Thank you for your content, do you respond to letters? I have a project for school and I really wanted to do your book, haven’t gotten to read it, just wondering, sorry for your loss
Hey Larry I'm 17 and I was going down the wrong path and I stumbled upon your videos about 2 weeks ago and you have given me the motivation to change my life around. Stay real g
Maybe even better advice: get into a trade through a union. All you have to pay for is your monthly dues and the union provides you guaranteed work and pays for 100% of your education and certifications. No debt during or after your education and there is always work and health benefits.
Make good decisions. I went in at 19 for simple possession and spent 4 years. I was beaten up many times, isolated, abused by guards, raped by 5 and 6 guys at a time. I had to have reconstructive surgery when I got out. I'll never be "normal."

Larry, I'm an old lady who has never been to prison, but I appreciate that you turned your life around and are providing a useful service to others who may think about going down the wrong path. God Bless you. Happy Holidays.
He did not turn his life around, just got old and tired of doing time, I am 56 did time when I was young I am not even American born and raised here in USA, we do what we do when we are young, I did time for malicious wounding bullshit, had to take care of some scumbag and I took good care of him getting 12 years in the process, they sent me out on parole did my probation horseshit years, been doing great minding my own business making my honest money. Now, anyone coming along with the same kind of shit that scumbag came along long ago, I will fucking do worse than what I did first time getting a felony malicious wounding shit, the older I get the less I have to lose.
Alls I know is that my dear old dad told me that if I ever drew a bit, first day I'm in the yard he says, walk up to the biggest guy and point up in the sky and then kick him in the pills when he looks up, as hard as you can. Luckily it turned out I never needed his advice, but hey, just the same, thanks pops.
I'm a government employee and ex-cop. How I found your videos, I don't know. But you seem to be an incredible knowledgeable and inspiration to many. It's like I say about life. It's not how you start, it's how you end it. Congrats Larry and I love watching your videos.
@emceeourtney241 What year was that? In my experience, the "care" in prison is the minimum they can get away with. They aren't made of money. A side note to that: When a prisoner is terminally ill with 6 months left to live, and gets released "on compassionate grounds," it's really just because the BOP doesn't want to pay for the inmate's end-of-life care.
@@JessicaKent I learned your story in your interview w/ Larry. I want you to know that it was so touching and really spoke to me as a father of three. It still gets me just imaging you holding your daughter outside the courthouse saying, "we did it". I don't know you but I'm so proud for you, and I hold my children even closer because of the perspective you've enstilled for me. Thanks for sharing!
Larry, been a fan for a while but I gotta say: every video you do is captivating and your skills as a speaker are incredibly obvious. You definitely have a natural talent for this type of work, and everything is super informative. Really great stuff!
Hey Larry, former max/close security officer here. Just gonna say I agree with what you said 100%. I dunno where this guy got this information from, but not all of it is true. At the prison I worked in, we tried our best to identify the various gang affiliations, and separated obvious issues. You obviously couldn't have two rivals being in close proximity with each other and the like because that was just trouble waiting to happen, and my facility had a couple of different dorms types. We had one we all called the "honor dorms", which is where the older guys or the very well behaved orderlies went, sometimes if guys were playing it nice for long enough they were considered, and then you had the ACU's (basically the hole for inmates with mental instability things going on). We also had a separate yet connected facility where inmates no longer considered a major threat went, and usually those guys were gonna be out pretty soon or they were about to be transferred to a lower level security. The process I've seen was basically get papers done, get strip searched, get suited up in your first DoC jumpers, and assign a temporary dorm until higher ups figured out where they wanted you. When they got their briefing, typically the Warden was there but sometimes if he wasn't able to get to it the Deputy Warden of security would do it, the newbies learned to stand up at attention REAL quick, learned the lay of the facility, all the important faces (medical, mental health, big name officers, PREA team, etc) though half of them never showed up even though they are listed to arrive on the schedule, and were sent back to their housing with a pack. Sometimes they sat there for a week or longer, but during that time they got their DoC ID and for the most part, I can guarantee you, 99% of those new faces that never been to prison were shaking in their trousers, even though they weren't really in that much danger, being in the newly booked dorms, and separated from the other knuckleheads that probably would do something to cause issues. This is a really cool insight from the perspective of someone that's been in the system man, keep doing these videos, always glad to see an ex-con that's going to the straight and narrow, and I'll probably even check your book out sometime. Cheers!
I admire you for doing a very tough job. I admire ex cons who made it straight like Larry. Is it in Norway some prisoners are given small homes to manage and a garden. Supposedly their was less recidivism when they went through that system.
Seems like stuff they pulled from novels about prisons rather than stuff from other countries. Not sticking your fingers in an inmate’s mouth is just common sense.
Hey Larry I'm really enjoying your videos. I was a corrections officer for about 2 years in a state prison, and your videos are like a walk down memory lane. Also, I have never ever heard of officers putting their hands on an inmate during a strip search either. I was very surprised to hear that in the infographics video.
I spent ten years as a correctional Officer. I even worked transport,which included processing inmates out of and into the prison where I worked. I worked maximum, minimum, State and Federal. I agree with most every observation you made here.
@@RoGueNavy so were you a slave that was marketed as a corrections officer? Im your owner if you want to discuss the rest of your life with your owner.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief is there a church in prison? Also will being a Christian get you killed? Not being holier than thou obviously, just trying to be a good person and being faithful to Christ?
@@chaytonhurlow840there are many "preachers" that misbehave in a way theyd deserve to be in prison. Check rodney allen mcglothlin for an example. Pastor f**ked his 15 years old foster kid, with a friend of his!!
@@LarryLawtonJewelThiefpraises from this end man. we love what you do and it's saving thousands from ever making the trip because you take the time to make sure people know this stuff and giving out what they call "free game." Keep it coming man we're learning more from this than any school system and the fact checks you're doing is so authentic. this is probably the most in descript info you're gonna get on the tube about being locked down hands down.
Love you man. I’m only 24, but I look up to Larry Lawton in MANY ways. He is always so knowledgeable, whether it’s about lessons in life, or the system. You will always learn something knew when you watch his videos, and there is ALWAYS something to take-away. Much love and respect for this guy. Peace and love from Fairbanks, Alaska.
I really respect this guy and much credit for changing his life around, and actually telling it EXACTLY how it is(not that i would know to be fair, i've never crossed the law). Also one of the most engaging speakers i've heard.
Hey Larry, I've been around since around 20k subs and just gotta say the content and hearing you speak still never gets old! A lot of the stories I've heard many times but still never get bored, you really have a gift with speech my guy, something I aspire to get better at myself. Keep it up!
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief I used to work with this guy, he was a total dope, and I once overheard him telling a coworker that actually had been to prison "man I always wanted to go in the joint! I'm jealous." Again, this guy was a moron.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThiefyou have to keep a good sense of humour about these things otherwise you will just end up doing your own head in, if you can have a laugh while you are doing your time it makes life a lot better 🍺
Hey Larry, If you're looking to play another video game, I highly recommend escapists (the first one). It would be super interesting seeing your approach to escaping the first prison given your experiences & perspectives. Great content as always! :D
I worked in a county jail, not a great job experience. But I interacted with inmates all the time. Most were pretty down to earth, no matter the charge. It really put a different perspective on it for me. They even rented a unit got federal inmates too. I saw many an inmate awaiting "chain" as the called it. I know it wasn't prison, but I saw and recognize a lot of what you mention in your videos. Inmates gambling commissary, phone calls, visitation, etc. I love watching your videos. I saw how a lot of the officers were, making it difficult for the inmates. My whole shtick was "I don't care what you do, just don't do it in front of rank, and don't do anything that makes me have to write a report". I wasn't there to make their lives harder than it already was. I really like the flipside perspective you provide.
I used to work in schools with seriously behaviourally disordered children and young people (in England) and they would have benefitted from having Larry telling them "this is what it's *actually* like".
Love your take on orientation. From the other side as a deputy/corrections officer I never got an orientation. Took me two weeks to figure out where the kitchen and gym were, how commissary worked and much more. Pay roll and where checks were picked up and even pay day were a mystery.
I did 5 years in Federal Prison and have been stripped searched a ton too. Most humiliating thing ever. Infographics got a lot of things wrong. Never been touched by a guard during a stripped search. My first 24 hours was pretty good. Was in an 18 man room at FCI Ft. Dix that ended up being good friends for the 3 years I served there. Helped me out a lot with hygiene, books, food, and good advice. Really needed it to. I was 22 with nothing but myself. That was back in '99-'01. Larry gives it to you raw and real. Its the way I remember it. And nothing in prison is more important the the 4 pm stand up count. Go ahead and mess up it. Was interesting to watch. Great video
You sir are one of my favorite channels. Im not gonna lie, when I first clicked on your gangster redemption videos, I thought it was gonna be a "woe as me I went to prison be sad for me" kind of a deal. Man was I surprised. You are a true man of character and honor. All of your arguments are well constructed and fantastic and I get lost in your channel on a daily basis. Its the highlight of my day when a Larry Lawton video pops up on my dash. God Bless, and thank you for your service.
Glad this was made. You covered every annoying mistake on that infographics video. As alumni of the Florida Department of Corrections I really enjoy your videos.
I always love people reacting to Infographics, I never trusted them since they posted a video on joining the US Airforce where almost every fact was wrong and the fact thier "US Airforce" video featured exclusively Russian jets.
Oh yeah I saw the reaction to it from C.W. Lemoine ^^ But yeah what I hate about infographics apart from getting facts wrong is the animations, editing and basically everything just looks annoying and just seems to distract me personally.
If that’s why you don’t like infographics then you should take what this guy says with skepticism. He’s wrong a lot and I don’t know if he does it on purpose or just doesn’t realize it but he often acts as if his opinions or experiences are facts, simply because he doesn’t know better. Infographics usually gets like 80% of the facts right, but on this channel if your actually fact checking, can be far worse. Especially when it comes to religion, one of his videos I saw like a year ago still bugs the crap out of me today it was just so bad to the point I would consider what he claimed to be slander and lies.
The ink issue actually depends on the size of the town you're arrested in. I was "inked" in 2011 (fairly recently) in Hawthorne, Nevada. A true middle-of-nowhere kind of town. An interesting side note: That same jailed allowed cigarette smoking so long as you did it outside in the rec area, which is a huge no-no in most other places. You had to get arrested with your own cigs, you could borrow from the guards though if they smoked.
22:22 the compatibility check is absolutely correct for the prison I work at. I'm an officer at a Sex Offender prison. We absolutely do separate the inmates based on their codes given to them at intake. In addition the inmates are never allowed to know what their codes are.
You know, there aren't many people that I am legit, incredibly interested in what you have to say. I will never land myself in a situation that lands me in prison, but it is incredibly interesting to learn how things go when things get real. I'm so glad I came across you and got to learn your journey.
Great video! Very informative! It is nice to hear a non-sugar coated explanation of what goes on in those kinds of joints. I'm going to have to watch more of your videos.
Out here telling the truth. I really like your content, Larry. I have managed to avoid the justice system ever since I was barely a teenager, but that same system and its vagaries have always fascinated me. Your abundant experience, first-hand accounts and frankly very engaging storytelling really keep me coming back for more.
“Truth”, based on his views and what he thinks, but not so much fact based. So many times, even in this video he’ll describe something that is just completely wrong or say “this doesn’t happen” when I’ve experienced it. It’s usually more of an opinion, if you take everything at face value then your a fool and getting bad info. These videos should just be entertaining.
@@justinmartin4662 no disrespect to Lawton, I’m sure he’s saying it how he believes it, and I do believe he’s telling the truth about what he says, but I also think that some of his statements (I’ve never been locked up so I can’t say for certain) might not apply to everyone. Because he was in maximum security prisons, which, usually, have more aggressive people, I’d imagine some of the stuff he faced was also more extreme then the experiences of most people, the ones in lower security prisons
Larry, I am a retired Jail Nurse from N. California. Thx for setting the record straight. Would have been honored to have you in "my house.". Thoroughly enjoy your posts & keep up the good work!
Mr larry i really appreciate you putting time and lots of info into this video i know it must've been really hard doing your time But you did the crime and you did your time that's something to be proud of Love your content i really enjoy it watching You sir have a wonderfull day And take care
Its a really good thing to have guys like Larry making videos about prison even if it only helps one person stay on or get on the right path it’s worth it! The younger generations get their information good and bad from social media platforms like TH-cam and when they are looking up the criminal side of things they will also see videos from quality guys like urself and it will absolutely help some people not become criminals. Tv stations made shows like scared straight and stuff like that trying to help kids but all that stuff was scripted, it had the vibe of getting yelled at by ur parents I’m sure it helped some people but ur videos are completely different you don’t judge people, you have an open mind, your honest about everything good and bad and one really important thing is telling the truth about how inmates are treated by the prison system in general, the guards, healthcare, how inmates treat each other, how inmates are treated by their crimes, the abuse they suffer, the cover ups by guards and all that stuff specially the abuse suffered from the system/guards is not something that a prison will talk about on a tv show they will never admit to a fraction of what is actually going on and when kids hear about the real abuse going on some will think twice and say to themselves I don’t ever want to go there.
Man you are making life so much easier to handle with these videos. Im soon to be doing a year or so for a federal crime. And these videos help me understand a little more whats to come. I thoroughly enjoy your story telling and narrating
Federal prison is very different than State prison. Larry could open your eyes a little bit but you will never fully understand until you are there. Good luck on your white collar stay.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Yes! I absolutely recommend the Gangster Redemption series. One of the most interesting, entertaining stories on TH-cam. Uncle La' really knows how to spin a yarn. Great storyteller. Larry is a good, stand up guy. I never met him, yet I respect him.
Great video, another concept would be your last 24 hours of prison! Do you exchange phone numbers with inmates? What phone calls do you make to prepare a ride or where to go? What final paperwork gets signed? Are your belongings you came with returned to you in the same condition?
Larry, have you done a video of the last day you were in prison, including your thoughts about what you had been through, feelings about being free, thoughts about what you would do and how you would feel after being released? And what you did during your first day of freedom?
I've been binge watching your content lately and I can't even imagine some of the stuff if I had to go through it. I'm claustrophobic I don't know what I'd do if I had to go on con or go in holding cells with 5 other guys. Love the content!
I'm a recent subscriber. Only went to jail once but it was wrongfully. Ever since I'm very curious and find your videos very informative. So glad you were able to turn your life around and be successful.
Once upon a time. I landed myself in a bit of trouble. While I was locked up. My pops words of encouragement were " if you can do 3 days, you can do 30 years".
1st time ever on youtube after over 15k views I see no /zero thumbs down. And that proves how real you are but also you the honesty and the way you present your videos is top of the range. I've made bad choices, I still suffer now but I'm trying to hold on. Thanks Larry. You are definitely an enigma..peace and love ✌❤ from Wales 🏴🏴
Have you ever heard of the man that was in solitary for like 2 years because the judge kept putting off his case or something like that? At a certain point they wouldn't allow the guy to shower or anything which caused damage to his health. When his lawyer told him what happened he thought his lawyer was joking because he lost track of time. Crazy story.
When I went to Prison for first time, The Big House!! For at least 2hrs. They said after inly being there 15Minutes was 'Whats your religion, do you have any enemies, Where do you want your body sent, Medical tests, then finally go to Block then I slept for two hrs. I Maxed out in1999 And I Never looked back!! Never went again. I seen it all there & Yes I Could've Wrote a book about my experience. But I just let it go..... Don't need to be reminded of State Prison Anymore.. I'm glad!! 🙃
Well I’m glad you cleared that up. I was thinking I would check in and tell them I want a suite with a view, extra towels and book a massage for that evening. I was going to let the guard carry my luggage for me and wait as he made my bed and fluffed the pillows. I still can’t decide if I want Chinese food or Pizza for dinner. 😂🙈
Your channel is a benefit to human beings. You are a genuine man, and I am glad to share the world with one like you. Way to go. You took command of your life and you found a way. Cheers.
I like The Infographics Show as a fun channel with some interesting facts, and I like the way it's animated, but I don't take it too seriously. For the real deal, I go to Larry, LOL. I do like their "challenge" episodes, though.
Infographics makes a lot of mistakes, but that happens when you make so many videos on a large variety of subjects relatively quickly. Watching their videos is a good way to get some basic knowledge on a subject, but if one wants to actually get into said subject, videos like yours are the way to go to set things straight.
The problem is if you can't trust one of their facts, you can't trust any of them. What is the point in watching one of these infographics shows if it could be total nonsense? it's worse than wasting your time because you might then repeat false info to someone. There are a lot of these "quick facts" "top 10" cheaply made animated videos on youtube, and a lot of them are total bunk, made in foriegn countries for the ad revenue. All of them recorded with a silly way of talking almost like a hollywood announcer. (I've really grown to dislike that voice a lot of "documentary" youtubers put on, like the bald guy you see who's on like 10,000 youtue channels such as the biographics one - that bizzare overly dramatic, drawn out way of speaking trying to add more drama).
I'm just halfway through, but it looks like they mixed up the specifics big time here... and Larry's cuttin no corners in giving them ALL the criticism he can lol. But it's important people know the truth, you're doing the lords' work Larry and we appreciate it!
Larry, i am inspired by content like this. Makes me do everything i can to avoid prison but you also have some knowledge because you can’t control the future. Thank you for all the quality content man.
Fascinating information and I appreciate your candor. Have you touched on mental health issues within the incarcerated population? Our country would rather lock up unwell individuals than medicate them. Then once they are in the system and violate because they rarely receive appropriate medication (too expensive they say) they just keep tacking on charges. I know personally, my oldest struggles with profound mental illness issues. I fought tooth and nail to get her the right meds in jail (paid for brand new unopened scripts) to absolutely no avail. Some officials care, most don't.
Just started reading the book! It's amazing to hear the backstory behind everything. You have given me courage to turn my life around for good I couldn't imagine having to go through prison and be dehumanized like that.(Treated like SHIT)
Hey, I have another review idea if you're interested. Shadow raid from payday 2, the crew enter a private security company wearhouse to clear it out. Im kinda interested in seeing if this is realistic to the ones you did back when you did wearhouse robberies. Other then that, I hope you're having a good day and enjoy the rest of your afternoon and evening.
Thanks for busting this absurd video! I worked at Florida State Prison, maximum security, full lockdown, and almost nothing in that video was accurate. Your comments were. I’m glad you are going in the right direction now. Blessings!
Love watching these videos, started watching earlier this year and I wish I saw you before then, your videos are always fun to watch and I always leave with a little bit more knowledge about the prison system.
It's good to see you doing this sort of video because even if you only stop one young person from going into a life of crime it is one life you have saved not to say even preventing someone from getting hurt or offended again. As for your demonstration video, it is clear (to me) that it was made without much research.
Larry, I've been waiting for a video like this!!!!! You have inspired me, along with other youtubers like yourself, to turn my life around, thank you so much!!!!!! I really dont think you realize how many people's lives you have made an impact on with your channel!!!
I was a Military Policeman, correctional specialist, at the United States Disciplinary Barracks, Ft. Leavenworth, KS (US Military) from 1975 to 1980. The military prison system is a lot different than civilian prisons. After leaving the army, I was hired by the BOP, Ft. Leavenworth. I worked there from 1983 to 2003.
Larry I love this videos! They're really educational. @Ceaser Madrazo was the one who brought me here and I'm learning a lot. Keep up the awesome work man! Much love from an EMT in Cali.
I’m watching this as someone who spent time in a military federal prison (aka the brig). There were guns inside (pistols for every duty officer), and they still use ink for finger printing. These videos are binge worthy lol
Love your channel. And I know you’re here to inspire people to make good choices, but is there one crime that you committed that you - to this day - don’t regret committing? Would be interested to know 😉
I had an ex arrested for domestic disturbance and they took his DNA when he was arrested and they told him they had to have it because of his charge even though it's minor. I think its a good idea and will probably help alot of cold cases get solved.
Great information Larry. I need to watch more of your videos when I have time. One video I'd love to see you do is how hard would it be to break someone out of prison.
Only a tiny percent of prisoners ever saw a jury of their peers. If they offer you 5 years on a 50 year charge guilty or innocent most will take the 5 years without a trial.
Love you man. You are the person I look up too. I thank you for helping me during my hard times. I understand that you had a rough time in prison but you are my hero. I just want to say love you and keep making these videos, i look forward to watching ur videos every day it is what keeps me going during the day. You have much respect with me and my family. Love you Larry
The Infographics Show are the type of people to show the "you better hang up that computer call" scene and be like: "This is exactly what prison is like"
Thanks for the great video larry, im really glad that you brought up how long classification takes... for example i did 4 years for a violent offence when i was 19. but it took at least 3 days of waiting in an intake facility somewhere in texas (near houston i think... its been awhile) just to get to the point of being brought to the actual prison. I really think infographics should shut up about the prison system.
Thank you all for your kind emails and words on the passing of a close friend. We had some amazing times. Live life everyone.

Best Advice : Get an education that will make you money . That will keep you out of prison.
That makes me feel good. Stay on the straight and narrow and also have fun. Just think before you act.
Maybe even better advice: get into a trade through a union. All you have to pay for is your monthly dues and the union provides you guaranteed work and pays for 100% of your education and certifications. No debt during or after your education and there is always work and health benefits.

We had one we all called the "honor dorms", which is where the older guys or the very well behaved orderlies went, sometimes if guys were playing it nice for long enough they were considered, and then you had the ACU's (basically the hole for inmates with mental instability things going on).
We also had a separate yet connected facility where inmates no longer considered a major threat went, and usually those guys were gonna be out pretty soon or they were about to be transferred to a lower level security.
The process I've seen was basically get papers done, get strip searched, get suited up in your first DoC jumpers, and assign a temporary dorm until higher ups figured out where they wanted you. When they got their briefing, typically the Warden was there but sometimes if he wasn't able to get to it the Deputy Warden of security would do it, the newbies learned to stand up at attention REAL quick, learned the lay of the facility, all the important faces (medical, mental health, big name officers, PREA team, etc) though half of them never showed up even though they are listed to arrive on the schedule, and were sent back to their housing with a pack. Sometimes they sat there for a week or longer, but during that time they got their DoC ID and for the most part, I can guarantee you, 99% of those new faces that never been to prison were shaking in their trousers, even though they weren't really in that much danger, being in the newly booked dorms, and separated from the other knuckleheads that probably would do something to cause issues.
This is a really cool insight from the perspective of someone that's been in the system man, keep doing these videos, always glad to see an ex-con that's going to the straight and narrow, and I'll probably even check your book out sometime. Cheers!
Youre a slave thats marketed as a security officer? Do you think and act like security officers exist outside of fiction? Often?
I admire you for doing a very tough job. I admire ex cons who made it straight like Larry. Is it in Norway some prisoners are given small homes to manage and a garden. Supposedly their was less recidivism when they went through that system.
Seems like stuff they pulled from novels about prisons rather than stuff from other countries.
Not sticking your fingers in an inmate’s mouth is just common sense.
Hey Larry I'm really enjoying your videos. I was a corrections officer for about 2 years in a state prison, and your videos are like a walk down memory lane. Also, I have never ever heard of officers putting their hands on an inmate during a strip search either. I was very surprised to hear that in the infographics video.
lol our warden got chaged freeworld charges for doing just that
Excited for this one, Larry giving info to the infographics!
As I should when they are wroong
I spent ten years as a correctional Officer. I even worked transport,which included processing inmates out of and into the prison where I worked. I worked maximum, minimum, State and Federal. I agree with most every observation you made here.
Good to know.

I love how 90% of people now get all of their information from videos made by channels like infographics. and now they are an expert in the matter.
Love you man. I’m only 24, but I look up to Larry Lawton in MANY ways. He is always so knowledgeable, whether it’s about lessons in life, or the system. You will always learn something knew when you watch his videos, and there is ALWAYS something to take-away. Much love and respect for this guy. Peace and love from Fairbanks, Alaska.
Thanks and I love young people and I have such hope for the future because of guys like you. Listen and take advice and then do it YOUR way.
Bro I was scared the first year but then I calmed down learn from others
What an awesome comment! Thank u for sharing Dezz! ❤️
God speed Bro!
Look up g zim
Looking up to felons...man get better role models
I really respect this guy and much credit for changing his life around, and actually telling it EXACTLY how it is(not that i would know to be fair, i've never crossed the law). Also one of the most engaging speakers i've heard.
Listening to you is like hearing a family member tell a story at a fam-reunion
Hey larry. You're the only reason I'm no longer a criminal who deserves to be arrested
Youre no longer a fictional thing?
No mate... you are! Kudos to larry though 👏
@@bunk95 ???
Hey Larry, I've been around since around 20k subs and just gotta say the content and hearing you speak still never gets old! A lot of the stories I've heard many times but still never get bored, you really have a gift with speech my guy, something I aspire to get better at myself. Keep it up!
Thank you and thanks for being a long time follower and subscriber
Im impressed. You embody what a prison is actually supposed to do. I see that you are mentally stronger and physically stronger and in a better place.
Love how they're smiling and so happy about going to prison.
Never thought about that, nobody is happy going to prison. NOBODY
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief I used to work with this guy, he was a total dope, and I once overheard him telling a coworker that actually had been to prison "man I always wanted to go in the joint! I'm jealous." Again, this guy was a moron.

I was a corrections officer in the Navy. You hit the nail on the head about admissions.
Hey Larry, If you're looking to play another video game, I highly recommend escapists (the first one). It would be super interesting seeing your approach to escaping the first prison given your experiences & perspectives. Great content as always! :D
I heard about that
Yeah I would like seeing him play that also, very fun game and I think that content would be great
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief id really like to see that too
if Larry players the escapists it’ll make my week lmao
@@natanprzybylko7227 I think he'd be good at it!
I worked in a county jail, not a great job experience. But I interacted with inmates all the time. Most were pretty down to earth, no matter the charge. It really put a different perspective on it for me. They even rented a unit got federal inmates too. I saw many an inmate awaiting "chain" as the called it. I know it wasn't prison, but I saw and recognize a lot of what you mention in your videos. Inmates gambling commissary, phone calls, visitation, etc. I love watching your videos. I saw how a lot of the officers were, making it difficult for the inmates. My whole shtick was "I don't care what you do, just don't do it in front of rank, and don't do anything that makes me have to write a report". I wasn't there to make their lives harder than it already was. I really like the flipside perspective you provide.
Larry killing it with the prison content as always
Helping the kids to understand prison isn’t the cool easy place some think it is.
Exactly, telling the truth
I used to work in schools with seriously behaviourally disordered children and young people (in England) and they would have benefitted from having Larry telling them "this is what it's *actually* like".
Lol who thinks prison is easy?
Love your take on orientation. From the other side as a deputy/corrections officer I never got an orientation. Took me two weeks to figure out where the kitchen and gym were, how commissary worked and much more. Pay roll and where checks were picked up and even pay day were a mystery.
I did 5 years in Federal Prison and have been stripped searched a ton too. Most humiliating thing ever. Infographics got a lot of things wrong. Never been touched by a guard during a stripped search. My first 24 hours was pretty good. Was in an 18 man room at FCI Ft. Dix that ended up being good friends for the 3 years I served there. Helped me out a lot with hygiene, books, food, and good advice. Really needed it to. I was 22 with nothing but myself. That was back in '99-'01. Larry gives it to you raw and real. Its the way I remember it. And nothing in prison is more important the the 4 pm stand up count. Go ahead and mess up it. Was interesting to watch. Great video
Larry lawtons channel has pretty much became my obsession at this point I love learning about the truth about prison life
Me too
You sir are one of my favorite channels. Im not gonna lie, when I first clicked on your gangster redemption videos, I thought it was gonna be a "woe as me I went to prison be sad for me" kind of a deal. Man was I surprised. You are a true man of character and honor. All of your arguments are well constructed and fantastic and I get lost in your channel on a daily basis. Its the highlight of my day when a Larry Lawton video pops up on my dash. God Bless, and thank you for your service.
Glad this was made. You covered every annoying mistake on that infographics video. As alumni of the Florida Department of Corrections I really enjoy your videos.
I always love people reacting to Infographics, I never trusted them since they posted a video on joining the US Airforce where almost every fact was wrong and the fact thier "US Airforce" video featured exclusively Russian jets.
Oh yeah I saw the reaction to it from C.W. Lemoine ^^
But yeah what I hate about infographics apart from getting facts wrong is the animations, editing and basically everything just looks annoying and just seems to distract me personally.
If that’s why you don’t like infographics then you should take what this guy says with skepticism.
He’s wrong a lot and I don’t know if he does it on purpose or just doesn’t realize it but he often acts as if his opinions or experiences are facts, simply because he doesn’t know better.
Infographics usually gets like 80% of the facts right, but on this channel if your actually fact checking, can be far worse.
Especially when it comes to religion, one of his videos I saw like a year ago still bugs the crap out of me today it was just so bad to the point I would consider what he claimed to be slander and lies.
@@justinmartin4662 sounds like you're a butthurt christian? can you list some examples of what Larry gets wrong?
The ink issue actually depends on the size of the town you're arrested in. I was "inked" in 2011 (fairly recently) in Hawthorne, Nevada. A true middle-of-nowhere kind of town. An interesting side note: That same jailed allowed cigarette smoking so long as you did it outside in the rec area, which is a huge no-no in most other places. You had to get arrested with your own cigs, you could borrow from the guards though if they smoked.
he's talking about prisons though, not jails.
22:22 the compatibility check is absolutely correct for the prison I work at. I'm an officer at a Sex Offender prison. We absolutely do separate the inmates based on their codes given to them at intake. In addition the inmates are never allowed to know what their codes are.
Not allowed to know what their codes are? I would hope/assume they also are not allowed to know w hat each code MEANS as well.
You know, there aren't many people that I am legit, incredibly interested in what you have to say. I will never land myself in a situation that lands me in prison, but it is incredibly interesting to learn how things go when things get real. I'm so glad I came across you and got to learn your journey.
shut up
Always love new Lawton content.
I ESPECIALLY love when you cover content like this, that is inaccurate and set the record straight.
Great video! Very informative! It is nice to hear a non-sugar coated explanation of what goes on in those kinds of joints. I'm going to have to watch more of your videos.
Out here telling the truth. I really like your content, Larry. I have managed to avoid the justice system ever since I was barely a teenager, but that same system and its vagaries have always fascinated me. Your abundant experience, first-hand accounts and frankly very engaging storytelling really keep me coming back for more.
“Truth”, based on his views and what he thinks, but not so much fact based. So many times, even in this video he’ll describe something that is just completely wrong or say “this doesn’t happen” when I’ve experienced it.
It’s usually more of an opinion, if you take everything at face value then your a fool and getting bad info.
These videos should just be entertaining.
@@justinmartin4662 no disrespect to Lawton, I’m sure he’s saying it how he believes it, and I do believe he’s telling the truth about what he says, but I also think that some of his statements (I’ve never been locked up so I can’t say for certain) might not apply to everyone. Because he was in maximum security prisons, which, usually, have more aggressive people, I’d imagine some of the stuff he faced was also more extreme then the experiences of most people, the ones in lower security prisons
Larry, I am a retired Jail Nurse from N. California. Thx for setting the record straight. Would have been honored to have you in "my house.". Thoroughly enjoy your posts & keep up the good work!
5:16. Correct. Even Sheriff's deputies delivering inmates to our prison are required to leave all of his weapons in his vehicle at the Sally port.
Mr larry i really appreciate you putting time and lots of info into this video i know it must've been really hard doing your time
But you did the crime and you did your time that's something to be proud of
Love your content i really enjoy it watching
You sir have a wonderfull day
And take care
Excellent video Larry, I've been watching for a while and still learn something new every video
Thanks and i will always tell the truth
Its a really good thing to have guys like Larry making videos about prison even if it only helps one person stay on or get on the right path it’s worth it! The younger generations get their information good and bad from social media platforms like TH-cam and when they are looking up the criminal side of things they will also see videos from quality guys like urself and it will absolutely help some people not become criminals. Tv stations made shows like scared straight and stuff like that trying to help kids but all that stuff was scripted, it had the vibe of getting yelled at by ur parents I’m sure it helped some people but ur videos are completely different you don’t judge people, you have an open mind, your honest about everything good and bad and one really important thing is telling the truth about how inmates are treated by the prison system in general, the guards, healthcare, how inmates treat each other, how inmates are treated by their crimes, the abuse they suffer, the cover ups by guards and all that stuff specially the abuse suffered from the system/guards is not something that a prison will talk about on a tv show they will never admit to a fraction of what is actually going on and when kids hear about the real abuse going on some will think twice and say to themselves I don’t ever want to go there.
Love the content, Larry. Thanks for all the work you put in.
Man you are making life so much easier to handle with these videos. Im soon to be doing a year or so for a federal crime. And these videos help me understand a little more whats to come. I thoroughly enjoy your story telling and narrating
Wow that's cool, by watching larrys videos it makes me also wanna go to prison or jail.
Federal prison is very different than State prison. Larry could open your eyes a little bit but you will never fully understand until you are there. Good luck on your white collar stay.
Prepare your a hole
Did you ever go
Hey larry, Just started binge watching your videos. Really informative and inspiring, keep it up!
Thank you, teh Gangster Redemption series is one of the most-watched on TH-cam
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Yes! I absolutely recommend the Gangster Redemption series. One of the most interesting, entertaining stories on TH-cam. Uncle La' really knows how to spin a yarn. Great storyteller. Larry is a good, stand up guy. I never met him, yet I respect him.

Keep'em coming, Larry!

Found out about you 2 years ago and haven't missed a video since. Keep up the amazing content Larry!
Really appreciate the insight Larry! You’re so well spoken, and vibrant talking. Thanks for the videos, and happy to see you living the best 😊
Great video, another concept would be your last 24 hours of prison! Do you exchange phone numbers with inmates? What phone calls do you make to prepare a ride or where to go? What final paperwork gets signed? Are your belongings you came with returned to you in the same condition?
Yes, I’d like to know about those things myself.
Yes, I’d like to know about those things myself.
Inmates don’t have phone numbers! 😆😂🤣. Also on parole, they aren’t supposed to hang out with other known criminals.
Well done on doing this, Larry. Anything that keeps people out of prison is good work.
Larry, have you done a video of the last day you were in prison, including your thoughts about what you had been through, feelings about being free, thoughts about what you would do and how you would feel after being released? And what you did during your first day of freedom?
That would be a cool video!
Yes he was thinking of robbing you once he gets out
I listen to every word you say. No way in hell I'm going to prison. Being extremely claustrophobic would make it even worse.
Inmates will make you forget the claustrophobia
Men make my sausage claustrophobic I throws up in dark holes
I've been binge watching your content lately and I can't even imagine some of the stuff if I had to go through it. I'm claustrophobic I don't know what I'd do if I had to go on con or go in holding cells with 5 other guys. Love the content!
I'm a recent subscriber. Only went to jail once but it was wrongfully. Ever since I'm very curious and find your videos very informative. So glad you were able to turn your life around and be successful.
Perfect and eye opening vids as always, never stop uploading please 👍🏻
Thanks, I appreciate that
Once upon a time. I landed myself in a bit of trouble. While I was locked up. My pops words of encouragement were " if you can do 3 days, you can do 30 years".
1st time ever on youtube after over 15k views I see no /zero thumbs down.
And that proves how real you are but also you the honesty and the way you present your videos is top of the range.
I've made bad choices, I still suffer now but I'm trying to hold on.

Have you ever heard of the man that was in solitary for like 2 years because the judge kept putting off his case or something like that? At a certain point they wouldn't allow the guy to shower or anything which caused damage to his health. When his lawyer told him what happened he thought his lawyer was joking because he lost track of time. Crazy story.
I Love learning from you Mr. lawton. Learn more about the system here then I did in school
That I guarantee. School doesn't like to tell the truth
When I went to Prison for first time, The Big House!! For at least 2hrs. They said after inly being there 15Minutes was 'Whats your religion, do you have any enemies, Where do you want your body sent, Medical tests, then finally go to Block then I slept for two hrs. I Maxed out in1999 And I Never looked back!! Never went again. I seen it all there & Yes I Could've Wrote a book about my experience. But I just let it go..... Don't need to be reminded of State Prison Anymore.. I'm glad!! 🙃
Well I’m glad you cleared that up. I was thinking I would check in and tell them I want a suite with a view, extra towels and book a massage for that evening. I was going to let the guard carry my luggage for me and wait as he made my bed and fluffed the pillows. I still can’t decide if I want Chinese food or Pizza for dinner. 😂🙈
LMFAO
Your channel is a benefit to human beings. You are a genuine man, and I am glad to share the world with one like you. Way to go. You took command of your life and you found a way. Cheers.
I like The Infographics Show as a fun channel with some interesting facts, and I like the way it's animated, but I don't take it too seriously. For the real deal, I go to Larry, LOL. I do like their "challenge" episodes, though.
Good idea, it is fun to watch but this one is way off.
I'm so glad that Larry the man can check these 'fact channels'.
You know Lawton tells the truth how it is!
Infographics makes a lot of mistakes, but that happens when you make so many videos on a large variety of subjects relatively quickly. Watching their videos is a good way to get some basic knowledge on a subject, but if one wants to actually get into said subject, videos like yours are the way to go to set things straight.
Agreed. It’s a great channel but it’s just a basic introduction to a subject. You have to research the subjects further to get the full story
Yeah, that's why I don't bother watching Infographics anymore, and just search channels/people that actually know the subject I'm looking for.
I enjoy their videos but I look at them as entertainment
The problem is if you can't trust one of their facts, you can't trust any of them. What is the point in watching one of these infographics shows if it could be total nonsense? it's worse than wasting your time because you might then repeat false info to someone.
There are a lot of these "quick facts" "top 10" cheaply made animated videos on youtube, and a lot of them are total bunk, made in foriegn countries for the ad revenue. All of them recorded with a silly way of talking almost like a hollywood announcer. (I've really grown to dislike that voice a lot of "documentary" youtubers put on, like the bald guy you see who's on like 10,000 youtue channels such as the biographics one - that bizzare overly dramatic, drawn out way of speaking trying to add more drama).
I'm just halfway through, but it looks like they mixed up the specifics big time here... and Larry's cuttin no corners in giving them ALL the criticism he can lol. But it's important people know the truth, you're doing the lords' work Larry and we appreciate it!
I love how you do the wrong answer sound effect made me laugh 😂😂😂😂
Larry, i am inspired by content like this. Makes me do everything i can to avoid prison but you also have some knowledge because you can’t control the future. Thank you for all the quality content man.
Also VET you tube channels to avoid outright misinformation
which is directly proportional to the total videos produced and the subject matter
Fascinating information and I appreciate your candor. Have you touched on mental health issues within the incarcerated population? Our country would rather lock up unwell individuals than medicate them. Then once they are in the system and violate because they rarely receive appropriate medication (too expensive they say) they just keep tacking on charges. I know personally, my oldest struggles with profound mental illness issues. I fought tooth and nail to get her the right meds in jail (paid for brand new unopened scripts) to absolutely no avail. Some officials care, most don't.
I love it Larry when you prove someone wrong
This one was easy Jackson. Hope you are well
Thanks for your videos!!!
Just started reading the book! It's amazing to hear the backstory behind everything. You have given me courage to turn my life around for good I couldn't imagine having to go through prison and be dehumanized like that.(Treated like SHIT)
The fact that there are videos prepping us for PRISON SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME! THIS IS INSANE!
Hey, I have another review idea if you're interested. Shadow raid from payday 2, the crew enter a private security company wearhouse to clear it out. Im kinda interested in seeing if this is realistic to the ones you did back when you did wearhouse robberies.
Other then that, I hope you're having a good day and enjoy the rest of your afternoon and evening.

Love watching these videos, started watching earlier this year and I wish I saw you before then, your videos are always fun to watch and I always leave with a little bit more knowledge about the prison system.
It's good to see you doing this sort of video because even if you only stop one young person from going into a life of crime it is one life you have saved not to say even preventing someone from getting hurt or offended again. As for your demonstration video, it is clear (to me) that it was made without much research.
Larry, I've been waiting for a video like this!!!!! You have inspired me, along with other youtubers like yourself, to turn my life around, thank you so much!!!!!! I really dont think you realize how many people's lives you have made an impact on with your channel!!!
Just stumbled across your channel. You’re an inspiration for so many people. Wish there were 10 of you! Amazing work man 👍

I was a Military Policeman, correctional specialist, at the United States Disciplinary Barracks, Ft. Leavenworth, KS (US Military) from 1975 to 1980. The military prison system is a lot different than civilian prisons. After leaving the army, I was hired by the BOP, Ft. Leavenworth. I worked there from 1983 to 2003.
I really don't plan on going to prison anytime soon, but even still I found this very informative.

I had an ex arrested for domestic disturbance and they took his DNA when he was arrested and they told him they had to have it because of his charge even though it's minor. I think its a good idea and will probably help alot of cold cases get solved.

Only a tiny percent of prisoners ever saw a jury of their peers. If they offer you 5 years on a 50 year charge guilty or innocent most will take the 5 years without a trial.
Their choice.

Man Larry that episode was wild!!!
The Infographics Show are the type of people to show the "you better hang up that computer call" scene and be like: "This is exactly what prison is like"
Thanks for the great video larry, im really glad that you brought up how long classification takes... for example i did 4 years for a violent offence when i was 19. but it took at least 3 days of waiting in an intake facility somewhere in texas (near houston i think... its been awhile) just to get to the point of being brought to the actual prison. I really think infographics should shut up about the prison system.
