Post conviction/jail time in a Federal pen,Cannon developed a huge gambling problem & lost most of his dental practice. This is one of the main reasons he ended up practicing at Angola, as he had no real practice anymore. He was into private poker games & owed money all over town, to the extent one gambler to whom he owed money picketed his dental office.But that was yrs ago & by all accounts he's rehabilitiated himself/his image. However, as a result, he did withdraw from public view for the most part.

Man didn't realize things had gotten that bad. However, I also think gambling, corruption and shady dealings are a part of the Louisiana fabric so I would think this it would be the one place that embraced him with open arms. No offense of course to its citizens

.....that's what I remember about it. Angola was the only place he could get a job. It had nothing to do with altruism.
