Look out for Lakota Wise at the annual prison rodeo at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary this weekend.
Wise, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence for drug possession and forgery, has been training with her all-female team since June. "This is something positive and the first time I've done something like this sober," the 29-year-old told The Oklahoman.
The rodeo is the only one in the world that takes place at a prison. About 12,000 to 16,000 are expected to attend.
