      Punishment doesnt work it leads to insanely high recidivism.
      The vast majority of crime is survival/desperation/situation based.
      Very few people are just evil.
      But treating people who made a mistake(or worse killed a rapist, sold weed, or other things that really arent immoral) for 10-20 years then expecting them to magically be well adjusted upon release is how you make more evil people not less

    What you say reminds me of a time I was in Norway and talked with an old lady about Anders Behring Breivik (despicable human being to the core), and she told me something I'll never forget. She said: "It's because he acted like a monster that we must treat him like a human being". I didn't agree at the time but boy did it make me think. Rehabilitation really is the only way, like it or not. Even if it means holding them in a cell for life, they are still humans. Thanks for the great content!

    Was locked up 5 years in the feds. First holiday was July 4th 1999. FCI Ft. Dix in New Jersey. There was a bunch of tournaments. From cards, dominoes, ping pong, pool, foosball, softball, basketball, etc. Had a nice spread for lunch. Bag lunch for dinner. Winners of tournaments got 6 packs of soda or more. Not what I expected at all. Christmas was the same, except you got a bag with some snacks and drinks and stuff. It helped. Made you forget for a few moments that you were locked up. I can tell you its just better to stay out of trouble or put yourself in situations that will get you in trouble. On a perfect day prison sucks. Larry keeps it real and does a great job of telling the story. Was interesting to watch. Great video

I've made some mistakes in my past (nothing as major as yours, of course) and I've tried going back to a few people I've wronged but it always goes bad for me, so what I did was just change my ways, then a few of them recognized that I'm no longer the horrible person I used to be.

    I volunteer in the Michigan State Prison system. I teach a group of guys some life skills. Some of these guys might not ever get out of prison, but they are good guys. They made stupid mistakes when they were young. They hung around the wrong people and made a big mistake. But I think that could have been me, if the situation was a little different. It means a lot to these guys to have a volunteer come in and help them. I enjoy it. Listening to Larry it just solidifies my purpose to help people. He is right there are guys that should not ever come out, but if you don't start rehabilitating these guys when they are in prison and they get out what are their chances of making a go at it. Thanks for the videos Larry.

    Damn. I can deal with you talking about extreme violence and the nightmares you have when you remember certain things. But this.... this got me deeply emotional, Mr L. I just wanted to give you the biggest hug.
    Men need this. Do you know how fucking valuable this is? Stupid question, I know you do. I'm a woman and I can tell you straight, men need to be shown and taught that emotional openness and vulnerability is a strength and not a weakness.
    I feel that we really harm our boys and men when we tell them crying isn't "manly" or some such bullshit, and force them to hold it in and not deal with it, THEN give them crap for not dealing with it. It's insane.
    So, thanks. For all the men who tune into you and see an incredibly tough-minded, former gangster who could snap me in half, being so real, open and raw.
