Prison lifestyle of the 1930's documenting life on a chain gang as well as a facilities in Georgia and Alcatraz Island in California.
Persons convicted of a crime in the 1920’s were called convicts and were expected to earn their keep. This film documents the chain gangs of that era where the prisoners were put to work doing roadwork, plowing fields with teams of mules, and working in the woods tapping pine trees to collect turpentine. The chain gang convicts slept in mobile cages at remote prison camps.
Close-up of shackles and chains around prisoner’s legs (leg irons) to prevent escape. Clip (6-seconds) of two black men in a leg stock. A leg stock or ankle stock is a frame of timber with holes for the feet to restrain a person for punishment.
Scenes of prisoners making automobile license plates or vehicle tags at a prison facility in Collins, Georgia. Scenes of Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco Bay, San Francisco, California. Prisoner transfer after a fire at a prison in Chillicothe, Ohio with guards looking on.
"That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang. Oh, don't you know".
All day long they work so hard until the sun, is going down
I'm here because Im watching the movie Life, and I wanted to know if prison really looked like that in the 1930s. This actual footage looks identical.
Me 2 lol
Would sort out a lot of our problems today
Wonder why it didn't back then
@@DillaWorld it absolutely did. Look at crime today compared to 1930s America it’s light and day.
@@julianG1212 Prohibition and The Great Depression I see. They also had separate but equal water fountains in some states to keep the riff raft in place. Looks like it was a good time.
Why leave the timecode running? What purpose does that serve except to ruin the image?
They're so bloody young!
They all have a 🎩 on
Gotta be better that sitting in a cell all day
Reminds me of a concentration camp
Wow this is fantastic footage 👏. Thanks for sharing
Two distinct groups lining up for chow 0:46. seemed a bit scripted as you can see the food server waiting for his cue to begin serving. Same thin with the inmates scooping up to trailed out piles of dirt at 04:00 The dirt looks like it was dumped out fresh a couple hours earlier. And the men with chains shackles, Their pants were not dirtier than the others. So long as a man is bound in shackles, them pants don't come off.
Better than being sent to the meat grinder. I was curious what the atmosphere around ww2 was in America and its prisons did they make them fight ?
Liked how the one guy wiped his feet before entering the kitchen.
This is a brilliant source of research for any actor playing this role
What surprises me is that the camp isn’t segregated
All criminals , all the same
@@rosema7909 they’re supposed to be but unfortunately I know a different society
