    Larry, I really appreciate what you do. I was getting into trouble for a long time, mostly drugs, and I got clean and back on track but 2 of my best friends I consider brothers are in prison just for being stupid. I try to help them as much as possible keeping them legit and staying busy when they’re out but it’s rough! They last about 9 months and they’re back in! It helps me to learn what they go through when they go away. I really Just wanted to say thanks for what you do for the Struggling people that are really GOOD people trying to make it.

      Both. In the cases I have seen the guys that would be labeled marks because they are "weak" or "easy prey" usually don't have much to give up so they're passed over. In the few instances where someone actually tried to make a move on them it was usually because they got way behind on a debt and if that wasn't the case it was just a psychopath anyways.

    From 2007 until 2009 I had a warrant for my arrest for violating a no-contact order. I was so scared back then on what to expect in jail. A video like the ones you post to your channel would have benefited me if they existed or if I knew about them.
    The way in which I violated the no-contact order was simply calling my soon to be (at the time) ex-wife at the court house and asked her for her new lawyer's contact info. We were supposed to have family court about visitation and she didn't show. Her lawyer on the phone told me she fired him earlier that day. There was no record of her new lawyer when I asked the clerk.

    • @IzmGunner01
      @IzmGunner01 2 года назад +4

      I’m confused and you don’t have to clarify since it is personal to you. But why would you go to jail for breaking a no contact order like that? Unless the reason you had it in the first place should have put you in jail and you got out lucky to wait for a trial. Also if you explained that you called her for a simple legal matter and she could back that up then I doubt they’d do anything to you but that’s if she backs it up or just shows them the call history and said you harassed her.

      @@IzmGunner01 I don't mind answering. I was never sentenced to jail, it was until I had my day in court. I did not want my father to spend $700 to bail me out. I just did my 3 weeks and had my day in court and had a 6 months no reporting probation....
      Here is how it all went down: My ex-wife (we were separated at the time) would use erroneous orders of protections as a weapon to try and get her way. We would be arguing and I would take off because she was getting out of control and disproportionately upset over what most would consider trivial things. I would take off until she cooled down (and sometimes I would need to cool down too) and drive somewhere for a while, see a movie or visit my grandmother's grave.
      My ex would call me if my phone was off she would demand I come home now and engage in the argument with her or she would call the police and get an order of protection against me. This would be on my voice mail and blow a hole in her credibility but I still would have to wait for my day in court. But until I had my day in court she would have an "Emergency Temporary Order of Protection" and if I lost in court then there would be one for a solid year maybe two.
      She did this 3 or 4 times before (getting temporary "emergency orders of protection" good for about 6 weeks. I would have to stay with relatives. (Judge said since it was my house he could not force me to leave but if she claimed I even looked at her in a way that made her feel intimidated I could get arrested and sentenced to one year in jail) and it was a hassle having to go to court request a continuance while I tried to obtain a lawyer so I can properly submit an audio recording into court as evidence because you can not bring in recording devices etc into court and there is a procedure that since I am not a lawyer I do not know.
      However on the last time she tried this I made the mistake of not getting a lawyer. I tried to argue my case and the Jude even admitted that he had some doubts he didn't want to take a chance and granted the no contact order. I had no plans on contacting her because I was done with her.
      On one other occasion when she had a no contact order against me (I could not come by where she was living at the time or her work place) I went to visit my mother at the nursing home for her birthday.
      My ex later came too so my dad and I left (even though technically we could be there we did not want to be caught simply saying "hi" to her) she called the police and before my father and I can exit the parking lot the police come and block my father from backing out.
      They talk to us, my ex shows the paperwork which showed that there was nothing in the language of the document that we could not visit my own mother on her birthday at a neutral place. My ex new I would visit my mother so she stopped by just to get me arrested! it did not work!
      On a separate case when I stayed with my father during waiting for my day in court and then it was all over and the case was dismissed she came to pick me up and my father was upset with her and told her off. She got an order of protection against him and he could not send any mail to the house for anyone. Under duress I signed off on it with her. I left a jacket and my father wrote me a letter just saying I forgot my jacket. She called the police and they called him up and asked him to come to the police station in our town. He did that. He admitted to the simple letter and got arrested.
      Had I - on the last attempt - gotten a continuance the case would eventually been dismissed liked before or at the very worse had much better representation than myself as my own lawyer and would never have had and I would not have gotten arrested two years later. .....
      HOWEVER I am glad it happened because now my fear of the unknown is over and that was the worse part (and for a while in my county they used to have the "dip stick" VD test which was painful.... however that had been stopped before my arrest took place and that was a major reason I didn't simply turn myself in.

    I have a high school friend who worked his way up from prison guard to eventually he became the deputy warden at a prison (medium I believe) in S. Cal. He had some interesting insights on the prisoners that meshed with what Mr. Lawton had to say. He said that a majority are from poor backgrounds and lesser abilities and should have been in a different program or place then prison. He mentioned that the worst or most dangerous prisoners were the main gang member leadership. They were the ones they would have to separate from general population and really keep an eye on. The odd thing he mentioned was that the ones that gave them the least trouble were the one time murderers who had done something when they were younger, usually in the heat of the moment. I asked him what his interaction with prisoners was like, and he said, you always treat them like a human being. You show them respect but you need to be hard and firm when needed. (or words to that effect). If they know your honest and fair, you'll have less trouble.

      I hear what you're saying, and it truly sounds great. On paper. But the fact remains, even when private prisons were minuscule, and the state/fed ran things exclusively, there wasn't much by way of "rehabilitation".
      Prison, throughout most of it's history, hasn't been about rehab. It's always been about punishment.
      When people talk about how "awesome" the supposed-rehab system is in Sweden and Nordic countries, they fail to account for the fact that most "rehabbed" prisoners eventually go back to crime.

    In the 1970's, as a Christian singer songwriter I played twice at San Quentin for their Sunday Chapel Service. For all of these years I've never forgotten an inmate stealing my Bible. After the service he came up to me and showed me that he had my Bible hidden in his pants. How could I possibly refuse? I told him to please keep it. He smiled and walked away. I've always wondered what happened to him. He's always been on my mind and in my heart for nearly 50 years now. ❤

    QUESTION: How would you, given your experience, fix the problem with BoP? My opinion is take away "bonus' for wardens who are incentiviced to add to the animal state current prisons are subjected too.
    my opinion
    Take away the SHU or solitary; severe punishments for guards that smuggle in contraband, take away the right to make cell phone calls by jamming the airwaves and no more 23-1 lockdowns...since it adds to mental stress on inmates. No more commissary which adds to extortion, gambling, and other crimes...all inmates should have slippers like in other prisons around the world...no tennis shoes...also see through containers like see-through tooth paste tubes like prisons in Singapore. Use prisons alongside recycling centers so inmates earn money while sorting trash...obviously metal detecters and drug dogs. Keep inmates busy and productive and less time for shinannagans.

    Great video Larry, over time, while you've in essence told us this, although not all in one session.👍 Keep up the great work, as we need more like you educating the youth & possible 1st time offenders, preferably before it happens.💖
    Have noticed in recent weeks there are a few more newcomers in this line of RUclips creation & that's great. While it'll take most a long time to catch up to your number of followers, they too have served both State & Fed time, the more exposure, the merrier!👌 In fact, one (Chad Marks) has a channel where the music at beginning explains their mission & is into the raw & real truths fairly as you describe, only longer, saving today's youth. Another up & comer who has nearly 6K subscribers in no time after being released (Rob @ Convict Inc), although more soft spoken, still tells it like it is. Major difference being they're also from different regions as you mentioned in this video. I had never heard of USP Big Sandy in Marion, IL, our temporary Supermax unit where Chad Marks mentioning serving over 12 years there (plus how downright brutal the place was) & went on to finish the remaining at medium custody. On the West Coast, a rude awakening from those on the East, were racial segregation is the rule & not exception, be it State of Federal sentence being served.
    Would rather take my chances being a police officer than a CO in medium or maximum security prisons. It's bad when inmates outright slaps a rookie CO in the face for nothing, on the other hand, once found out, it'll be 5 or more CO's beating the crap out of that inmate, and the one who got slapped will repay when doing so with the inmate restrained. Not to mention, chances of either a long term stay in the SHU or transfer to a more secure unit (even ADX Florence) are very high.
    Yours was the 1st exclusive prison RUclips I followed & still am getting notified of new ones daily. BTW, bought your book a month or so back, much great content in there, very highly recommended! Just don't begin reading at bedtime.🤣 And thanks for the autograph & kind note you wrote me!💖
