I went with Civics class in high school.

Re: New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs talks about visiting Angola Prison

There are some guys in that prison that could have been some of the best athletes on the planet:

On August 11, 2005, Fightnews.com reported Etienne's ring career likely over with the following story:

Well known heavyweight Clifford Etienne was arrested Wednesday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on charges of armed robbery, kidnapping and the attempted murder of a police officer. Etienne allegedly robbed a local business, car-jacked a vehicle containing a woman and her children, then pulled a gun on police officers. He is being held in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison with a $70,000 bond.

On June 22, 2006, following his trial in Baton Rouge, Etienne was found guilty and sentenced to 150 years in prison without parole for an allegedly cocaine fueled crime spree that included robbing a check cashing business, carjacking and kidnapping a family, and attempting to shoot two policemen [1]. In April 2013 his sentence was reduced from 160 years to 105 years due to a technicality. [2]

The article paints a different picture now, interestingly.

X out the prison visit dates and replace it with a children's hospital.

If a Prison must be visited by the NFL let it be part of the rookie symposium.
