| What do a car thief, a meth addict, and a prostitute all have in common? Thirty feet of sturdy, steel-linked chains. They're part of a 15-woman chain gang, the only chain gang in America. Chained together and wearing jail-issued stripes, they paint over graffiti, bury homeless people, and clear highway brush. Some say it's sadistic. Others say if you do the crime, you should do the time. Is it torture or tough love? We'll meet the latest ladies on the line-up, the detention officers who try to keep them in line, and the man behind it all, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who calls himself the "Toughest Sheriff in America." Chain Gang Girls will reveal how these women got where they are and witness their month-long shackled rotation.
