The crowd of 9,400 cringes and hoots as each man gets pile driven into the dirt then skitters comically for the fences. The ring’s eight chutes swing open, and eight bulls buck into the arena simultaneously, with the inmate riders in Kevlar and stripes flying in every direction like zebra-patterned popcorn.
