I just found this channel and I was mesmerized by the way how Mr. Lawton tells stories. You can feel he is real as it can be. Excellent channel and content!
Mr. Lawton, thank you for sharing your stories. I've been researching prison for three years. Its a brutal reality that many don't know. Its people like you that show even in the darkest of places, there is light.
Jukka Heikkinen Tons of saints had awful pasts and turned it around and still were the best of the best people. So I think your thinking is very closed minded.
I believe that having a good memory is part of having a high IQ. You remember all the things that you were taught. As for me, my IQ came out to 70 ! I have a hell of a time remembering things I learned in the past ....... yesterday ! So for me to go to prison, one day and I would be dead.
I mean, it's normal. I do remember stuff happened when i was 3yo yet i do not remember everything that happened yesterday. Why? Because when i was 3yo i had a really bad moment, but yesterday what happened? Nothing special. Do i really need to explain this? No, Ross in Ontario, you do no need to be intelligent to remember stuff happened a long time ago, no Grinch 3255, you do not need to invent stories to- err- you... i mean, it's totally possible to remember stuff happened 20 years ago.
This is first time I've ever come across your channel and I enjoyed watching you and listening to your story. I think it's a wonderful thing you're doing to preach the message to stay out of prison. Way to go Larry, and Good luck to you. ❤

If they have felony charges, they will never get a job again. So crime is their only option when they get out.

Larry, good stuff bud. My uncle spent 20 years in prison for self defense (kill or be killed). A great man with a heart of gold. He was a hard dude but prison did it deed on him. He didn’t deserve it. You fighting for other inmates worthy of it is so commendable. Just big thanks.🙏

@@mnrsteeljoutafel you probably could, at least theoretically. Get some Clockwork Orange style brainwashing shit going and combine it with heavy medication and neurosurgery and you can basically do whatever you want with people's behavior.
@Great Awakening you really are ignorant arent you? You didn't do a single google search to find out the problem is well known and wide spread? Do you just have this idyllic idea in your head of "due process" (which doesnt mean what you seem to think it means, by the way) and reject reality? I'd like to know what you define as "many." Maybe you should listen to the channel you're watching and not be an ignorant douchebag.
My favorite uncle did time. He is a good storyteller, too, remembers a lot and uses emphatic body gestures and loud voice when he gets to the juicy stuff. He was a bartender so his gift of gab reminds me of LL, too. Every time I see him, he bends down towards me and softly asks, "And how are you doing?" I fucking love him. Also, I trust this uncle because he gets really soft and concerned when he askes me about how my Mom is doing with serious health issues. Larry's right, bad choices doesn't make a person bad or irredeemable - except for rapists, women beaters, and chomos, of course.
I think Larry has this much success because he is a good story teller. History videos, funny moments and so on you kind of have to actualy watch but if you just leave your phone on the table and do something else with your (in best case Bluetooth) headphones still on you dont realy miss much. Keep this video style as your primary video format and you will have a lot of success.
Larry is a prime example on how to actively tell a story. His hands, arms, face and eyemovements is star-material. And when he randomly pulled out that towel to wipe off his forehead, I started choking on my popcorn.
Larry I just started watching your videos. I appreciate the time and effort you put in the information of the system it blows my mind how wild things are inside and outside the system

Larry said he had a “unlikely” goal of hitting a million subs this year. I thought it probably wouldn’t happen but he got another 100k since his last video 😂😂 good job my dude
Yeah I think his GTA V video made his channel blow up like crazy. I watched it, and then watched a bunch of Larry's other videos and got hooked, because you don't have access to these kind of stories at the snap of a finger from someone who can tell these stories like Larry does, especially since he never forgets anything. :)

Hi Larry 😀I’ve messaged you before,you are a great podcast entertainer. You are giving so much to x inmates and to those who are beginning to make bad choices. I believe you can save many individuals who are about to make mistakes. God bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your story about surviving abuse. Not enough men are represented as survivors. A strong masculine man saying with pride that he is an abuse survivor too is very powerful. Love to you.
@V2ube i got good news for you! He actually *has* a podcast. You should look for it in some other video description if this one doesn't have it. On Spotify and Apple Podcasts ofcourse.
@@brandon_dammers I think his podcast was actually reading his book word for word. These videos are based on the same book, but they are more about telling a story rather than reading the story. But I may be wrong, I haven't actually listened to his podcast yet, which I should.
If youguys want to find his podcast check out his channel (if you are on phone) then go to "about" and scroll down to where you can see the channel views. There should be links for podcast on iTunes and Spotify.

@@johnsonzelop4259 not that easy. You could be falsely accused of a serious crime or it could be something stupid like when a guy was sentenced for simply being with the suspect at the scene of a murder (even though he didn’t have a weapon and didn’t attack the victim).

Jesus. The way you described that Atlanta prison was insane. The DOJ recently ruled that that prison’s practices were unconstitutional and it’s being massively protested. Absolutely crazy that it took this long for anything to be done about it.
Larry, you have an interesting history. Obviously been through a lot of bad mojo, unlike myself. Glad you are now on UA-cam rather than where you have been. Best to you.
Larry, I am so sorry about what happened to you. I was also sexually assaulted and raped. I am going to grad school for Forensic Psychology to help victims of sexual abuse and other traumas. Thank you for your videos and your honesty.
I have a lot of respect for people who take your path. I was raped and molested by my school principal when I was 10 years old. As I am also disabled, the cops had zero interest in arresting the perp, instead I was stuffed into the back of a city squad car and driven by two jackboots nearly 250 miles to a state run group home, and held there for 90 days, during which I saw three other group home, well, inmates is a good word, people who are locked up for the unthinkable crime of being born with the wrong genetics, I saw three people die from abuse. Meanwhile, the perp's other victims, also disabled kids, were shunted into other group homes, and the perp fled the state and has never been dealt with. Think about that a minute. After months of being raped and molested, I tell my folks, we go to the police. My dad makes the mistake of mentioning I am disabled, and the cops laugh and say Autisitc people are scum, we do not know right from wrong, and told us they would absolutely not do anything. Then dad takes me to a doctor, who gives us a written order for me not to return to school and performs an evaluation and diagnoses me with PTSD. Then the cops show up at our door every single school day demanding to see that paperwork every day. Then one day the cops push my mom down, enter our home, no warrant, no nothing, come to my room, pick me up, tape my mouth, and throw me into the back of the squad car and drive nearly 250 miles out of jurisdiction, telling me that this is what happens to "Retarded kids who don't keep their mouths shut". Then see other disabled kids beaten to death, saw one get his skull cracked open on a brick wall once. I still have nightmares every night about this. I still can't trust people, and have absolutely zero faith in any people, especially the police and the justice system. I don't hate cops. I just don't trust them at all and I think they are inherently bad people. Weather bad before becoming cops, or bad because they became cops, I don't know, but the end result is the same. I'm still on my path of recovery obviously. It is a very long road. I am very glad to hear you're helping others along their path to recovery. I hope helping others is also helping you too.
@@modelrailpreservation I am so very sorry about what happened to you. It was not fair nor your fault. I hope that you find peace & happiness in this world at some point; it's there, but hard to find. God bless you.

@My Name 100%. I’ve been trying to get people to see that for YEARS now. That’s why they’re so divisive. Black vs white. Men vs women. Vaxed vs unvaccinated. Dem vs Republican. Us vs them. All to keep us from seeing the real fight - us vs the “elites.”
Yup
@@markcollins2666 Typical response from someone who hasn't a clue. After all, what do I know from working there. Lol
Larry, good stuff bud. My uncle spent 20 years in prison for self defense (kill or be killed). A great man with a heart of gold. He was a hard dude but prison did it deed on him. He didn’t deserve it. You fighting for other inmates worthy of it is so commendable. Just big thanks.🙏

I think Larry has this much success because he is a good story teller. History videos, funny moments and so on you kind of have to actualy watch but if you just leave your phone on the table and do something else with your (in best case Bluetooth) headphones still on you dont realy miss much.
Keep this video style as your primary video format and you will have a lot of success.

"The Head of the Aryan Circle. Good dude!"
I get what you're saying but out-of-context it's kinda hillarious

Good dude meaning he had respect and was not a jerk because he had power.
Well the Aryan guy settled things fine with the black gangs without any bloodshed. So those gangs must have some sort of respect for each other despite their differences. But i see what you mean lmfao

Larry said he had a “unlikely” goal of hitting a million subs this year. I thought it probably wouldn’t happen but he got another 100k since his last video 😂😂 good job my dude
Yeah I think his GTA V video made his channel blow up like crazy. I watched it, and then watched a bunch of Larry's other videos and got hooked, because you don't have access to these kind of stories at the snap of a finger from someone who can tell these stories like Larry does, especially since he never forgets anything. :)

Larry, I am so sorry about what happened to you. I was also sexually assaulted and raped. I am going to grad school for Forensic Psychology to help victims of sexual abuse and other traumas. Thank you for your videos and your honesty.
may you see justice maam
I'm studying forensic too
Hope you're doing better and keep people getting better.
I have a lot of respect for people who take your path. I was raped and molested by my school principal when I was 10 years old. As I am also disabled, the cops had zero interest in arresting the perp, instead I was stuffed into the back of a city squad car and driven by two jackboots nearly 250 miles to a state run group home, and held there for 90 days, during which I saw three other group home, well, inmates is a good word, people who are locked up for the unthinkable crime of being born with the wrong genetics, I saw three people die from abuse. Meanwhile, the perp's other victims, also disabled kids, were shunted into other group homes, and the perp fled the state and has never been dealt with. Think about that a minute. After months of being raped and molested, I tell my folks, we go to the police. My dad makes the mistake of mentioning I am disabled, and the cops laugh and say Autisitc people are scum, we do not know right from wrong, and told us they would absolutely not do anything. Then dad takes me to a doctor, who gives us a written order for me not to return to school and performs an evaluation and diagnoses me with PTSD. Then the cops show up at our door every single school day demanding to see that paperwork every day. Then one day the cops push my mom down, enter our home, no warrant, no nothing, come to my room, pick me up, tape my mouth, and throw me into the back of the squad car and drive nearly 250 miles out of jurisdiction, telling me that this is what happens to "Retarded kids who don't keep their mouths shut". Then see other disabled kids beaten to death, saw one get his skull cracked open on a brick wall once. I still have nightmares every night about this. I still can't trust people, and have absolutely zero faith in any people, especially the police and the justice system. I don't hate cops. I just don't trust them at all and I think they are inherently bad people. Weather bad before becoming cops, or bad because they became cops, I don't know, but the end result is the same. I'm still on my path of recovery obviously. It is a very long road. I am very glad to hear you're helping others along their path to recovery. I hope helping others is also helping you too.
