Williams, To imprisonment

for a period of 30 years of hard labor.

No!

Lets go, Marsh.

didn't had to get up so

early on my count, sheriff!

I ain't in any hurry.

I figured you want to stop

off meeting your folks.

That's nice of you.

Here they come!

Go ahead Marsh! I will be somewhere

around the place, whenever you are ready.

Hello, Marsh.

Hello, Marsh. You look swell.

Hello, Marsh.

Well Marsh, we will all be...

...I guess everything's being said.

You know how he feels.

Marsh! how all of us feel.

You got to stop thinking

about me. All of you!

It's my problem.

We are your family, Marsh! We will

never rest till you are back with us.

Mama, its me who is going to the walls.

It ain't going to be easy. but

I got to do it in my own way.

I don't want any of you to

write to me, or try and see me.

Lets not make it any tougher than it is.

I talked to Andy White.

He is going to arrange for a divorce.

- I will never leave you, Marsh!

- There ain't anything else to do.

Its gonna be a long time.

I will wait No matter how long it is.

- You gotta promise me something, Marsh!

- What?

You mustn't try to escape.

- I will do my time.

- You gotta promise me.

Until you released.

I promise!

- You gotta promise me something too.

- Anything.

You change your mind,

you go and see Andy White.

I thought you said we shouldn't

make it any tougher than it is.

Hold me, Marsh.

You know, you said you will never stay

married to a criminal! You remember?

I am a convicted murderer, Maggie!

You are my husband.

Good-bye, Maggie.

Hey, Sheriff!

The first day:
The worst:

When a man realizes

he is no longer free.

That this is his home, that this

will be his world from now on.

Every convict takes

prison differently David!

Each men fights it in its own way.

I don't know when I am well off: I used

to get 40 cents an hour for doing this.

Hey you! Get on it!

- I said get on it.

- Hold it. I have got a pain.

Oh! Where? Right here?

Better get your belly used to it. It is what

you are going to get for the next 30 years.

Come on, get going!

Kruger, stay away from him.

Come on, get up!

Get up!

Hello, Marsh. How are you feeling?

feel terrible! What happened?

You are ok now. Your appendix busted.

- Anything I can do for you, Marsh!

- Leave me alone.

Maggie is waiting outside.

I don't want to see her. I don't want

to see anybody. I made that clear!

Oh! Take it easy Marsh.

It's toughest at the start.

Yeah! Yeah!...

Yeah, they say it will get easier.

It's easier as soon as you realize that

you are an animal and start acting like one.

There he goes yapping

to the bulls again.

- I thought you told me he is out?

- He is just feeding them a line.

Yeah! But on Whom?

I am telling you I am not

paying if that fight was fixed.

- Championship changed hands. Its official

- Not on my book. It ain't.

- I hear you caught at the market, Krueger?

- Market! What market?

The tobacco market... since the present

stars kicked in. Where is it stashed?

- I know nothing about it.

- Come clean, Kruger.

- I want to know who else is on it.

- I told you, I don't know nothing.

Lay the leather on him until he talks.

The fink!

- Deal me out.

- But he is a stooge!

He didn't stooped on me.

Outside!

Alright! Break that thin ice.

Go ahead.

We know you have got knives.

Most of the time we dont

care because we have got guns.

But I warned you. No more knifing!

Now, who knifed Roback?

Open up, or it is going to go twice

as hard on you when we do find out.

- Roback got it with this?

- No.

- Who gave it to him?

- I don't know.

Joe.

Sweat him!

- Have some bandage.

- Shut up!

Pluck your shirt.

- Lets have a look.

- Say you are.

I wont hurt him. I know these rats.

Put your hands up!

See! I know these rats.

We treated you like human beings.

But you ask for trouble. All of you.

And you are going to get it.

On the chain gang!

On that truck.

- Chain gang.

- It can't be as bad as they say.

You will find out.

The chain gang is the end of the line.

I have seen a lot of men

broken on the chain gang.

It breaks a mans body, It

breaks the spirit or both!

You do not look tough to

me, but this ain't the walls.

We know how to handle

troublemakers on a chain gang.

That's your palace over there.

Go and find yourself a bunk.

Alright! Get out of there. Let's go.

It was dark when they went to work

and it was dark when they came back!

There are many ways

of taming a man, David!

Throw him enough fear on

him. Laying of leather on him.

And you destroy them

or make him desperate.

Listen, you men.

There is some bad news to give you.

I know you will hate this, but you are getting off

gravy train to make room for more deserving men.

You are leaving us.

And I know you are going to miss

us, and we will miss you. Load on!

- Where are they going?

- Transferred to Caledonia prison.

Get them over to Robbinsville depot.

- Caledonia?

- What's that life?

- I don't know never been there.

- I have been in all of them.

Caledonia is no country club.

But it has got discipline.

Now.

Time!

Guard! Help! Escape!

Nobody move! Nobody!

Well, that's one you owe me. Saved

you from getting shot full lead.

I wonder if you did save me.

That was the first time I

ever saw your father, David.

It was many years ago and I

guess neither at that time.

I know I didn't. He was just

another graduate from the chain gang.

My name is Peoples, Captain Peoples.

I am the law here.

If you behave yourself.

You will be treated square.

Get out of line, the hosepipe.

Try to escape. You will

get drills through the head.

Bunks are over there.

Alright! Side faces.

" Every day I wake up

" Hoping to hear from you

"And then, I come up to our fort.

" Here I feel close to you

" Here I can forget...

" And remember

" Please Marsh, Please write,

" Even if it is only a few lines.

Mail, here is the mail!

- Cope!

- Hey.

- Carash!

- Yeah.

Kruger!

Skeets!

Meridan!

Williams!

Williams!

What's the matter, you deaf?

Vogel!

Dickinson!

Meridan!

- Captain?

- Yeah?

Look at this.

- Line up the men

- Line up! Come on! Line up.

Hurry! Get in a line.

Well boys, I have got some news for you.

The State Prison Commission has finally given

us permission to play a little baseball here.

Do a honest days work,

behave yourself...

You will be allowed to

play or watch the game.

There is also a new directive.

"Once a year, the trustee gets

24 hours outside with his wife"

- What if he ain't got a wife?

- He still will get his 24 hours.

Find one I guess.

Don't worry Gaveryn! You

never going to make a trustee.

Don't get any ideas on turning

this into a country club.

We haven't thrown away our guns

yet and we still got our hosepipe.

Anytime anybody wanna try

your knives against us,

We will be very happy to accommodate.

Williams!

- Who gave you permission to leave?

- I figured you said everything you had in your mind?

There is room for only one self-minded
