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.
