The Chain Gang is a group of prisoners in Les Misérables.
"Prologue"[]
The Chain Gang can be seen singing the "Work Song" within the first scene of the first act in the musical. In the play, they are seen rowing a large ship under the supervision of Javert and his men. However, in the film, they are seen pulling a large ship into a harbor. Jean Valjean is among them, one of the few to be given his yellow ticket-of-leave after the singing commences.
