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.

Really sad that another person can treat another person like that. I would NOT PUT UP with abuse like that. Or any!
Thank you This was very interesting.
A far cry from the blame-game of people going ''it's the white man's fault''.
But this was a normal D house!
Nothing exceptional here!
I've personally been to worse D spots across the Midwest.
From STL, Indy, Cin City and E-Ville IN!
The only thing I get from this doc is the Reaganomics drug crackdown spilling over way too far into the future!
That heroin is a monster folks!! I am a little over 4 years clean off of heroin and all drugs. But for those that don't know that heroin is a real beast folks!!
Learn how to speak correctly. There are free English classes at any community college. Go find your own job. You ARE NOT your environment
Stop asking the government for everything. Go find your own job. I did. Go to college, get a student loan, get a job. Do everything on your own. Life owes you nothing. Wake up. You are not your environment
I was born in Chicago I saw crack everywhere
The USA Justice system is ridiculous. 42, 35 and 25 years is insane for what I just watched! These boys never stood a chance. How can you make right choices at such a young age when surrounded by such negativity. God Bless the Grandma and all the children growing up without their fathers.
I love black people…..My heart feels sorry for them……..
“Here you either do a jumpshot or you sling crack rock” Good Lord; that should be a collective wake up call for ppl that think this is just an “inner city problem”🙄CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME PPL‼️
the trade unions should be organizing them inner city neighborhoods them kids could learn a trade that pays enough to live a comfortable life and be able to leave the hood if they want to
Dude itmweird that lady said that nobody lived in there I'd be out
Here's the deal if you don't like your environment change your direction
“ the United States is a slave state🤡” 😂 they’ll say anything to justify poisoning their own people, and not having to work a real job like a real man..
“United States is a slave state🤡”🤣
They’ll say anything to justify poisoning their own people and not have to work an honest job like a real man..
If you think about it …these guys we foolish to go from a major city … metropolis where they were virtually invisible to move on a smaller city and be basically on FRONT STREET FOR THE LOCAL DEA …… DUMB STUPID CRIMINAL'S
Video starts right off blaming this on slavery and no one “giving you anything”. YOU have to go get it. The people in the community are responsible for their environment, if you don’t like it change it, nobody gonna do it for you. The day they start looking inward instead of trying to put the blame on others is the day they start prospering. Create business and good jobs and when people try to rob or destroy it stop them.
40:50 It's the government's fault! They wouldn't be at that trap house if they could go to a store and buy what they need. It's been a while since I've seen an alcohol trap house…
Except Crack… my kids scarface. 🤣
You get less for murder! That's a crazy long sentence for drug dealing. It's ashame the justice system obviously doesn't believe in change or reform. They say there's 2 options… death or life in jail. Well what about change, reform, recovery… what about a 2nd chance? I feel so sorry for not only their family's but also the convicts to have to live out that sentences. And for the police to bug/tap a trap house, and go on about them pulling the plug if things go wrong and dangerous situations occur… Well, what about when the gf was getting beaten on the floor, or the boys hands got hammered, or when they were selling drugs to all ages and socio-economic backgrounds etc… They didn't step in at all then. They knowingly allowed drugs to be sold in the neighbourhood and let it happen just so they could gather more intelligence so a crazy long sentence could be handed out. There was no need. They should have never let it go on so long, and just got them charged with possession and intent to supply so then the supply would have been cut off sooner. Police are meant to stop crime, not knowingly allow it to continue. I feel sorry for their kids / family's, and even the convits themselves. If only there was some hope and prison reform to help them change their lives and be productive members of society. With sentences that long, what hope do they have.
How was this legal? Nevermind, minute 24 answered that question!!
Not her saying she told bc of her kids well she wasn’t worried about her kids when she was slingin dopé … that’s not how it works “oh I’m willing to RISK the consequences however now that the consequences are here oh no no no now I’m a MOM” smfh #rats

That baby said he got 30 years left…?😢😢😢
eveybody scared to go to prison cause im scared to go to prison..heffer shut up
So they're supposed to be given jobs?
Always crying, throwing out the slave card the race card ….G.T.F.O.H.
Why not wait and only go after the suppliers not the small timers
Very sad to watch so many babies without their fathers so many sons without their families live in an inner city of a big state and a big city. You have those issues you have those downfalls in life, but you try to make what you are givingfind God find a church home and let that legion at the streets. God bless the families and the babies that has the deal with his bird every day life least for the next 30 years plus
A mistake us nit selling drugs and taking lives fo years. He got caught that's when it ended not b4
He didn't get on drugs. Yes, you are glad about that. But, you made no mention of the many lives and families, including lives he ruined, killed, and fed drugs too. The number of people he robbed and disfigured. Go look at that one. We not happy. He ruined communities forever.
A very sad story.
I absolutely loved this documentary! I wish there were more like this and could be shown in schools. Thank God for the grandmas caring for the kids! I wish there was a way I could do something for grandma! Id love to meet her and sit down and talk with her. She has duch a calming presence. ❤️
Planes brought the dope into the neighborhood poor people don’t have planes and boats
By design no jobs no education no hope
Nowadays they carry the cameras and microphones in their pockets right into the house.
I'll tell you buy your own people,so stop that you need repercussions
X on my back. I understand and feel you
sad
Smh soft is coke verses crack 🤧
Only Yeshua knows when itll end. Try to be ready
I served in the US Army for 3 n half years,before and during shield/ storm and I don't care what color reaches out a hand to help
I didn't have a choice in being born white either,but im here just like everybody else that's breathing. But being born in 71,I acknowledge the fact that racism will always be a part of this world. But I see no color,only actions
