message: Should there be a separate article about Angola, Louisiana? You can see that there's a separate community on Google Maps by searching "Angola, West Feliciana Parish, LA". GNIS|name=Angola, Louisiana lists Angola as its own populated place.  This community took the name of Angola Plantation, and its post office handled the Louisiana State Penitentiary's mail, which led to the prison's nickname of Angola.

* There would have to be significant content about the "Angola Plantation" that had nothing to do with the prison. Currently "Angola" is the prison. They are one and of the same WhisperToMe (talk) 09:08, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Angola, Louisiana (unincorporated community) 

message: It is sometimes called "Angola" after the name of the post office that serves the prison
This is incorrect. If you watch the documentary 'The Farm: Life inside Angola Prison' (1998), the head warden will tell you why it's called Angola. It used to be a slave plantation and the slaves came from Angola.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.143.139 (talk) 19:19, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I worked in a Louisiana State Prison for 10 years and had to do my training at Angola. They talk about air conditioning in the main wiki page multiple times and i think it should be corrected. When you hear the word air conditioning most people think of central air or at the very least a window unit that cools the air. But in Louisiana State Prisons all they have (as of 2008 when i left) is large fans. I just think that it should be made clear that it is not proper air conditioning as most people would define it. My understanding of it was during the 70s or 80s the inmates were given a choice of either having central air conditioning or cable tvs and they chose the cable tvs. During the summer the fans are just a drop in the bucket and saying that they have air conditioning is very misleading.
