Inside A Crack House: US Drug Gangs Exposed (True Crime Documentary) | Real Stories

In the summer of 2005, federal agents and police in Rockford, Illinois, captured over a thousand hours of surveillance footage inside a crack house. The gang smokes marijuana, plays with guns, and sells crack and heroin for six weeks, completely unaware that their every move is being recorded.
Customers come and go, unaware that their private lives are being revealed. This is an intimate portrait of a crack house's rise and fall, as well as a drug-addled American urban culture. Interviews with gang members, their friends, and police disclose the unavoidable tragedy - and the occasional dark humour - of a reality that exists underneath the surface of any major community.

If only the government can keep this same energy with rapist and killers. 42 years for drug dealing (which is bad) but rapist getting 10 years make it make sense.
-
That grandma trying to clean up the house for her grandson to come home to one day… My heart broke for her.
-
hearing that little boy say “daddy’s only got 30 years left” broke my heart. God bless him and his family.
-
“They didn’t give us no jobs”… Last I knew, jobs were earned, not given.
-
Grandma said you don’t have any friends out there, I’m your friend. How true that is.
-
Everyone needs a grandmother like that. What a very wise, wonderful and loving woman.
-
The parents really showed how they aren't 100% to blame while also being honest about the fact that they did play a part.

As a former addict, I can relate to most of this video!! I thank God every single day I got out alive 11 years ago!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽👊🏽💪🏽 Only a person that has walked in the shoes of an addict or a dealer/trafficker, can really understand the power of the drugs and the money!! When it gets you in it's grip.. It's nearly impossible to break those chains ⛓️😔 But I'm here to tell you it can be done, and I'm living proof of that!! I'll be 59 on March 11th and my testimony would blow your mind!! Truly a miracle that I'm still here🙏🏽 My heart and prayers go out to every single person trapped in this very dark place, including the families, because they are affected more than most people even realize!!🙏🏽💔 God bless and NEVER GIVE UP HOPE..🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽👑💪🏽💪🏽

Can't watch this as a black man I grew up in the same neighborhood, I just refused too say in that hood best decision I made. There's a whole world out there.
-
The Grandmother was the best part of this documentary. She's strong and proud even though some family members fell victim to the streets. I hope that she's still alive. Blessings to her always.

I feel bad for the girlfriend with the 2 children. She looks extremely depressed and lost. It looks hard in the US to be a single Mum in poverty a real struggle. I hope things work out for her and her children 🙏 Also the Grandma is a legend and we need more people like this but unfortunately they don't seem to make many people like her no more.

Montrell’s grandmother is an outstanding, strong women who is incredibly wise. You can tell she’s seen so much pain and devastation in her life and she still finds a way to stay positive. The world would be a much better place with more ppl like her walking this 🌎
-
what the son said at the end broke my heart. the pure innocence of not knowing the severity of his fathers jail time. "HE ONLY GOT WHAT, THIRTY YEARS LEFT?" To all of my fellow black men, let us break these generational curses, and call on god in time of despair - AMEN
-
"he only got 30 years left granny?" Broke my heart. God bless you all.
-
It made my heart smile watching the little boy and little girl eating at McDonald's, and the grandmother's interaction was perfect. It made me smile that she got that second chance.
-
Omg the way the grandma describes the food she had. I could listen to her all day. Shes such a shining light 😊
-
"If 30 years is what it took to humble myself, then all is well." Damn.. gotta give this guy credit for taking responsibility for his actions.
-
The lady who helped set these guys up kept saying “I did it for my kids I wasn’t going to choose them over my kids”. Funny how they became really important when it was time to save her own skin.
-
The first guy said the operative word….”they won’t GIVE us no job…..” what they need to realize is there is not one person where they are just given something like a job. You have to work for what you want in this life.

I work in a health care clinic inside of a low income hud high rise. The devastation, fear, and lack of opportunities and education for families is heart breaking. Gun fire is common. Kids with rotten teeth and already pre-diabetic, walking by bodies cause the EMS system is slow to respond. Great grandparents raising children. I asked one of the mid-level dealers why not take care of yourself and be more cautious. He said look around, how many guys over 30 do you see? I am already gonna die in the streets or be in prison. He was right. So many children caught up in this.
