People asked about what happens with extreme weather when you are in prison. I hope you learn from this. Please don't forget my podcast, "The Real Deal w/Larry Lawton" new shows every Monday and Friday. On all major podcast platforms.
Larry is spot-on about having prisoners fight during a natural disaster! When the California wildfires were destroying thousands of acres, prison administrators asked non-violent inmates if they'd be willing to work on the fire lines cutting back flammable dry vegetation and building "brakes" to keep fires from spreading over the ground in exchange for time off their sentences and financial reimbursement. EVERYONE wanted to help -- it was a great alternative to the monotony of a typical day spent locked up and paid for extras at the canteen!
Natural disaster sure, but he mentions(and it sounds like he was just spitballing, so I wouldn't expect this to be a hill he'd die on in some debate or anything) "I'd let them fight for their freedom"(referencing Ukraine being a warzone) This sounds like a great way to have the world pressing your country for some TERRIBLE war crimes, assuming the idea even works out enough for your nation to be taken seriously afterwards lol Edit: It's very possible I misheard and he only meant "Non-Violent offenders", even if he did it sounds like a fucking disaster just being added to another.
Larry, thanks for sharing. I was in Lee County Jail during the winter. The building was very cold, they had the air conditioning on. Thermal undercloths were $15 for 1 shirt or underpants or $30 for a set
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Unbelievable that stuff like that goes on. I understand it's prison but that is absolutely unnecessary and despicable (I could go on but I'll spare you).
Larry I love these videos. I've been in prison in Saughton Edinburgh Scotland and then I was drafted to one of the most notorious prisons in Scotland - Barlinnie in Glasgow. I'd love to share my stories with you. I appreciate your videos because you are proof that people can change and I'm aiming to be how you are. Respect brother 👍
One evening at FMC Carswell, there was a tornado headed straight for the prison. We immediately got everyone to a safe place then they all joined hands and prayed. The tornado did a 90 degree turn and took out a bank and several other buildings about 2 miles away. Very special thing 😍
Was in FTC Oklahoma in May of 1999 when that F5 tornado went through. Closed the prison down. Had us under the bunks. It was so black outside. Missed us by a bunch. Just got the out skirts. Saw the destruction path on Con Air going to Pennsylvania three days later. Incredible sight. Total destruction. Makes you immediately pray for everyone who had to experience that. Got an average of a million inches of snow at FCI Ft DIx in NJ. Got caught stealing a bunch and had to go about 3000 hours of extra duty than get that shot( Incident report). Lot of shoveling snow brother. They could me the Polish Plow. Seen a lot of people bust the ass. Me too. Great topic. You bring back so many memories. Larrys really good at telling the stories and keep it real about what happens in prison. Those deer had to be big. I bet you miss shoveling the snow. Or think about how you use to do it as a work out. You ever seen anyone jump from buildings in to the snow? Or make snow ice cream? Always interesting and fun to watch. Great video
On average a million inches😂😂😂 i live in the upper peninsula of Michigan now and originally from Pennsylvania it wasnt shiit back there compared to here its willlld. More ice it seemed in Pennsylvania.. That had me dying 😂
Trauma Response is what you're experiencing Larry. Thank you for telling these stories.. I am reminded that I am no alone and things that I experience reminds me that what I feel is legit..
Hey Larry, I spent 20 plus years in prison and your comments about Federal prison is the most realistic example of how it was. I'm off supervised release for five months and I have a great carrier as a truck driver.
Caught up on your podcast in spotify. Man that's some really hard stuff. The way they don't give a damn about the prisoner's conditions and actively torment them by controlling their water supply and heat is inhumane and outrageous. People are supposed to have rights man.
@@tnctbone right and wrong is arbitrary to begin with. Then consider that the majority of prisoners have mental illness, which makes people scared of them. Then consider that most people assume that the police don't arrest people unless there is a good reason. Then consider how people view criminals. Suddenly how they treat people seems pretty humane compared to what the general population sees as moral. In fact I would argue abuse is far easier to deal with than prison itself. The problem is if we dish out punishments to fit the crime rather than utilize prison society has to deal with its dirty problems publicly instead of behind closed doors.
When the government participates in the mistreatment and actual torture of prisoners it makes the authority figures (guards, warden) no better than the worst criminals.
Appreciate you taking the time to record this video. I love your channel and your idea to change lives. I wish you could get to one of my brothers that shall listen to you because they have problems. All the best Larry
I had an MRI not too long ago. i asked my doctor about the anxiety, and prescribed a pill. for me. As long has I kept my eyes closed, I was okay. I opened them up once, and immediately closed them. I was soo glad to that finished.
Larry I’ve always been a lucky guy. The number of opportunities I’ve had to make bad decisions and to get involved with bad guys is basically my entire life. I can’t thank you enough for speaking real about what happens WHEN you get caught. Whenever I get that urge, I can hear your voice keeping me in my skin. You may not know me, but you know me much more than the average guy. Thanks for being real.
We were told "if you're gonna die, do it in your cell" they locked us down and we all felt that compound rumble. 2 hours later, lightning struck the "old Orient" prison behind us. It burnt to the ground. They kept us all locked down for 3 days because the smoke was supposedly a "smoke screen for escape"....just another reason to keep us locked down and prison staff not having to do much.
Exactly!! I'm horrified when I look back at the things I got away with in my "wilder" days. Never EVER doing any of that again -- I still don't understand why that dumb kid wasn't caught and forced to do time.
Man the way Larry talks and explains things really give great imagery and make things so easy to understand I love your videos Larry do you think you could make a video about you reacting to other prisons or jails around the world and comparing them to our prisons and jails I’m not sure if you have done that yet but if you have I would love a link to the video have a great day God bless you
The tornado you saw could’ve been a wedge tornado, that’s when a tornado looks more wide than tall, and usually (not always) wedge tornadoes tend to be really bad
I know what you mean about tornadoes, I've grown up in central Ohio, been through 4 of them. Don't care about how big of a man you are you will go into panic mode!! Glad I survived! Love your videos! 🤟🤟Be safe!
Hey Larry, Can you discuss going on public Assistence after prisoners get out? A former inmate was telling me if you’ve done 10 years or more in prison you can automatically enroll in permanent social security disability and get a check for life because the system assumes you’re unemployable.
My experiences are so similar. Thats cool you mention the deer. I spent my life in and out of LA County Jail, which has very little as far as views go. 1 exception for LA County is if you're in the towers and get to "outdoor" rec in the cages its a nice view in the mornings. 1 time I got busted up in the Redwoods in Mendocino county and out my cell windows I see would huge 4 or 5 point bucks and even a bear here & there. Back to LA County stories, I was in SuperMax out in Castaic and forest fires popped off. They shutdown all civilians based services and sent them home, we missed our store day because of it, but it was kind of cool because the window next to my rack had a view out to the yard. The fires had to have been right outside the yard walls because all off a sudden we just seen a fire fighting plane dump his load so close, O swear it looked like he only cleared the wall by maybe 20ft. It was kind of a cool day, you know something different. When I went to court the next week it was just black and charred everywhere outside the facility
I've had panic disorder for over a decade (since my mid twenties). It is no joke. Over the past year, I had several days where I literally felt like I was suffocating all day. It was horrible. I also have PTSD (and Complex PTSD from repeated abuse), and I'm glad that the panic attacks have gotten better over time (thanks to strong, supportive communities)

@@isaachayman9231 I wonder exactly how miserable a person has to be with their own life to randomly lash out at people in RUclips's comments section (that would be a great topic for a research study lol). Quite pathetic.
You are absolutely right about prison being the best place to be in bad weather- at least in states that really know bad weather. Here in Indiana, as a volunteer in prison, I would sometimes spend a whole day, during which the weather could suddenly turn brutal. Some of the prisons I was going to would be 1-2 hours drive from home, and when the sirens went off the staff would offer to feed me dinner to not drive home- and the offenders I was seeing would urge me stay there and not take a chance.
Hey, I've been thinking about how medical conditions are handled. Specifically with people who have a condition that requires daily medication or regular examinations. Great content, keep it up!
Your stories are so fun to hear about. And you know I was thinking. Some of those in prison. If people just listened to their story and reached out to help them maybe they wouldnt be in prison. Some just need a caring person in their life.
I remember the blizzard of 95 or 96 in new Jersey when I was a kid. The snow was up to the second story window. I was able to slide down from my window to the ground. It was great as a kid. I live in Florida now. I've been here since 97 and when I go visit my mom I have to shovel her driveway that's in a huge incline and is a s shape pattern it sucks so bad but your right Larry shoveling is not easy at all especially when the cold is making you stiff. I feel bad for you having to do it in prison so it's definitely no comparison on what I had to do. Your a tough guy Larry. I like your channel and I like what you do. I always watch your videos. Congratulations on the channel. I've watched you since you started and you've come a long way in such a short time. That's awesome. It gives me inspiration to do better. I've had a lot of trouble in my past and I still struggle with things and it's really hurting my life. I can't seem to beat it. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyways thanks Larry your the best bro. 😀
When I was growing up we had a really bad EF-5 tornado hit our town and it nearly destroyed everything in its path but the prison outside of town didn't have a scratch. Truly is the safest place in a disaster
You wanna see snowstorms? Come to Montreal. You remember that video of the city busses and cop cars sliding downtown in a blizzard? I got to watch that live, from the window of the office I worked at.
In Utah they just keep the AC on year round. During winter you either stay under your wool blanket or you stay moving on the tier. Too cold to sit down and watch a movie
I hear you on the claustrophobia and MRIs. They had to do mine under general anesthesia and even then I had dreams the night before about waking up trapped inside.
15:00 I got a kick out of that, as Larry would say, because in my former city, they have the prison built right next to the suburbs, which is also close to the police station and the university. And last I heard, they're building the new courthouse in the outskirts of the city.
Larry, even though you can't walk on the grass. If you land a grass and flowerbed gig locked up that's one of the best jobs. Those beautiful lawns and flowers are courtesy of hard working inmates. I always remind myself to respect the flowers and lawn at the county jail I look at it as inmate property not state property.
I love watching your videos Larry. Everything you talk about is true. I spent a few days in jail as my attorney was away. Worst experience ever. The food is horrible. Hod bless you.
When you are from Pennsylvania and can relate to the mounds of snow lol. We still get some decent snow but more ice, but it’s apart of living in NEPA. Also the deer are in neighborhoods now pretty much, I see about 12 deer everyday outside my house.
I grew up in far southern Missouri near the Arkansas line...tornadoes are hardly intimidating...we typically would go out on the deck and watch them...in 18 years at my parents house, I think we went to the basement twice. When I lived in Springfield, we had 4 tornadoes in one night on New Years Day.
Hey Larry just came upon your channel gotta say love it brother!!! Also enjoy Jay Williams I believe I heard your name on his channel couple times! Great story’s great commutator
Larry, As someone who fixes phones in prison I can tell you the reason they go down is bad battery backup systems and guards who don’t know how to flip the switch on that or they don’t want to. Every time a big storm happens I’ve got to call at least one facility and walk the captain or shift supervisor or IT or whoever through the process and if they can’t do it I gotta drive my ass down there and since I’m hours away from every facility some phones may not get turned on until the next day. Edit : if multiple facilities are down and there’s only one of me I have to pick and choose and fix whoever’s the most severally impacted first. If the entire facility in one place is down VS losing a single housing unit at the other Im going to go with the biggest problem first.
My uncle was in bay county correctional facility when cat 5 Hurricane Michael came through here in October 2018, after the storm everything was so messed up, (idk about majority) but I know they transferred him to blackwater correctional facility 2 hours away. If I'm not mistaken Bay C.F was actually shut down for a while
You bringing up Ukraine and having prisoners fight for their country reminded me to ask you this: have you ever read about the penal battalions of World War II? There are some interesting story of prisoners fighting for both sides of the world. Germany in particular has some upsetting stories about their penal battalions, especially at the end of the war. One battalion (Dirlewenger Brigade) was composed of truly evil criminals (commanded by an actual child rapist) who were known to be terrifying for civilians, the other battalions were political prisoners who were used for suicide missions at the end of the war. Some interesting but upsetting stuff that I think you'd find interesting.
@@NJSC_Railfan Regarding the sheep that support whatever they are told, mask, vax, Ukraine, more taxes, mores laws more rules more prisons more tyranny more socialism/communism etc
Wartime atrocities can be put at the feet of military commanders who don't sufficiently supervise the soldiers they're responsible for. Every army has its share of Lt. Calleys and My Lai massacres, often because the officer in charge "looked the other way" or actively participated in the abuse and occasionally the murder of of civilians and prisoners!
Katrina was definately a nightmare for prisoners Larry. Did you ever get the chance to participate in any aide effort? I did and I saw firsthand with the help of the news how poor the relief efforts were manage once in Louisiana. Yes, I would rather be in Angola or Toulaine hospital than in Nola during that storm. I have always known my ACES protocol and wandered in flooded areas-including in Katrina's remnants when they reached my home in Georgia. Still I have never pushed my luck.
Hey Larry, 24 and change in Texas. I guess extreme weather depends on where you are. Eastham is about 150 miles north of Galveston and the coast. Outside Trustees, both those who lived inside the fence and those who lived outside worked year-round, rain or shine. About half the population worked in the fields, yes, hoe squads, {google it if you don't know}, and rain meant they wouldn't work so they always prayed for rain, especially during the summer. Unless the power went out, the unit ran pretty much normally. Hurricanes just meant heavy rain and some wind. There was a river about a mile from the unit and I have seen it flood to within a hundred years or so of the fence. Extreme weather to the inmates was the summer heat. Depending on where you lived, if the temp outside was over 100, it could be 115 inside. There was no forced air ventilation, there were exhaust fans on the roof that were supposed to pull fresh air from outside and then out the roof. You could buy a little small fan which helped a little, but not very much. Eastham wouldn't meet Federal standards for ventilation. I'll tell you about the paint fire we had at another time.
Well explain this.. During Hurricane Katrina and for several days afterward, men, women, and children were abandoned at OPP while flood waters rose, electricity was lost, and food and water were cut off. Law enforcement and correctional officers left their posts and left inmates to fend for themselves, many still locked in their cells.
Hi Larry..I suffer from claustrophobia too..taking a shower on most days is very difficult..I get the feeling like I can't breathe..it's overwhelming at times..✌️
Ive thought about the being left in a cell a few times. It's a scary ass thought if everybody just up and leaves and you are stuck there. As someone who gets anxiety when I don't have the freedom to move around and be free, for example being on a plane or stuck in the middle of the seats in a movie theater at times. I can't even imagine how frightening being locked up would be in general. I felt better after watching a lot of these videos knowing inmates get a lot of roaming time and much more freedom than one would initially think, but still a crazy thing to grasp.
I relate to the ptsd claustrophobia, I was commited to an abusive mental health residential facility, now I feel antsy and scared and like I always need to be out of the house, I need to be out and I think that is an effect of being held somewhere against your will for an extended period of time, I was never like that before I went in, I was a homebody, liked to be at home doing my own thing and I just look back like how what that even possible where I am now in this claustrophobia and needing to get out not like oh I need to socialize like I absolutely need to be out of this house
How do you have severe claustrophobic when you’re locked up for 13 years wow I have been fighting my claustrophobic for a very long time just started getting in to a elevator I enjoy watching your videos great story teller keep up the good work be safe Larry

Couldn't agree more!
Could in be more true
" THIS IS THE Pizzeria I BURNED DOWN" lol I spit my drink out.
LOL
Larry is spot-on about having prisoners fight during a natural disaster!
When the California wildfires were destroying thousands of acres, prison administrators asked non-violent inmates if they'd be willing to work on the fire lines cutting back flammable dry vegetation and building "brakes" to keep fires from spreading over the ground in exchange for time off their sentences and financial reimbursement.
EVERYONE wanted to help -- it was a great alternative to the monotony of a typical day spent locked up and paid for extras at the canteen!
Natural disaster sure, but he mentions(and it sounds like he was just spitballing, so I wouldn't expect this to be a hill he'd die on in some debate or anything) "I'd let them fight for their freedom"(referencing Ukraine being a warzone)
This sounds like a great way to have the world pressing your country for some TERRIBLE war crimes, assuming the idea even works out enough for your nation to be taken seriously afterwards lol
Edit: It's very possible I misheard and he only meant "Non-Violent offenders", even if he did it sounds like a fucking disaster just being added to another.

love larry. hope to see this channel revive a little, view numbers haven't been good lately it seems.
I am from NoDak. Every winter has weeks lower than negative 50. My home town, Glenburn, has 1 foot solid ice on the roads. Talk about a wild ride.
I enjoyed the video and enjoy hearing your story.. look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work
Loved this! This was something I'd wondered about forever. One of my favorite videos of yours larry
Love you Larry! Another awesome video, keep up the great work! 💕
Thanks, I appreciate that
You are absolutely right about prison being the best place to be in bad weather- at least in states that really know bad weather. Here in Indiana, as a volunteer in prison, I would sometimes spend a whole day, during which the weather could suddenly turn brutal. Some of the prisons I was going to would be 1-2 hours drive from home, and when the sirens went off the staff would offer to feed me dinner to not drive home- and the offenders I was seeing would urge me stay there and not take a chance.
Larry, you can tell a good story. A natural story teller.
Another great one larry have you considered doing an interview with a guy called Spanian? He was in to crime for most of his life till recently.
Can you email me that please?

All your videos genuinely are another good one.
Hey, I've been thinking about how medical conditions are handled. Specifically with people who have a condition that requires daily medication or regular examinations. Great content, keep it up!
Yeah diabetes comes to mind
Great Vid as usual Larry!
Thank you
Your stories are so fun to hear about. And you know I was thinking. Some of those in prison. If people just listened to their story and reached out to help them maybe they wouldnt be in prison. Some just need a caring person in their life.
I remember the blizzard of 95 or 96 in new Jersey when I was a kid. The snow was up to the second story window. I was able to slide down from my window to the ground. It was great as a kid. I live in Florida now. I've been here since 97 and when I go visit my mom I have to shovel her driveway that's in a huge incline and is a s shape pattern it sucks so bad but your right Larry shoveling is not easy at all especially when the cold is making you stiff. I feel bad for you having to do it in prison so it's definitely no comparison on what I had to do. Your a tough guy Larry. I like your channel and I like what you do. I always watch your videos. Congratulations on the channel. I've watched you since you started and you've come a long way in such a short time. That's awesome. It gives me inspiration to do better. I've had a lot of trouble in my past and I still struggle with things and it's really hurting my life. I can't seem to beat it. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyways thanks Larry your the best bro. 😀
In areas like that you know the joy of shoveling snow you've already shoveled so that you have a place to put the snow you're about to shovel.
When I was growing up we had a really bad EF-5 tornado hit our town and it nearly destroyed everything in its path but the prison outside of town didn't have a scratch. Truly is the safest place in a disaster
You wanna see snowstorms? Come to Montreal. You remember that video of the city busses and cop cars sliding downtown in a blizzard? I got to watch that live, from the window of the office I worked at.
Interesting video Larry. I've never heard anyone talk about this topic before.
Hey Larry, I think what you are doing is great for people
In Utah they just keep the AC on year round. During winter you either stay under your wool blanket or you stay moving on the tier. Too cold to sit down and watch a movie
What you mean Larry, every video is a good one to me. Keep up with what you're doing. Greetings from Malaysia
Not something I’ve thought about, can’t wait to watch it and find out!
sent larry a message about the katrina proper people video so happy to see this video
“ Ain’t doing it today that’s why I live in Florida” had me dying lol 😂
I hear you on the claustrophobia and MRIs. They had to do mine under general anesthesia and even then I had dreams the night before about waking up trapped inside.
15:00 I got a kick out of that, as Larry would say, because in my former city, they have the prison built right next to the suburbs, which is also close to the police station and the university. And last I heard, they're building the new courthouse in the outskirts of the city.
Larry, even though you can't walk on the grass. If you land a grass and flowerbed gig locked up that's one of the best jobs. Those beautiful lawns and flowers are courtesy of hard working inmates. I always remind myself to respect the flowers and lawn at the county jail I look at it as inmate property not state property.
Hey Larry what’s some prison remedy’s that y’all would do for a common chest cold or just a sickness in general
I love watching your videos Larry. Everything you talk about is true. I spent a few days in jail as my attorney was away. Worst experience ever. The food is horrible. Hod bless you.
Love your content Larry, can’t wait for the next vid.
Keep up the great work Larry!
Massive vehicle pileup in those exact Pennsylvania mountains yesterday. A number of casualties.
Super interesting question I never even considered! Great video!
I never thought of what happens during extreme weather in prisons. I do watch RUclips videos about people's experience doing time. Good video.
When you are from Pennsylvania and can relate to the mounds of snow lol. We still get some decent snow but more ice, but it’s apart of living in NEPA. Also the deer are in neighborhoods now pretty much, I see about 12 deer everyday outside my house.
I grew up in far southern Missouri near the Arkansas line...tornadoes are hardly intimidating...we typically would go out on the deck and watch them...in 18 years at my parents house, I think we went to the basement twice. When I lived in Springfield, we had 4 tornadoes in one night on New Years Day.
Hey Larry just came upon your channel gotta say love it brother!!! Also enjoy Jay Williams I believe I heard your name on his channel couple times! Great story’s great commutator
The G.O.A.T has uploaded!!
And as a big nerd when it comes to weather, I especially love this video! 😎💯
Larry, As someone who fixes phones in prison I can tell you the reason they go down is bad battery backup systems and guards who don’t know how to flip the switch on that or they don’t want to. Every time a big storm happens I’ve got to call at least one facility and walk the captain or shift supervisor or IT or whoever through the process and if they can’t do it I gotta drive my ass down there and since I’m hours away from every facility some phones may not get turned on until the next day.
Edit : if multiple facilities are down and there’s only one of me I have to pick and choose and fix whoever’s the most severally impacted first. If the entire facility in one place is down VS losing a single housing unit at the other Im going to go with the biggest problem first.
I swear RUclips knows everything! The moment Larry started talking about MRIs a ad for Albany med popped up !
My uncle was in bay county correctional facility when cat 5 Hurricane Michael came through here in October 2018, after the storm everything was so messed up, (idk about majority) but I know they transferred him to blackwater correctional facility 2 hours away.
If I'm not mistaken Bay C.F was actually shut down for a while
You bringing up Ukraine and having prisoners fight for their country reminded me to ask you this: have you ever read about the penal battalions of World War II? There are some interesting story of prisoners fighting for both sides of the world. Germany in particular has some upsetting stories about their penal battalions, especially at the end of the war. One battalion (Dirlewenger Brigade) was composed of truly evil criminals (commanded by an actual child rapist) who were known to be terrifying for civilians, the other battalions were political prisoners who were used for suicide missions at the end of the war. Some interesting but upsetting stuff that I think you'd find interesting.
''I support the current thing'' whatever it is, does not matter if I know the truth or facts just tell me what to support! Merica! WOOOOOOOOO
@@NoNORADon911 who are you even talking to?
@@NJSC_Railfan Regarding the sheep that support whatever they are told, mask, vax, Ukraine, more taxes, mores laws more rules more prisons more tyranny more socialism/communism etc
Wartime atrocities can be put at the feet of military commanders who don't sufficiently supervise the soldiers they're responsible for. Every army has its share of Lt. Calleys and My Lai massacres, often because the officer in charge "looked the other way" or actively participated in the abuse and occasionally the murder of of civilians and prisoners!
@@NoNORADon911 ok calm down buddy this isn't OAN
Larry. Thank u. Great podcast.
Katrina was definately a nightmare for prisoners Larry. Did you ever get the chance to participate in any aide effort? I did and I saw firsthand with the help of the news how poor the relief efforts were manage once in Louisiana. Yes, I would rather be in Angola or Toulaine hospital than in Nola during that storm. I have always known my ACES protocol and wandered in flooded areas-including in Katrina's remnants when they reached my home in Georgia. Still I have never pushed my luck.
The amateur meteorologist/prison reformist part of your community appreciates you!
Hey Larry, 24 and change in Texas. I guess extreme weather depends on where you are. Eastham is about 150 miles north of Galveston and the coast. Outside Trustees, both those who lived inside the fence and those who lived outside worked year-round, rain or shine. About half the population worked in the fields, yes, hoe squads, {google it if you don't know}, and rain meant they wouldn't work so they always prayed for rain, especially during the summer. Unless the power went out, the unit ran pretty much normally. Hurricanes just meant heavy rain and some wind. There was a river about a mile from the unit and I have seen it flood to within a hundred years or so of the fence. Extreme weather to the inmates was the summer heat. Depending on where you lived, if the temp outside was over 100, it could be 115 inside. There was no forced air ventilation, there were exhaust fans on the roof that were supposed to pull fresh air from outside and then out the roof. You could buy a little small fan which helped a little, but not very much. Eastham wouldn't meet Federal standards for ventilation. I'll tell you about the paint fire we had at another time.
Well explain this.. During Hurricane Katrina and for several days afterward, men, women, and children were abandoned at OPP while flood waters rose, electricity was lost, and food and water were cut off. Law enforcement and correctional officers left their posts and left inmates to fend for themselves, many still locked in their cells.
Hi Larry..I suffer from claustrophobia too..taking a shower on most days is very difficult..I get the feeling like I can't breathe..it's overwhelming at times..✌️
Ive thought about the being left in a cell a few times. It's a scary ass thought if everybody just up and leaves and you are stuck there. As someone who gets anxiety when I don't have the freedom to move around and be free, for example being on a plane or stuck in the middle of the seats in a movie theater at times. I can't even imagine how frightening being locked up would be in general. I felt better after watching a lot of these videos knowing inmates get a lot of roaming time and much more freedom than one would initially think, but still a crazy thing to grasp.
On subject of climate, do any guards or systems even care if a hot environment inmate is not used to a cold climate or reverse? Assuming no
They don't give a flying fuck. In fact, if they know it hurts you they will do it on purpose.
haha when i was in jail they had the A/C BLASTING all night long. It had to be about 40 degrees at the most! It was freezing
I am from Arkansas and I remember the tornadoes in 07. First ones I seen in person as well!
I relate to the ptsd claustrophobia, I was commited to an abusive mental health residential facility, now I feel antsy and scared and like I always need to be out of the house, I need to be out and I think that is an effect of being held somewhere against your will for an extended period of time,
I was never like that before I went in, I was a homebody, liked to be at home doing my own thing and I just look back like how what that even possible where I am now in this claustrophobia and needing to get out not like oh I need to socialize like I absolutely need to be out of this house
Larry l love you wearing a t-shirt of a pizza joint you burnt down lmao 🤣
2 foot high snow moves pretty early when it’s dry but in the early Spring it’s like wet cement.
How do you have severe claustrophobic when you’re locked up for 13 years wow I have been fighting my claustrophobic for a very long time just started getting in to a elevator I enjoy watching your videos great story teller keep up the good work be safe Larry
Intresting stuff. Thanks for the video.
Awesome videos from a very wise man good job
I live in New Hampshire. Wife was talking about moving to Texas. I said "Honey I can shovel snow, I can't shovel a tornado".
You should do an interview with a former inmate who was there for hurricane Katrina stuck inside the prison that got abandoned.
