The Farm—18,000 acres of prison on the old plantation.

A site in Angola, Louisiana, Angola is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The Farm—18,000 acres of prison on the old plantation. HauntHunt files it with prisons, dark history and local folklore. The presences in its file go unnamed: the angola dead, the record says. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Angola is the plantation's — the slave quarters that became the cells, the 18,000 acres that are the prison. The leasing was the worse — the convicts who were subleased for profit, the abuse that was 'worse than slavery.' The blood was the '60s — the 'bloodiest prison' that it earned, the stabbings that were common.
The flood was the '22 — the levee that breached, the prisoners trapped in the refinery. The reform is the current — the accreditation that it got, the tours that it gives. Angola is the largest — the maximum security that's bigger than Manhattan, the 'Alcatraz of the South.'
The file keeps Angola: the slave plantation origin, the convict leasing, the '60s violence, and the 18,000 acres.
Angola is the archive's Louisiana file — the plantation that's the prison.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Angola is the archive's Louisiana file — the prison that's the plantation.
A prison keeps its quarters — the file's suggestion being that Angola's hold is the continuity: the slave cabins that became cells, the leasing that was the abuse, and the size that's the record.
