    And when I say "chain gang", I mean that LITERALLY... a group of inmates were linked together with restraints and were picking up trash on the side of an AL HWY...

    The reporter was allowed to interview one of the inmates (he was ~18-19) and it went kinda like this (paraphrasing and truncating):

    Enlightened TV Chick: Sir, can you tell me about being on a chain gang?
    Oppressed Inmate: I ought not be on no chain, yo... I ain't no dawg...

    Enlightened TV Chick: So, what do you think about this practice and the penal system in Alabama?
    Oppressed Inmate: It makes me know I don't wanna come back here...

    Oh the horror. Prison used as a deterrent rather than slightly less comfortable living conditions.

    the best deterrent is would-be criminals thinking they'll probably get caught.
