I was celled up with a convicted murderer. He got a letter that told him his cat of 20 years died. That man cried for 3 days. Not one person in there thought of messing with him about it. Shit, most of us were right there with him. His cat was one of the last things, he felt, keeping him human. PS: You could do a whole video just on the proper use of "please, thank you and pardon me" Manners do go a long way in there.
My cat saved me from a deep depression and when i hit the lowest of my lows this little kitten. Cold wet and im assuming hungry because it ate the food i had like it was nothing. She saved my life 4 years ago
Have an amazing, safe and healthy new years to Larry and everyone else who sees this. Lets all make 2021 the year of reconnecting and pushing our country to do better.
@@ftffighter I feel like there's more room on the bottom. At least where I was. There was only like half a foot between me and the ceiling when I was in. My celly had like 30 years on me, so I didn't argue about it out of respect for an elder. I wasn't going to be there long anyway.
One of my favorite parts from the film: Lyshitski reoffends and goes to the judge and negotiates his sentence, “How’s 4-6 sound to you?” “Not as good as 7-10.” “I’ll settle for 3-5 but wait, there’s more. I want to do my time in Rossmore.” “You actually want to go to Rossmore? Why?” “Three words, sister: location, location, location.”
You did a really amazing job cropping the funny bits so as to not spoil it for people who wanted to watch the movie because of this. Very nicely done. Love your content.
The first time I watched this I was tripping on shrooms and the part where the cartoon bus is on the map and the song comes on singing, "let's go to prison", I started saying, "I don't wanna go to prison though" lmao good times
Larry, you've said EVERYTHING I've wanted to tell everyone. I've been a County C/O for nearly 18 years. I laughed my ass off to this movie, but TV/movies always have it wrong with sentencing, cell mate, prison "choices", the way the showers are set up.... it's all not how it goes. Also, much respect to you my man. Love seeing inmates who make it out and find a way for themselves. You're a genius to start this channel. Also, I'm sorry to hear how C/O's treated you in this video. You're right, respect for everyone goes a LONG way.
Larry your videos are incredible. What separates you from the rest is that you have insanely good video ideas (they just keep coming) and every time you have something to say about the video you’re full of wisdom. Keep it up man, love the stuff!
It's just amazing to see how much your channel has grown in a year. Congratulations Larry. Keep up your good work. And I hope this year will be your best in life yet :)
This is literally the one thing Ive been waiting to see on this channel since I found Larry's vids reacting to movies/shows. Keep it up man! Love the vids and the work you do trying to fix the prison systems.
My son is in Lewisburg with just 8 month left . Strait A student turned drug dealer . This used to be one of our favorite movies , how ironic . We've talked about what they got right and wrong in this movie . Somehow this has made me want him home more than ever so he can begin his new life . He has lost over 150 lbs and is in awesome shape . Thank you .
Never heard of it but added it to my watch list. I like the director and many of the actors and I laughed at all the scenes. Thanks Larry...Happy New Year!!
I can just imagine that guy mountain backing off a dude that he outweighs by near 130 lbs. BC he said no rear entry and I can't stop laughing at that image
FINALLY!! I have been waiting for this one a long time- so interesting to know what's close to reality and what not. Its definitely my favorite prison movie! Perfect prison vibe
Larry I’m a retired cop 👮♂️ I love your story’s. We used to say that “we only catch the stupid ones” but that’s not true with you. Glad you straightened out your life. I think you’d make a good cop 👮♂️ hope all is well
I'm glad you reviewed this, and I figured you'd like it despite the inaccuracies. I'd be interested to see you do a review of an episode of The Sopranos, sometime.
@@9Godslayer I'll have to rewatch it some time, been like ten years and I don't remember anything except the basic plot of the show where criminals work together to find escaped convicts and each have a unique skill or something and are working to get a reduced sentence.
I got picked for jury duty a couple times. Missed one duty day, got a second chance, missed the second time. Told the judge I started a new job and was a college kid, had to pay $50, cool whatever. Second time, got a letter for district jury duty. I lived in a different state when I got that. Filled out a slip, wrote "don't ever pick me again, I don't care, leave me alone." So far, I don't think I've been picked again. Hope to God I don't get picked again. Funny part at the hearing or whatever it was when I went to court for failing to appear, one lady went with a plan. She told the judge the reason why she couldn't do jury duty was because of her religion that was holiness and she couldn't judge people. The judge had the look of are you serious but let her off, you can go home, no fine. My reaction was you gotta be fucking kidding me. Good times
One of the most underrated movies ever. I agree with you on having professional jurors. It would take a Constitutional Amendment for it to happen but it would be a good idea. I'd rather be judged by 12 lawyers who only consider the facts of the case and not emotions.
I LOVE that you not only covered the movie but you clearly enjoyed it as well-- I still say quilty… This movie is so great, first time I saw this I couldn’t stop laughing! Don’t forget to shake your body, Larry!
Larry, I gotta say, out of all of the people in my life, military or civilian, you're one of the coolest dudes I've seen. You've been through your own shit, but you know where you're line is, where the standard is. You keep yourself well placed and humble, and I just really enjoy listenin' to you speak.
Hey Larry. I found your channel because of GTA and I was interested by what you said. This lead me to watch your other videos such as your Gangsta redemption story (Which was extremely good and got me emotional at some moments.) I think you are a great role model ( Not the robbing bit but the reform and never giving up when they put you in the hole.) Just wanted to let you know. Keep up the great engrossing videos👍🏻
Theirs this show I loved to watched,it’s called my name is earl,from 2008,they have episodes on prison,when earl takes to blame for someone and goes to prison.Can you make a video on the tv show ?
This was one of my fave shows and i completely forgot about the parts where he's in prison. Larry should definitely watch some of those episodes! I think he would like the idea of a show about a guy dedicated to righting all his wrongs
I'm glad you're reviewing this flick. Whether it's an accurate portrayal of prison or not (I'm going to assume it isn't), it's funny as hell! I've always wanted to know what someone who's done time thinks of this movie.
Lmao the prosecutor when given the right to kick off any juror they want chose me first. I was literally the only person on that jury who was actually that defendant's peer. I guess the prosecutor doesn't actually want that.
@@Odingle from Larry it seems like he learned a lot on his life journey going through that. I admire his advocacy for prisoners. I think the American prison system is being used as a reservoir for greater social problems we refuse to fix. I think there are two basic philosophies to the purpose of a prison system: (1) rehabilitative and (2) retributional. The mentality in this country is that the prison system is retributional; by design it's purpose is to not make the person better, but to make them suffer.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Any time brother. I really appreciate the channel and all of your efforts and sharing your experiences with all of us. I read your poster on the back wall with a message to your children to my two sons and they both almost cried. I'm a cancer survivor and I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids, and I am the first person in the last six generations of my family to have two boys, so my wife and I have truly been blessed. We have been fighting tooth and nail to get a bigger house for our family and this year God also blessed us with a house almost three times the size of our first house, so although 2020 was a horrible year for most people, it was one of the best for the four of us. Keep doing what you're doing brother and God bless.
You should react to a tv show called “for life” it’s about a prisoner who is wrongly convicted and gets his law degree and fights for his and others freedom.

Alright! Let's try again for 2022!
"You've got to do better, senator, YOU'VE got to step up"
ugh
The warden's speech when they first get there cracks me up.
He offered him the top bunk to try to appear like he was doing him a favor while really taking advantage of his ignorance.
Top bunk sucks? Never knew.
@@ollie7070 more of a pain to get up and down, make bed and some cells have low ceilings where you can't sit up on the top bunk without hunching over
Call me weird, but I preferred the top bunk. It wasn't as cold and typically wasn't as loud.

Its New Years Eve Larry! A lot of drugs being done in prison tonight! 😂
Yes - like every other day but this one with more emotional baggage. Holidays were hard
Love you larry
and out of prison
The people with a long sentence just counting down another year in hell

This is the movie our family watches on Thanksgiving every year. For absolutely no reason.
My kid got his report card the other day. I immediately asked him for his paperwork, but he ran to his mom and PC’d up...
What were his grades?

Larry's expression at "You'll be free to go, to the hole" makes me think he may have been through that once or twice.
