AMERICAN CHAIN GANG, Xackery Irving's award winning documentary now available on DVD on Amazon, Target.com and Netflix, examines the lives of the prisoners of this country's forced labor camps. With nothing but a .38 and a shotgun to separate them, inmates and officers reveal the truth about life on the chain. Are they preventing convicts from coming back or are they making hardened criminals harder?

  • Thanks for your comments. Check out the DVD American Chain Gang and let us know what you think of our film.

  • I love your channel. I know I've said it once before, but you are worthy to hear it again. History in the making and I dig history. xoxoxoxox

  • Glad you like our documentary clips. Hope you have a chance to see the full length DVD.

  • In the old days, they put the ball and chain on, now its shoot to kill, because that's cheaper and an easier long-term solution?

  • While we don't agree, thanks for your comments. We hope you have a chance to see the full length DVD.

  • I asked it as a question. I wasn't stating my views on the matter.

  • I see. Chain gang labor goes back to the 1860's in the US. Ball and chain labor used on inmates as well for much longer. Idea is to limit their movement while engaging them in labor. Chaining legs restricts movement while allowing them to work and move more easily. Check out our clip on the history of chain gangs.

  • Free slave labor!

  • fatass pig

  • Oh you stupid redneck ! Those men WERE beaten by their "daddies" & that is why they are unfortunately under your watchful eye you sorry piece of scum. Sweat away you nasty miserable waste of skin.

  • I see this completely differently as an Australian. Probably as a seventh generation from the second fleet from the prison colonies 200 years ago. We learned all the stories past down the generations from our grandparents. It's not all what it appears. Some of the comments below didactic prejudice from bigots who assume that they will never be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could happen to anyone. It's not always justice.

  • this fat fuckin redneck aint no better than the inmates....he's a lazy fat fuck who doesnt want to work for a paycheck so he takes all his insecurities and frustrations out on people who cant defend themselves without serious repercussions...by the way they dont let people with crimes like murder and rape child molesting etc. out on the side of the road....this asshole iss lying to the film crew to make himself seem tough and legitimate...shows u what kinda person he is...

  • if YOU think YOU have a right of freedom of choice or speach, think again, and if YOU beleive that. walk into a court room and wear YOUR hat, even if YOU take it off to show nothing is there and put it back on see what hapens if YOU choose to wear YOUR hat, or speak out of turn to a judge and see how long it takes for that freedom of speach to be talking from behind bars under contempt of court with no right to an attroney or right of hearing or trial to defend YOURSELF,,,blind,deaf and stupid

  • now, if a citizen commits pergery in court under oath, thats auto. 1-5 yrs or more in prision, but catch the presidant clinton in congresional lies under oath and proviable, well the gov. and attronies make the law's to protect their own while people who work 80-100 hours a week pay the price and never tast steak and lobster, now condem me all you like, but the truth is the truth, HE GAVE THEM EYE'S BUT CANT SEE, EARS AND CAN'T HEAR, open YOUR blind eyes and deaf ears and start thinking.

  • to continue, the ignornat, in my opinion ass hole, holding the gun, bet he sure votes every year at the elections, for who, liers, theives and crooks, goverment officials in this country are more criminilistic than most others in prision, ohhh but there the good guyes, like HILLERY CLINTON, yes, all those bad guys shooting at her over sea's should be locked up, oh wait a min. there were none on the video affirming her lies, but on the jay leno show, lets just make jokes and laugh it off.

  • i'll let you know what i think of YOUR film, first YES, rapist, murders and killers, should be off the streets and behind bars where they belong, so should the fat ignorant peice of crap holding the gun. I belive in justice, and as well liberity for all, talk about the murders and rapist getting loose and you being responciable for them, they walk the streets every day cause there is no room in prision for them, too full for those that want to smoke a joint and have a good night rest.
