Larry to me is like the older friend I met through drinks and had a genuine human experience with through his stories. Fucking amazing human being and soul I’ve been binging his videos for about a week now
Totally man ! Thats very true. I was caught for robbery when I was about to be 18 ( so I was supposed to be charge as a adult ) but because of procedural defect from the police I never been convincted and avoid jail time. So sometimes still to this day im thinking to do another hit, right. When that happens, I swear to god, I can hear Larry's voice in my head saying "please stay out of trouble and dont go to jail" thanks Larry 🙏
That old guy that you were talking about, who never got any mail. It was nice hearing his story. He probably never thought anybody would ever hear his story or care. And though he's probably long gone by now, you brought his existence and his story to the world. When I get old and the world forgets about me, it will be such an honor to have whatever legacy I built for myself be shared with others, even if no one ever knows my name. The few minutes you spend doing this and answering these questions aren't just insightful and entertaining, you gave that man a gift that no one else probably could ever have.
Never been to prison, but I can relate with looking behind your back, wiping down the toilet bowl rim and all. (Ex Infantryman.) I also NEVER sit down at a restaurant with my back to the entrance(s)
ive done karate for 15 years and i definitely agree with the awareness. keepin that head on a damned swivel is important if you dont want it getting knocked off! 'nother thing i do is a quick rundown of a room and its occupants whenever i go in one. (where the entrances/exits are, potential weapons, concealment and cover, ranking each person on a threat scale, etc etc.) its funny how vastly different worlds and experiences coincide in many of the same ways.
I once threw a pillow on my uncles face while he sleeping a few days after he had gotten out. He grabbed me by the neck so fast I had no idea what happened lol life lessons learned
My dad was a CO in a Federal pen in Oregon in the 80s. I was telling him about your channel and when I told him you went to USP Atlanta, he said "oh shit that sucks!"
I have a habit of listening to UA-cam videos when I try to sleep, but when I try to fall asleep to one of your videos I find myself too entertained and end up staying awake for hours. Love the content Larry!
Speaking of prison habits that still remain on the outside, my best friends oldest brother did 5 years in Angola Penitentiary in Louisiana and 4 years in Tucker Max in Arkansas previously. They were pretty much back to back as he broke parole from Tucker and did some stuff in Louisiana that got him sent there. He's been out since released in '93. For the first half a year or so after he was released, whenever we were outdoors, he would always look upward in all directions like he was checking for activity in guard towers. We used to joke with him about it all in good fun. He loved talking shit, so he never took offense to it. He actually found it funny.
You are a good guy Larry I can tell you got a big heart. You may have done some bad things in your life but it’s great how far you’ve come and the knowledge you share with all of us
My mom overheard me watching this video and chimed in that “that’s another reason you should be in prison!” referring to me not making my bed. Well done, Ma
Imagine a guy in prison with 3 life sentences asking what you're in for and you say "I didn't make my bed". He would probably piss himself laughing. You're also probably too young to be watching these videos if your Mom is asking you to make your bed.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief If you've ever seen the Monty Python skit (Life of Brian), where they talk about over throwing the Roman Government: you talking about this reminded me of this skit lol.
I’ve seen videos on a Finnish prison and I was floored! It was better than college dorms in the US. Lol not sure I support them living THAT well. But definitely something closer to that than what we do have would be nice.

Lawton’s mentioned these kinds of series before. Apparently, they don’t show what actually goes on, in those places. Yaknow... The worst of it. Figures, the prison authorities wouldn’t allow it to be seen, just how many laws they’re breaking inside those prisons, as far as their power can take them on it.
Erkenntis Kohl no it’s not that one it’s the one with Raphael Rowe “inside worlds toughest prison” because it’s prisons all around the world not just America
@@IoanONeill Raphael Rowe was wrongly imprisoned here for a murder he didnt commit. He is a good lad. Also they allow him to see really dodgey stuff from the authorities as well as the inmates.
This channel is great. I work with troubled kids and I really like how you stress that there aren't bad people, just bad choices. Helps with perspective.
I can tell you're in the right frame of mind because after you told us about your brand spanking new truck getting totaled by a f#&king moron and almost killing you, you said "I'm a lucky man" (because you survived). That really shows us home much you value your life, family, and freedom today. Glad you're making a steady recovery Larry!
@moronical legend When I say "get well soon" or "hope you recover quickly" i don't just mean it literally. It's also a sentiment of respect. Figured most people knew that but you must be pretty young. There's nothing funny about anyone almost getting killed in a car accident.
@moronical legend I'm not following. Most use periods to end a sentence. If you're not laughing or humored then I'd think of something other than "lol".
He reminds me of my father I haven't watched Larry Lawton in about 5-6 months cuz I had stuff going on everyday life and when I watch him he reminds me of my dad and I get really happy inside Larry Lawton is a man's man but he's a stand-up good guy and when I watch them I just I feel safe in my truck I'm security here in Michigan and a real bad part of Detroit he makes me feel safe just hearing his voice that's awesome I love Larry Lawton he's a great guy God bless
Larry was capable of pulling ppwk but not everyone knows the story so seeing as how there are tens of thousands of innocent people locked up it seems stupid to beat someone for their charges which may be completely false
Larry, you're an inspiration to me! I've been watching all of your videos. I'm out on bond right now preparing to go back to do some time. Thanks for being my voice of reason in this very dark time of my life. You seem like a great guy and this world is lucky to have someone like you.
I saw a man aged 92. His wife would visit him once a month. It broke my heart seeing him get wheeled up to visit. He got a life sentence for theft in like 1933. Mind you I would be visiting my ex and see him. Come to find out, this old man was one of the most respected in there. Everyone loved him
Hearing about that guy locked up for 27 years for doing literally nothing is both sad and honestly strange to me. I’m 27 myself so that’s my entire life and looking back and realizing just how long that is. But to spend that entire time in prison for literally nothing is just horrific.
I know its a month late but happy anniversary of being out! Its awesome to see what you're doing with yourself since then. Im sure you're proud and happy with this community that you've built

It's so cool and interesting listening to all your stories. And I'm glad that you have changed form you past life and are living a happy life. Keep the extraordinary work up good gob man😉👌
Maybe for some but I think the benefit would be there for most people. You don't have to act paranoid, just observe your surroundings. There might be a deeper problem if your surroundings stress you out.
J there’s a difference between hyper aware and observant, hyper awareness needs more thought it will cause more stress, being more observant definitely would be a good thing
That’s called hypervigilance and is a symptom of many anxiety and trauma related mental illnesses. Being more observant is probably okay but it’s a slippery slope.
Im literally just watching this now n when I heard you talking about the Elderly Gentleman coming to mail call faithfully everyday and never getting a letter made me bawl my eyes out... Regardless of the Crime outside of Harming a child or an elderly person nobody deserves that type of pain at that age range that is Beyond heart wrenching feeling
I'm young and I'm in some legal trouble rn your inspiring your video's have been helping me through this so I can get out of the system asap and leave this behind me
I found your videos by chance and I really enjoy them. The stories and how you tell them are very interesting to listen to but specially how you don't glorify anything about prison. You praise and share good values and moments you experienced in a way that makes me believe you are a good person. All the luck to you. Cheers from Portugal.
Larry, keep this style! I watched other videos and I wasn´t sure but then I saw a video where you were more soft-spoken and I was like WHAT!?! I´ll continue to follow what you have to say. Thanks!
When you talked about the fact that you were amazed by the technology when you got out i was a bit shocked, i am currently studying safety and security management and psychology and sociology are a big part of that. Having quite a bit of knowlidge about "the criminal mind" im convinced that prisons should not be focused towards punishment, but rather (re)education and reintegration into society. I am dutch and our prison rooms are quite "luxurious", you get a private room, a closet, a toilet,paintings on the wall, a relatively good bed and you can rent a tv. In prisons you get the choice to work and to study, or both. With working, you earn money (a little, but enough to rent a tv and have some extra) and it prepares you for when you get out. People compare our prisons with hotels, but they are very wrong about that, there is a difference, a very big one, with hotels, you can walk out whenever you want, whilst in a prison, you can not. From what i hear about the american prisons i get the idea that americans have the mindset of: "out of sight, out of mind". You cant just lock someone up for 10 years and expect them to reintegrate into society flawlessly and unnoticed, if you dont teach them a job or skill or whatever, when they get out they only know one thing to do, which is to steal/rob/whatever. I would love it if you could get a grip on the current prison system in america and drastically change the way it works, it will take a long, long time. But it will be worth it. Maybe you can visit one of our prisons oneday when this whole covid19 mess is dealt with and get to see and hear the differences with your own eyes. God bless you and be safe out there on the other side of the pond
Larry Lawton you are the greatest motivator and speaker. I wanted to ask if your military service made your time easier. Thank you for that I served too. Looking forward to your next video and be safe Big Bro always.

Everybody likes saying slippery slope for some reason. It's seems like I've been slipping down every slope there is
Im literally just watching this now n when I heard you talking about the Elderly Gentleman coming to mail call faithfully everyday and never getting a letter made me bawl my eyes out... Regardless of the Crime outside of Harming a child or an elderly person nobody deserves that type of pain at that age range that is Beyond heart wrenching feeling
Thank you Larry for sharing your strenght and knowledge. You help more people than you know. Love from Montreal.
I’m so stoned the thumbnail made me laugh I don’t know why but I like this guy
I'm young and I'm in some legal trouble rn your inspiring your video's have been helping me through this so I can get out of the system asap and leave this behind me
larry: I know I can get away with another robbery...
also larry: for legal reasons that's a joke,
I found your videos by chance and I really enjoy them. The stories and how you tell them are very interesting to listen to but specially how you don't glorify anything about prison. You praise and share good values and moments you experienced in a way that makes me believe you are a good person. All the luck to you. Cheers from Portugal.
Have been watching these videos all night, keep them coming Larry. 👌👌👌
Love these videos Larry! Thank you so much for sharing your very valuable knowledge and entertaining stories. Much love!
Love that shirt Larry 🔥🔥🔥🤙🏻
Thanks, I thought I would use a different shirt.
This man is the living proof that rehabilitation is possible. If only people realized that instead of treating inmates like animals
My dad went to prison for 9 years and every time we go out to eat he's always looking behind him and always shielding his food,
Larry, keep this style! I watched other videos and I wasn´t sure but then I saw a video where you were more soft-spoken and I was like WHAT!?! I´ll continue to follow what you have to say. Thanks!
You ever see an inmate fight a guard 1v1 and win ?
Yes, many times. and then get beat half to death by a gang of guards.

When you talked about the fact that you were amazed by the technology when you got out i was a bit shocked, i am currently studying safety and security management and psychology and sociology are a big part of that. Having quite a bit of knowlidge about "the criminal mind" im convinced that prisons should not be focused towards punishment, but rather (re)education and reintegration into society. I am dutch and our prison rooms are quite "luxurious", you get a private room, a closet, a toilet,paintings on the wall, a relatively good bed and you can rent a tv. In prisons you get the choice to work and to study, or both. With working, you earn money (a little, but enough to rent a tv and have some extra) and it prepares you for when you get out. People compare our prisons with hotels, but they are very wrong about that, there is a difference, a very big one, with hotels, you can walk out whenever you want, whilst in a prison, you can not.
From what i hear about the american prisons i get the idea that americans have the mindset of: "out of sight, out of mind". You cant just lock someone up for 10 years and expect them to reintegrate into society flawlessly and unnoticed, if you dont teach them a job or skill or whatever, when they get out they only know one thing to do, which is to steal/rob/whatever.
I would love it if you could get a grip on the current prison system in america and drastically change the way it works, it will take a long, long time. But it will be worth it.
Maybe you can visit one of our prisons oneday when this whole covid19 mess is dealt with and get to see and hear the differences with your own eyes.
God bless you and be safe out there on the other side of the pond

how does it feel to go from a prisoner to someone who gets thousands of views in a few minutes like that is such an amazing character change
Larry Lawton you are the greatest motivator and speaker. I wanted to ask if your military service made your time easier. Thank you for that I served too. Looking forward to your next video and be safe Big Bro always.
