Chain Gang Chicks

Chain Gang in Phoenix, Arizona

I’ll bet a dollar none of these women ever expected to be dressed in striped uniforms and chained at the ankle, working for people armed with weapons to make sure they remain doing what they are doing, which is picking up trash. Then again, back when they were just ten years old, I don’t think they foresaw the day they would blow someone for crack, get busted with meth, be arrested for their 3rd DUI, or be taken in for assault, child abuse, or grand theft, but that’s their reality these days in their early 20’s and 30’s. While there’s an element of public shaming going on, I think there’s also some humility along with some encouragement that they should do what’s right because being outside enjoying freedom cannot easily be taken for granted after their poor judgment brought them to this point in their lives.
