Larry like you I used to be a career criminal but I was only accused of one crime I got 15 years for it and It’s nice that there’s someone I can relate to
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Would you agree most people do not learn from prison? Like that Prison makes people who go there become worse but mainly out of touch with the world.
@@damianvandenhaak Don't forget that there's a huge stigma against people who have been in prison, not only in the US It's often very difficult, if not impossible, for them to get an education and/or job. And if you have pretty much no chance on the outside, why would you care about robbing/stealing/dealing drugs etc again. Worst case scenario, you go back in to what you're used to for the past few years.
Larry is that one uncle you see in family gatherings that everyone thinks he's crazy, but the children of the family always likes to listen to him speaking about he's stories 😂
@@medicatedchase7 thank you Larry for putting the word out, for the kids to here from the wolf mouth..ok. God bless you larry ..I've been there,Pina. Con
Kids go to school for real..Pina , theirs plenty of doors open for the kid's and the next generation. Please kids go to school..Thankfully Pina lov always, Young mothers to..
I can sit and watch your stories for hours on end, they're brilliant. You may have been a criminal, but you turned into an inspiration in a sense, not like.. inspiring to be a criminal, but inspiring people to steer away and hopefully motivating people to steer away from anything that can give you the life you went through. I hope this made sense.
Hey Larry,. U be the man most rooms U walk into, buzz me brother and I will tell you about Melbourne Australia, from 96, to 2001 I got out 7th, watching the plain hitting, on the 11 I was smacked out my brain, thought it was a movie! Can you call me?
This man's actually smarter than most men or women I've ever listened to. He studied law and his knowledge on this kid Rittenhouse's case impressed tf outta me. He changed my whole outlook on that case. Idk if the jury came back with a verdict yet. But his knowledge (nmw I believe about the young kids actions) I would hafta agree with LL. Kid might get off.
@@davidwhatley5711 I heard in Australia you can murder and the judge/jury will only sentence you to at most 20, AND ON YOUR 1ST FRIGGING PAROLE HEARING, you get paroled with 7 yrs on good behavior. Then again I also hear there's not many majorly violent crimes in Australia and the country of New Zealand. I didn't hear this on TV or Internet. I made a friend on fb from Auckland NZ. She was such a good friend. Forgive me if I'm incorrect. I'm not from there.
If you would of told me that the biggest jewel thief in America would somehow be so wholesome and welcoming I wouldn't have believed you but now I just can't help but smile at how wrong I would've been. These videos are brilliant
Thanks Ben, I appreciate that and your supoort., what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I do have some mental issues I am sure. RUclips helps me release my inner self. Thanks for being a fan.
You are a keeper Larry 😊 Admittedly sharing your wrongs, rights, ups, downs and journey 💪 to communicate information so useful 👍 Telling the facts & grimy stories that NEED TO BE HEARD THANKS!
I bet you didn’t think 20-30 years ago you’d be talking to a camera, divulging all your stories. Crazy how life changes hey. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
DAVIDAK04 - I’ve read and understand the constitution. That’s not what I’m getting at. I’m talking about giving the whole system the silent treatment. Not just failing to incriminate yourself. I’m referring to total mute.
Larry I just wanted to let you know ur one of my biggest escapes from life, when ever I’m done I watch one of ur videos and u give me hope knowing that u could get through hell on earth, it makes me feel like I can get through my life’s problems. I just want to thank you
My son and I love listening to your videos! He asks to listen to “one video please”. You are one hell of a storyteller and I catch myself listening to you for hours a day. Stay Blessed 🥰
Hearing these stories really breaks my heart thinking about all the nameless suffering going on there. Thank you so much for standing up for them. Can't support you financially but still really appreciate the good you do
Hey Larry, greetings from Finland! I'm very fascinated by the prison culture in the States. It's very different here - Finland focuses on rehabilitation. Yes, they take your freedom away from you, but that's the punishment. They don't make your life hell inside. There are lots of programs to help inmates reintegrate to society. That's why we have very low reoffender rates.
Hey Larry, I just want to thank you for your work! I dont even know why youtube recomended your videos,but i really appreciate that,because I love your videos and stories! I lot of love and admiration from Brazil !!!
Ive been watching for about 4 months now and I am fascinated by your story and all your videos. Love the fact that you both make people laugh as weel as spready awareness and positivity. Keep up the videos!
Man larry I just have to say I've never been more intrested in this stuff I've always had an interest but when I found you holy cow it was awesome to hear about your stories and the message you spread of positivity
Larry is genuinely one of my favorite people on the planet, he used to be a criminal, but even then he was a good man, he never hurt anyone and always tried to avoid trauma and now he's doing an extremely good job advocating for good yet ignored causes, if I'll ever in the position to afford donating I'll give some to him (and animal shelters)
Larry, I have great respect for you. You made some bad decisions in life, but most importantly, you came back, and turned your life around. Now you use your knowledge to help others. To say you’ve been a lot would be an understatement. Keep going and go get the justice you deserve!
Larry, you are a gifted speaker- I stumbled upon your channel by accident, but since then I’ve non stopped been watching and have been a huge fan since! Your videos are very entertaining, educational, and teach incredible life skills and lessons to people everywhere. You are a perfect example of your saying “ I don’t believe in bad people, I believe in bad choices.” It’s amazing and remarkably inspiring to hear your story , and life- and the unimaginable horrible challenges and scenarios a ton of people will never have to face. I struggle with addiction, and your videos serve as therapy and a tool to keep a good mindset to remain steady to avoid having to go through your past experiences. I’m buying a hoodie to support!! Subscribed, and like and share your videos. It’s not much, but I wish I can do more. You tell it like it is, and have made a great life, and impact viewers like me. It gives me that fire in my belly that if Larry can do it, I can get through this! I support you all the way, and hope you see this comment. Nothing but love, respect, good wishes, stay healthy, and keep using your gifts. You are a gifted individual. Keep making videos Larry!!! Shout out from Long Island N.Y!!!!👍👍👍👍

thank you for being an example of what the prison system should do to people while incarcerated, rehabilitate not make them worse like they do. i love your work man and i really enjoy the videos. keep grinding 🔥
Damn, your stories are amazing, it gives such a unique experience on how prison actually is, unlike the media where the guards tell you what they want to.
I have been watching your programs and found them interesting and at times horrifying. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Best of luck with your future endeavours.
Someone needs to tell this man how strong of a person he is I have so much respect for this man he has been thru so much shit and is still seeming to be a great guy
I don't even know how youtube got me here but this was an interesting video that I couldn't stop watching, and I'm sorry about all the crazy stuff you went through. The system needs insanely huge reform.
We need prisons that truly give people a chance and give them hope and respect. What we have now are institutions that spit people out in worse mental shape than when they went in. Just how does that help our society? What's the point?
Been watching your stuff for a while and really loving it, man. You’ve gotten me into fighting for prison reform as well. Keep on keeping on and fighting the system. Love and respect from Terre Haute, Indiana ❤️
we all have our own experiences, they make us who we are. unless you're ashamed about who you are there's no reason to feel regret over how shit played out, cause you're still around to learn from it.
Fully support a movement for prison reform and banning private prisons. Thank you for doing this Larry. You’re made to make, it glad you’re putting your all into GOOD.
I can just sit here all day and watch his stories. You are so inspirational and your story is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see all the lives of people that you’ve changed. I’ve been following you for a while now Larry, I hope to one day meet you. Keep it up man!
I passed through USP Atlanta in 1999 for two weeks in the transfer spot. Worst place I ever been. Hung the phone up on me several times after only a few minutes. Watched me take showers right up on me with 5 others showering at the same time. Took my books for not going on rec while I was sleeping. You do not have to go to rec. Hell, most of the time they dont wanna take you. Place was shit. Cool wall though. Couldnt image having to do a bid there. Glad you made it out Larry and able to tell these stories. Those beatings had to change you and the anger and rage from it most be some kind of bad. Always interesting to watch. Great video
Hey Larry, I just wanted to say how entertaining and how cool your videos are, and how much of a great you tuber you are, and how inspiring it is that you were able to turn your life around, while still making changes and helping people. Keep up the great content!
Hey Larry! You should do a video on all the different levels of prisons. It would be super interesting. And would Guantanamo Bay be considered a Super Max?
In the beginning even though it’s subtle you can tell that Larry is angry about how corrupt the prison system can be because physical abuse should be used against no one, criminal or not
Hello Larry. I discovered your videos a while ago and i think it’s very insightful. i wish more people would see these videos to see the reality of prison. i am aware of other people on youtube that explain what life was like in prison but i still think you’re the smartest and most experienced out of all of them (not like it’s a competition). as a 17 year old, ive become completely invested into your channel and hope you come out with more videos you love to make. have a good one Larry.
I have seen it. It is absolutely amazing. He asks some inmates what would happen if he found himself inside on some minor charge (it's a county jail, but a huge one) and they didn't hold back at all.
Great video Larry! I just finished The Gangster Redemption -book and I have to say that it was quite a thrill altough I had already seen all your videos! Keep on doing good work!
Hey Larry! I've been watching your videos a good bit recently and I really, really respect what you do. It takes a strong man to not only learn from his mistakes, but use his mistakes as a teaching tool for others, especially young people who ate at a high risk of ending up in prison. A buddy of mine got out of a max security not too long ago, basically his ex cheated on him with another dude in his own bed,, he got pissed off (rightfully so) and he took back the PlayStation and such that he gave her and she had him charged with grand theft because the value was over $400. He got nine months for that charge, but unfortunately because he was a younger guy who had a bit of a past? He ended up in a maximum security prison, don't know which one, but I know it was here in NC. I can't say I condone his actions, and that he should have been held accountable, but I understand on a human level why he did it, if it were my girlfriend? I'd be pissed off too and probably do something stupid, just maybe not to that degree. But one of the stories he told me was definitely something you'd hear about in a max security. He told me he was sitting in the mess hall having lunch, and this young guy who was cocky and trying to act all tough took someone else's seat...well, the seat he took was that of an older guy in his 50s with multiple life sentences. Guess it wasn't the first time this kid tried to pull this because he clearly had enough of this young punk disrespecting him. He walked up to him while he was in his seat, and suddenly produced a creepy grin on his face. He left the mess hall for a second, came back with a shank made from a glass shard, and within five seconds slit this guy's throat from ear to ear and got the hell out of there. The guards started calling "lockdown, lockdown! Everyone back to your cells now!", beat his ass, and threw him in the hole for three days. At first I'm like "are you serious? That's all they did to him?" but then it hit me. This was an older guy with multiple life sentences who had a reputation of being a convict, but a convict who took no shit from punks like that. What's the worst they could do to him? Give him another life sentence? He's never getting out unless he's in a body bag. Don't screw with lifers because they have nothing to lose when someone disrespects them or pisses them off. Anyways, I'd like to request a specific historical prison event if you think you have the time to cover it, it's one that really really pushed prison reform into the spotlight. The 1980 New Mexico State Penitentiary Riots, I read some of the stories and they're truly horrific and disturbing (like rats/snitches and pedos being slowly tortured and burned alive with acetylene blow torches...), but I would love to hear your thoughts on this event, how it came to be, and what happens when the conditions in prison are so bad they're intolerable and convicts have had enough, and I think 1980 New Mexico shows what can happen and how bad it can get when the system is abusive if not sadistic. I also wanted to ask if you ever met anyone who was there when shit was hitting the fan, or perhaps even involved in those riots. Thank you for all the good work you do! Need to join the action crew one of these days.
Hey Larry, looks like another great day to watch one of your excellent instructional videos. Thanks again bro for all the tremendous effort and amount of work you put into your shows. Have a wonderful day Larry. Jimmy.
I'm glad to see you as a free man Larry! My son went to prison at 18 to serve out a 24 year sentence.He is 12 years into it.Larry it crushed me.Anyway I would love it if you tell a bit about what it does to your family when you go in and how hard the visits are.
@@wynndoesthings8662 The answer to your question is no. Most COs receive training during the academy on 12 gauge shotguns and 5.56 AR rifles, but this is in case of special circumstances or posting in a tower, which is very hard to get. Almost universally, COs carry a 4oz can of OC spray, a radio, a pair of handcuffs without a key except for certain officers, latex gloves and a CPR mask. Some will go the extra mile and carry a small flashlight that is required to be under six inches and 1.5 ounces in weight. Depending on the housing unit you work, you might carry extra handcuffs, shackles and a pair of medical shears to cut down bodies. If you are qualified for an outcount, where you are escorting an offender outside of the prison grounds, you are issued a pistol and potentially a shotgun for the duration.
My pops is in prison and I haven’t been able to see him in months due to the virus. You remind me of him though and some of the stories you tell makes me worry about him even more than I already do lol you also give me hope that someday I’ll get to see him again. Much respect and love to you Larry. Stay safe and keep the videos coming! Thank you!
I really enjoy your videos Larry. Thank you for sharing your experiences brotherman. I have a lot of respect for you and you trying to show ppl they don’t want to go there. Keep it up and I’ll be buying your book soon. Take care

I can just sit here all day and watch his stories. You are so inspirational and your story is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see all the lives of people that you’ve changed. I’ve been following you for a while now Larry, I hope to one day meet you. Keep it up man!
Love you stories Larry, Hope you're well.
I am, thanks, hope you are well as well.
I passed through USP Atlanta in 1999 for two weeks in the transfer spot. Worst place I ever been. Hung the phone up on me several times after only a few minutes. Watched me take showers right up on me with 5 others showering at the same time. Took my books for not going on rec while I was sleeping. You do not have to go to rec. Hell, most of the time they dont wanna take you. Place was shit. Cool wall though. Couldnt image having to do a bid there. Glad you made it out Larry and able to tell these stories. Those beatings had to change you and the anger and rage from it most be some kind of bad. Always interesting to watch. Great video
Hey Larry, I just wanted to say how entertaining and how cool your videos are, and how much of a great you tuber you are, and how inspiring it is that you were able to turn your life around, while still making changes and helping people. Keep up the great content!
Thanks Josh, that means a lot
I'm a simple man I see a larry Lawton video I sit here and watch it, keep up the content Larry love these stories
Thanks Keven, I appreciate your support
Hey Larry! You should do a video on all the different levels of prisons. It would be super interesting. And would Guantanamo Bay be considered a Super Max?
That is a military prison
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief ok so I suppose it doesn't fall under the same naming system for the security level then. Thanks Larry!
Larry is just a good guy thank you Larry lawton for providing words of encouragement that seeds and grows throughout our lives
I'm happy you survived Larry! Keep spreading your message.
Learning so much about prison life. Thank you for making these videos!
In the beginning even though it’s subtle you can tell that Larry is angry about how corrupt the prison system can be because physical abuse should be used against no one, criminal or not
Hello Larry. I discovered your videos a while ago and i think it’s very insightful. i wish more people would see these videos to see the reality of prison. i am aware of other people on youtube that explain what life was like in prison but i still think you’re the smartest and most experienced out of all of them (not like it’s a competition). as a 17 year old, ive become completely invested into your channel and hope you come out with more videos you love to make. have a good one Larry.
GET LARRY TO 1 MILLION!
@Jim Bianco no need, we we did it
You are killing it on RUclips, man, nice hustle.
Thanks
Its crazy how entertaining he is like he is just talking to a Canara for 26 minutes but this is still entertaining
Thanks
16:04 When it shows the ADX from above, just to the right of the center of the screen is a yard that looks like skull, its on an angle
Fun Fact: There's a taco place in the back of a gas station that is right next to the Atlanta Prison. Locals call it "Prison Tacos".
Hey Larry- thanks for your vid. Helps me get through my work shift and makes me appreciate my freedom!
Hey Larry, love your videos from UK. You should check out Louis Theroux: Miami Mega Jail. Really raw and unbiased, and pretty local too.
Thanks, I will
I have seen it. It is absolutely amazing. He asks some inmates what would happen if he found himself inside on some minor charge (it's a county jail, but a huge one) and they didn't hold back at all.
Great video Larry! I just finished The Gangster Redemption -book and I have to say that it was quite a thrill altough I had already seen all your videos! Keep on doing good work!
Larry seems like the dude that could be everyone’s best friend at the barbecue
Wow, this channel has blown up. Have been watching since 300k subs. Well done Larry, as always.. great stories
Hey Larry! I've been watching your videos a good bit recently and I really, really respect what you do. It takes a strong man to not only learn from his mistakes, but use his mistakes as a teaching tool for others, especially young people who ate at a high risk of ending up in prison. A buddy of mine got out of a max security not too long ago, basically his ex cheated on him with another dude in his own bed,, he got pissed off (rightfully so) and he took back the PlayStation and such that he gave her and she had him charged with grand theft because the value was over $400. He got nine months for that charge, but unfortunately because he was a younger guy who had a bit of a past? He ended up in a maximum security prison, don't know which one, but I know it was here in NC. I can't say I condone his actions, and that he should have been held accountable, but I understand on a human level why he did it, if it were my girlfriend? I'd be pissed off too and probably do something stupid, just maybe not to that degree. But one of the stories he told me was definitely something you'd hear about in a max security. He told me he was sitting in the mess hall having lunch, and this young guy who was cocky and trying to act all tough took someone else's seat...well, the seat he took was that of an older guy in his 50s with multiple life sentences. Guess it wasn't the first time this kid tried to pull this because he clearly had enough of this young punk disrespecting him. He walked up to him while he was in his seat, and suddenly produced a creepy grin on his face. He left the mess hall for a second, came back with a shank made from a glass shard, and within five seconds slit this guy's throat from ear to ear and got the hell out of there. The guards started calling "lockdown, lockdown! Everyone back to your cells now!", beat his ass, and threw him in the hole for three days. At first I'm like "are you serious? That's all they did to him?" but then it hit me. This was an older guy with multiple life sentences who had a reputation of being a convict, but a convict who took no shit from punks like that. What's the worst they could do to him? Give him another life sentence? He's never getting out unless he's in a body bag. Don't screw with lifers because they have nothing to lose when someone disrespects them or pisses them off.
Anyways, I'd like to request a specific historical prison event if you think you have the time to cover it, it's one that really really pushed prison reform into the spotlight. The 1980 New Mexico State Penitentiary Riots, I read some of the stories and they're truly horrific and disturbing (like rats/snitches and pedos being slowly tortured and burned alive with acetylene blow torches...), but I would love to hear your thoughts on this event, how it came to be, and what happens when the conditions in prison are so bad they're intolerable and convicts have had enough, and I think 1980 New Mexico shows what can happen and how bad it can get when the system is abusive if not sadistic. I also wanted to ask if you ever met anyone who was there when shit was hitting the fan, or perhaps even involved in those riots. Thank you for all the good work you do! Need to join the action crew one of these days.
love the videos larry been watching since 80k cant wait to see you hit 1 million
Fun facts #189: In 2014, Tinder made its first match on the continent of Antarctica. Not surprisingly, both parties involved were research scientists

Hey Larry, looks like another great day to watch one of your excellent instructional videos. Thanks again bro for all the tremendous effort and amount of work you put into your shows. Have a wonderful day Larry. Jimmy.
I know Larry won’t see this, but nothing’s better than waking up and watching him with a cup of tea
I saw it and thanks for that. I also have my coffee watching RUclips.
Great video keep up the good work sir
When us the prison cooking coming out
I am actually going on the road in 2 weeks to start filming the show
Larry Lawton hi larry
I'm glad to see you as a free man Larry! My son went to prison at 18 to serve out a 24 year sentence.He is 12 years into it.Larry it crushed me.Anyway I would love it if you tell a bit about what it does to your family when you go in and how hard the visits are.
Hey Larry did the guards have big guns or was It just hand guns and keep up the great work =)
Or did they have guns
no guns, only in the towers and they had sniper rifles.
Ok thanks
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief did they have any form of weaponry?
@@wynndoesthings8662 The answer to your question is no. Most COs receive training during the academy on 12 gauge shotguns and 5.56 AR rifles, but this is in case of special circumstances or posting in a tower, which is very hard to get. Almost universally, COs carry a 4oz can of OC spray, a radio, a pair of handcuffs without a key except for certain officers, latex gloves and a CPR mask. Some will go the extra mile and carry a small flashlight that is required to be under six inches and 1.5 ounces in weight. Depending on the housing unit you work, you might carry extra handcuffs, shackles and a pair of medical shears to cut down bodies. If you are qualified for an outcount, where you are escorting an offender outside of the prison grounds, you are issued a pistol and potentially a shotgun for the duration.
My pops is in prison and I haven’t been able to see him in months due to the virus. You remind me of him though and some of the stories you tell makes me worry about him even more than I already do lol you also give me hope that someday I’ll get to see him again. Much respect and love to you Larry. Stay safe and keep the videos coming! Thank you!
Man this pisses me off just because people are in prison doesn’t mean they should treat them that way
Thanks. But sadly they do
I like how entertaining you make these lessons and talks. You make it so interesting to listen to dude.
Always wondered what my brother was going through while in prison. Had to learn what not to be when I got older
I really enjoy your videos Larry. Thank you for sharing your experiences brotherman. I have a lot of respect for you and you trying to show ppl they don’t want to go there. Keep it up and I’ll be buying your book soon. Take care
Hey lawton love your content cant wait till 1 mill 🙏
onward and upward. Thanks for your support
Hey Larry love your videos shoutout from Portugal
It's all fun and games until you see the inmates walkin' around in their sneakers and boots.
Recently found your channel Larry and hearing you talking about these horrible things makes me sad for prisoners

Rest In Peace Marvin Gaye
