Thanks for your support. I was just on the Rude Jude Show. SiriusXM Shade 45. Always educating people.
That’s cool
Your integrity shines bright. Your choice to inform and expose these stories an issues mean a great deal. They are priceless as is the hope that they give. Thank you Larry for making a difference. Keep em coming, love from London
Did you ever think about trying to talk the guy out of “checking out”?
Wow
be generous be loved
I think people really underestimate how bad prison actually is
picture me with a kodak
I agree. If for some reason I ever end up going to prison. I'd kill myself before I got there
Soooo true, a lot of people do
I feel like its overestimated. Remember this is the top 10 worst things over the course of a 12 year stint in the federal penitentiary system. I'm not street smart at all, and I managed a short state bid no problems.
It really depends on context.
I did 21 years straight in the Virginia DOC, I totally understand where you are coming from. PTSD isn’t just a military thing Brother.
Bloody hell, 21 years. How do you even adapt once you're out
So so true. CPSD
Pardon me it’s CPTSD ~Continuous trauma is that definition
When did you come out if you don't mind me asking?
@@beast6092 I went in in 1993 and got out in 2014
When Larry left home, he told his father “you’re the man of the house now”
picture me with a kodak
LOL
🤣🤣🤣👍
Lol
Lmaoooooo
Larry hearing this really gives me hope bro. I’m 27 and I have a family and it’s really difficult to be “normal”. The nightmares, the screams, the insanity that is my life literally haunts me and so much of this I can directly relate to. You inspire me to be better tho. Thank you brother.
il 25 bro we are ancient now
Don't let go sir
How you doing now man?
Maybe you don't like it, maybe it gets you the wrong way, but weed kills your dreams.
A joint, maybe 4-5 puffs before bed, not too much to get too high and the nightmares are gone. I haven't dreamed (bad) for years now and it really helped me with my nights.
@@denisrodrigue829 I appreciate you bro
It’s folks like Larry that show even though someone messed up, they’re not always a bad person.
Thank you that means a lot
I mean larry was seriously bad before cuz I don't think robbing jewelry stores is just "messing up"
but he's practically redeemed himself already
@@pyxalatedI think it's hilarious.
In my opinion, carrying out heists without killing or injuring someone beyond recovery is not bad.
@pyxalated You don’t cheer for the thieves in bank/jewelry heist movies? Stealing is bad, but being able to call oneself a jewel thief is absolutely badass. Doing a decade in prison and coming out alive, then starting a program to keep kids out of trouble is equally badass. I wish my life story was half as badass as Larry’s.
"rape isnt about sex, it's about violence" if only people could understand this, thank you for making this distinction
You could do a video comparing prisons in other countries. The ones where they're better and the places where they are worse
This sounds like it would take a lot of research, but if Larry were to get in touch with British, Canadian, Australian or Chinese ex-cons, he could make it into a whole series. I'd definitely watch it. :)
Nordic prisons are resort hotels, basically.
@@Aivottaja Turkish high security ones can be hell
Already been done. Check out the Madagascar prison. As expected, prisons in extreme poor countries are beyond horrible. They would consider an American Prison like a hotel suite. " 2 people in a cell, sign me up"
there is no "better" prison they all suck.
Hey Larry, love your videos. For a future video, could you go into more detail about training/working out in prison - even more in depth than what Brandon Williams covered? How popular is it among inmates?
picture me with a kodak
Good idea. I'd love to hear Larry talk about his or other people's diet/workout routines in prison.
I've always been curious on how they can eat enough and eat well enough to put on serious muscle. I have a hard enough time doing it with access to any food I want and all the education I would need here on UA-cam.
Check community tab. Post about this topic yesterday.
@@yolkiandeji7649 thank you, didn't see that. Still would be cool if he made his own vid in my opinion
You're such a great story teller Lar. So detailed, so intriguing, so funny...at times.
Thank you for the great content.
I have a loved one in prison. My loved one doesn't tell me what is happening inside there. Watching you gives me a glimpse of what my lo has to deal with on a daily basis. It's enlightening and frightening. Apparently, my lo is so very strong. Thanks Larry!
Your for sure normal my dude. Seeing certain shit does things to the mind and not to mention the soul. Keep doing what you do brother. Much love from my family to yours.
I remember this one story from a mouth I trust not to bs.
There was guy who decided to check out and to do so, he wanted it to be as dramatic as possible; he slit his wrist open with a shiv.
Thing is, apparently a few seconds after he did this, he grew cold feet.
So he began to bang on his cell door, screaming that he was bleeding, he needed help.
Nobody came... and apparently it wasn't like the guards wouldn't be able to hear him.
He kept banging on that door and screaming, but with each scream his voice grew weaker and weaker.
Last thing my friend said he heard was sobbing.
Then he was wheeled away in the morning.
Lesson? If you're thinking about checking out, think real fricking hard before you do so... and seek help... because no matter how lonely you think you are, there will be people who miss you.
Great advice.
Some of these guards are fucking psychopaths man, i get that you see and deal with alot of shit but how can you hear someone literally begging for their life and not even get off your ass to investigate and then leave him there cold until morning.......
Larry! I’ve been watching you for years, it’s a huge inspiration seeing how far you’ve come, I love watching your videos. Thank you for speaking your mind and sharing these stories with us, we love you!!
Hey Larry, just finished the book. Thanks so much for it, really amazing story. Gonna do a presentation for my communication class on prison, certainly have no problem talking about it at this point with all you’ve taught me. Keep up the good work!
picture me with a kodak
Way to go JOe, try to help people and educate them on the broken system we have.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief I’m certainly excited. Gonna talk about solitary, juvenile stuff, racial statistics, organization of the system, reformations and more. My problem bouta be be not going over the time frame lol.
@@Joseph-vn8gh certainly the best problem to have when making presentations
@@xX__ErectDiddyP445__Xxwhy do you keep posting this?
Hey Larry, I really enjoy your videos and love how real and educational they are. I am fortunate that I have never been to jail or prison but I see a lot of young kids trying to live the "gangster" life thinking it makes them tough or that it makes them look cool. I have recommended your channel to a few people I know, that work with kids who make bad choices, because I think you do a better job influencing young minds than any of the "Scared Straight" programs on TV. Much respect to you.
Thanks Larry for teaching, especially the young folks how bad of a place prison is generally. I knew that it is not milk & honey but what I did not know is the atrocities some people are capable of doing in the can. It is eventually a dog eat dog world while inside. You just opened my eyes up a little bit. It is a great thing you're doing and keep it up! Kind regards, Marko from Serbia.
Absolutely brutal Larry! Great video, keep it up.
picture me with a kodak
I am trying. Thank you.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief you're doing a great job!
Sir, I came across this video on my suggested video list and this video took me back to when my Mom and Dad were still alive and would both tell me about things that happened in prison. They were guards in Miami county correctional in Indiana. (They were two of the good ones.) They both met as officers there. Thank you so much.
Larry I absolutely love you and I appreciate your sincerity there is so much more to what you say about life and situations than just talking about the prisons thank you
Hay Larry, you have gone through and seen shit that most people can't imagine.
I have and all 100% true. No wonder I am fucked up at times.
Watching your stuff for a while now and the shit you are trying to fix is great, keep up the great work.
This man is the definition of honorable.
He went from being a convict to becoming a honorary police officer to becoming a popular UA-camr, he did not quit.
Larry, you are the most respected man I know.
Keep up the good work and I applaud you for rebuilding your life.
...not too sure that popular UA-camr is a step up or step down...
The first significant distributions of Narcan to the medically untrained (like law enforcement) started in 1996 but wasn't as commonplace as it is today until probably 10 or so years ago, to answer your question Larry.
Thanks, I didn't know that
I totally feel you Larry, I was in a bad relationship when I was younger and the bitch did some fucked shit to me, several of her friends tried to kill me. I've been stabbed way too many times and death itself hits different nowadays, but fighting back and fucking a few of them up real badly still haunts me to this day
Damn bro
Jesus, hope you're doing okay man.
When i was 17 my mom was hitting me so i pushed her back like by her arms and left bruises that haunts me to this day so i could only imagine how you feel smh
Ya know, after watching a lot of these, Larry seems like that one cool uncle you have that went to prison and has a lot of stories, but is doing everything he can to make sure you understand what he's talking about so don't end up like him. 10/10 love this guy
I do not know why I am fascinated with these stories from prison, but I am fascinated.
My continuing thanks for entertaining and teaching about the system.
You're so entertaining! My older sister almost went to prison for doctor shopping (she is getting the felony dropped down to a misdemeanor now) and totally manipulated her way out, and through the system, basically getting only probation (AP&P). She's suuuuuper preppy and weak and wouldn't have lasted. I'm glad she's not. Addiction is so sad, and it's so sad instead of helping those people, we send em to jail/prison.
picture me with a kodak
It's true it's sad.
Very sad, Keep trying to help her. Don't enable her, support her.
@@deanjustdean7818 no it shouldn't. it should be based on what you did. people get off too lightly. they need to pay back what they stole damaged. X2
What’s doctor shopping.?
hey Larry! another great video as usual, sorry see that the news is gone. but hope you have a Great week!
Check it out on the podcast. Every few weeks we will do a full news show.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief oh of course man i believe ive listed to every episode. no joke. keep up the great work!
Larry, :)
Daniel Crenshaw (medically retired Navy Seal & now congressman) writes in his book that there is military medical evidence that enduring and surviving hardships and psychological trauma actually develop neuro-connections in the brain which wire your intelligence in multiple facets.
In other words, the wisdom, deeper thinking, and survival knowledge gained through your experience actually makes you more intelligent and adaptable for problem-solving situations. So don't beat yourself up too much :)
It occurs to me sometimes watching your content, to ask, did you ever think you would get out and have all these friends, fans, people who actually care that you are healthy, safe, happy, and free? I love your stories and wisdom. And thank you from society for sharing your experiences and for trying to help others through relating with us and spreading positivity in the world.
I'm proud of you man* ~ God Bless you Larry
I love hearing prison story’s like these because it keeps me from doing the stupid shit that’ll get me in there I used too do some questionable things but now I’ve matured enough to realise the repercussions of those actions and won’t go near that life anymore
couldn't be more real. stay safe brother! Almost went away a few time I'm forever thankful I can listen to your stories instead of actually experiencing first hand. Glad you made it out alive first time I've watched your channel instant sub. keep up the positivity hope the youth can learn from your experiences so they don't have to go to prison themselves.
I remember seeing a lad getting stabbed in prison when I was 15... And the crazy part is, people were laughing at him... That was 14 years ago and i don't know if he survived
@Life the two lads had beef between them for awhile, one of them broke a piece of metal off the TV in his cell and used it to stab him with it at lunchtime
Love your videos Larry! Came for the content, stayed for the valuable life lessons 😎
Just ran across your channel and I think it’s great that you are educating people on this and maybe people will make better decisions in life to avoid these circumstances
21:05 thank you for holding on and not self-deleting. i appreciate you for existing, regardless of your past or whatever you may have done.
the only thing that would ever change my opinion of you, you haven't done and i think we can all agree on what that something would be.
you have probably saved SO many lives, helped people correct the course of their lives and that also saved them; so what i'm saying... thank you for making it out.
thank you for posting. thank you for being you and doing what you're doing. whether you're aware of it or not, you are literally saving more lives than any prison
has saved by doing what they do by "locking people up to 'correct their behavior'" - no, sometimes they need to hear it from the source. or in worst case scenarios
they need to see it up close and personal.
let's just say one of my close friends used to move things around and it stopped when he saw a close friend of his almost leave the mortal coil from said product.
it changed his life in a matter of 1 hour in 1 day after a few minutes from 1 bag.
the world is already fucked up as bad as it is, and one of my few wishes (as childish as that is being 33+) is that humanity would stop this nonsense bullshit and
just come together already... it's long overdue we drop the divisions but also celebrate them. there's nothing wrong in celebrating differences just as equally as
celebrating the sameness. what this society doesn't seem to understand is that there's a LOT more sameness than there is difference... and those little differences
have caused so much pain, trauma, death, and from what i've witnessed thus far in my short ride on this space dust, this cycle isn't gonna end unless there's nothing
left - meaning another civilization reset, assuming any humans make it out this time around.
Well done video Larry. Your humanity shines. A wise man is keenly aware of his capabilities, both constructive and destructive. Hard to imagine anyone leaving the prison system not being affected by PTSD
Love your videos Larry keep up the good work man.
Another question for you Larry -- Are there any elderly people in prison (over 65)? If so, do the inmates generally leave the old guys alone, or are they not granted any leniency?
I'm wondering that too now.
YOU'RE AN AWESOME MAN SIR!!! Everyone has to deal with bad thoughts and memories, some more severe than others, but the fact that your are talking about it publicly is a great and wonderful thing!!!!!!!!! I KNOW that you will make the right decisions and talk to, and get help from people in your vast support network!!!!!!!! You are committed and devoted to improving yourself and others!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT THIS SIR!!!!!!!!!
I snapped my left arm in half wrestling with friends in 7th grade. I put my arm out to break my fall, and I literally saw, felt and heard both bones in my arm snap, expand out and turn perpendicular to each other. That snap sound had me messed up in the head for years. Slowly got better, but that sound man. It echoed from the inside of my bones to my ear. The movies have that sound wrong. It’s a unique pitch to itself. If I watch a UA-cam video and hear that break. It’s instant cold sweat and wtf. My shirt will literally look like I dunked it in the pool and wore it. It’s not so bad now. But I’m good on the broken bones videos. I’m 36 now. PTSD is a trip. It can be a look, a sound, a smell, someone’s eyes. It’s such a trip to hear what it is that traumatizes people. It’s such unique things you wouldn’t think about. And it doesn’t matter who you are, how tough, how many times you’ve seen something. It’s that one fraction of a second stuck with you for life.
I dont like how im watching worst attacks in prison and i see a commercial for kids health lol
I hope Mr Larry you’re stories will keep people from crossing that bridge…it’s almost impossible to go back
Only just seen your channel for the first time now. Great video.
Hi Larry, this is my first time watching you, not even sure how or why you were in my recommended vids but I’m not complaining. My younger brother has been in and out of prison many times as was my father before he was murdered (not while incarcerated) but I know being locked up has for sure had some long term impact on my brother and he now suffers with some social anxiety, the stigma that comes with being a convicted felon and a host of other difficulties and it’s heartbreaking. I have my own set of issues as most of us do but I just wanted to thank you for your honesty and for being here for others.
You’re book was amazing Larry keep kicking ass!
He is so inspiring about how not to go to prison
picture me with a kodak
Yes, please don't go
They wanna see in a penitentiary
It makes me so sad to hear that you were close to suicide... I'm sure that it wasn't easy. It just proves how strong you really are though. I'm really glad you were able to overcome it and live to tell us these great stories. You have all of our support!
Thank you so much for talking about mental health and being vulnerable. You're awesome.
Honestly, it's good to acknowledge you (or anyone) is capable of great evil, if anything, it's scary when people don't acknowledge their potential for harm.
I've done over 5 years in Alaska back from 1999-2012. Sometimes I will be in a weird situation in prison or watching something crazy happen, and see graphic violence, and I will suddenly wake up from my nightmare so thankful that I gave up drugs and especially alcohol over 12 years ago.
I love bluetoothing my phone to the radio and playing one of your videos on long drives. You make good content.
Thanks again for your videos Larry. Never been inside a joint like only had a few petty things but I changed my life around too it took some time but I'm working and doing the right thing. I completely relate to the gorilla thing you said you had. When I was watching this video I couldn't help but agree with almost everything you said in that regard as it's the same with me as well and I'm like, this guy gets it. It's the same for me - I don't fear death or what's to come and I will face it to the best of my ability with everything I have to this day - but at times before and even to this day sometimes I get in my head and feel like I'm taking it too far - but by talking to someone immediately when that is happening it usually helps 100% nullify those effects - and also agree with being of service and helping someone - I learned in AA to be of service it is one of the 12 steps but also the satisfaction you get from being of service, and that's how I'm able to keep my head on straight and have a simple and structured life today where I have a job and get to be of service and repent for my previous mistakes. That does not make me a bad person for choosing the wrong things, rather I am stronger than before. Thank you again for your videos Larry even though I haven't been in it helps me understand more that I'm on the right path and doing the right thing and I applaud your efforts in reaching out to others with this content.
Love ur attitude dude, took something horrible n got out n educate ppl much love
My guy 👊🏼
Hey
I gotta give it to ya man.....this video is definitely in my top 5 better yet you're sittin in the top 3 sir!!! I appreciate your story very much so thank you for that !!!
Is that frank castle in the thumbnail? I see you are a daredevil enthusiast too
Him and Jay Williams tell the best prison stories
Mr. Lawton, not sure if you've already covered this, but I'd like for you to do a video on prison etiquette. My belief is, guys in prison have better etiquette that some on the outside, but love to hear your feedback.
I broke my leg like that. I know that sound and it gives me chills when I think about it as well.
idk how larry makes someones broken leg funny. “his leg was hanging off the gurney”
I just found your videos and your honesty is inspirational,you really made an impression on me,so thanks for that,you made me take a look at myself and I think I needed that so thank you
The silence is deafening
Love when this guy sees right through some crappy viral video and just goes "you think that's bad? Nah, listen to THIS"
Larry I very much appreciate what you're doing for prison reform
It's unreal what goes on in there
God bless ya Brother
Damn, I don’t watch many utube videos from beginning to end but this was one of them.
Great content Larry, I do the same thing, talk about prison to let people know how bad prison really is, it's not an easy ride as some people try to say, it's a violent lonely place.
Just subscribed.. I've been watching a shit ton of your videos. I done a little time myself over 30 some years ago and do not wish to go back. Glad you're out and doing well God-bless! .. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you. You’ll find out I just keep it real. Glad you are out and never will go back. Same with me. I’ll never go back.
Keeping it real is all you can do.
Interesting video Larry. Thanks for sharing brother!
The fact that you realize that you have the potential to be a monster shows that you are a good man. A good man knows what he is capable of when he is pushed beyond his breaking point and does his best never to put himself in that position. The real monster just reacts and lets the chips fall until he is put down.
Uncle Larry is the 🐐 of story telling he even explains how the screams sounded to a T 😂
All of this is gut wrenching. I often listen to true crime videos and some of the things you said are worse than most of the crimes I heard there (there were few exceptions however) As far as the guy who got his anus cut I can't imagine what he went through (nor do i really want to) As far as the guards doing this to guy's leg this should not go on even in a prison. As far as this ordering person to cough. i really don't see coughing really making a difference in finding out if he is "suitcaseing" something. Before I seen channels like this one I thought that strip search meant you would have to get naked and be patted down and that's it. When I heard of what it actually entails I thought about it as almost a form of rape. the thought that someone would break someone's leg because this person was not coughing loud enough and then after being constantly yield at about it got agitated screams abuse to me. I did expect something like that and it was not surprising for me because by now I know enough society and how it really operates at least more than i did when i was younger. but something like that should never be normalized. people keep telling me that this kind of thing is reality. and i keep telling them that laws of physics are reality as far as things like human society reality is what we make it. and noee of the things you talked about in this video should be ever considered normal. Not even in prison.
Thankfully there are guys like you out there helping the rest of us deal with our experience. It’s PTS I purposely leave the D off because I don’t think it’s a disorder, it just is what it is .
Larry is right about the sounds. When you experience something fucked up you remember the sounds. I saw my brother about rip his leg off on a ATV and his screams were haunting. It’s not a normal type of scream when someone gets fucked up pretty bad.
I hear the story about the anus cutting, then I read the t-shirt.. "bad choices"... Weren't these bad people? just once?
Yes, they were. I meant that as a mostly
Man I am just not cut out for prison. Really makes you appreciate the life you have and aware of your choices. The US prison system is brutal.
First time viewer, really enjoyed your insight brother take care and will be following, 🇨🇦🇺🇲💪
I'm no psychiatrist but I think Larry has some kind of PTSD from witnessing these attacks
he obviously does
Thanx Larry ur a cool dude Glad ur free stay safe stay blessed ! Really enjoy ur vids
thank you for the positive vibes.
Larry is a legend and I'm glad that after prison he changed to a much better person , from a scumbag to the best youtuber one can find
Love your content so much! My fave Prison UA-camr
Just found your channel bro and love the way you tell it like it is. Nice work
I was told by a friend who was in federal prison that prisoners shank their victim in the ass, because it’s not considered attempted murder. They get less of a charge for stabbing them in the ass
Imagine being that guy in the first story. Locked down, screaming bloody murder while someone does that to you. Praying to God someone stops what’s happening, but know help might not be coming. You can’t run, you can’t hide, you probably can’t overpower your attacker, beaten to a bloody pulp, and that’s happening to you. Fuck man. The hopelessness he had to have felt must have been unbearable. Poor bastard… I don’t doubt that those screams haunt this guy. It’s probably a kind of bloodcurdling scream that no civilian will ever hear at all ever in their time, and are lucky to never have to hear it.
another great video Larry 👏🏽👏🏽
Love your videos! Such great stories.
Very interesting man. Enjoy hearing about things that I could never experience. He may have been dangerous in the past but I sincerely believe in his life style now.
Thank you for making this video 👍
I tried looking up the decapitation but there were a few, I didn't know which one it was, you didn't give us any information, what year? location? race of the guy?
Thanks for another great video!
In 2009, I went through jackson. I saw my first crazy story there. I got locked up right outside of Atl. I can relate to this. Doing time in Georgia is a different world
Dude this is my first video of yours I'm hooked your hilarious too
I love this because we call prison "rehabilitation" when it's not. Prison is punishment, usually. We don't even give them a chance at being better people.
Hey Larry, I am a Chicago guy, grew up in the 70's on the Northside and had an early fascination with high end jewelry, diamonds and Rolex mostly. So I guy I met who became my number 1 buyer was a Northside outfit guy who could tell ya some stories. Anyhow, I did 24 years in the joint in Illinois, started behind the wall at the max in Joliet, was in the West House there for about 2 and a half years before I got my custody score lowered and was sent to a different camp. I will most assuredly cosign your statement on a grown man screaming out in terror. It'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Beatings are measured in the amount of blood they drew. They would say "I painted the room with that mother fucker's guts," and they would mean it.
Real talk. For real cause the last couple minutes. Cause the things I've done that I wish I didnt do. Cause man this video, thats real REAL REAL
Larry, i understand. Ive never been in prison but i have been a homeless drug addict and some of the things i saw and some of the things that happened to me during that time have stayed with me and replay in my mind when im having quiet moments of thought. Its really intrusive, it forces its way into your mind and you almost need to physically push it out. I always find myself squeezing my eyes shut and clenching my jaws trying to force the thought out
i knew he was describing that break, i heard it once myself.
When larry lawton cross over cars are checking the left right
Whoa! I really wish high school kids would listen to you!
Such a good story teller
