      I had a slight drug problem back in the early 2000's, until about 2014. Due to me reverting to retail thefts to finance my habit, I found myself doing five bits in the Illinois department of corrections. Luckily, being a non - viloent inmate, who basically followed the rules, I was put into minimum securtiy joints, as well as being sent to work camps to do my time at. The one bad experience that I had with a correction officer was this. Back in 2007, when you were able to smoke cigarettes in prison, lead to me having a C.O. assault me, in an unusual way. I guess that I had made a sarcastic comment to the C.O., and he took my lit cigarette, and then proceeded to take the lit end of it, and press it onto the bare skin, on my right arm. He did not let up, either, he kept it pressed pretty hard, onto my skin, and kept it there, for at least five seconds. The resulting pain and burn that resulted from that, was pretty damn bad. I tried to make a complaint about the situation, but was totally ignored. That was my worst experience with a C,O., that I had experienced in the I.D.O.C. And, I had also experienced the misery of having 100%, Ice cold water, while taking a shower. As well as then having it revert to 100% hot water, while takiing a shower. Unfortunately, there was really nothing you can do, to remedy these situations. As they say, snitches get stiches. And it is would be bad enough, to rat on a fellow inmate. I could only imagine what would happen from ratting on a correcitonal officer. As they essentially have complete control over your daily life, and they can make it quite misery filled. The one thing that I can say is that I am done with that life, and that I can now look back onto it, and be relieved that those days are in my rearview mirror. I have a lot of stories, just like this guy. I wish that I could capitolize on them, just like Larry Lawton has done...

      @Brian K. The government claims to be Fair and Just. You're justifying brutality and dehumanization in a system that should not contain such things. If you exit a criminal world to go into a legalized criminal world, rehabilitation is literally impossible. The moment the government takes you away, you're in their hands. They advertise that you'll pay in Time, not in blood. Nowhere in the law you see a claim that urinating on inmates is allowed. You can't do that to "normal" people, this should be no different.
      Don't let criminals off the hook, but treat them like humans. Death sentences were significantly more humane than this, and that was considered too much.

    What he is saying is 100% truth. I've seen some of the same shit... I got denied a job at a prison because the warden asked me what id do if an inmate was crying and scared and asked me what id do. I told them id talk to them as a human being while keeping my distance as a guard but would not forget he or she is just as much human as I am. I was denied the job based on that answer.

What a saga of the unrelenting battle between you and the warden, enlisting every trick in the book: extreme confinement, torture, dehumanization, and bribery. None could stop you from tenaciously fighting against a corrupt system in the pursuit of justice and reform. Your actions were nothing short of heroic. I truly believe your moving stories and ever growing platform will make a major impact on reforming a broken system

    • @josephhunt7920
      @josephhunt7920 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I think that my statement may have been misinterpreted.
      Down south we often use the word “sorry” as a term to describe someone or something that doesn’t meet a particular standard.
      Examples are; “sorry ass sum bi***”, “sorry old fu**”, “that’s a sorry damn……truck, tree, tool, tire, boat, banana, loaf of bread…… I could go on.
      My comment is a dig at key-turners.
      What my old man was saying is that no matter what you’ve done that led you to jail, the fu**er who turns the key has done way worse. In other words, a man that keeps another man’s doors locked is more of a criminal than the person behind the door.

I've been in a few times, granted u don't expect your stay to be a vacation but the conditions of jails, prisons etc in TX is terrible and is absolutely getting worse, I've been trying to find a way to do my part for prison reform, I talk to so many people on the inside and the inhumanity these men suffer fills me with rage. Regardless of why someone is in doesn't mean they are any less human and the treatment by these crazy and cruel guards and the system in general has to be addressed. Love your work man, God Bless.

    Hey Larry. I am retired from EMS. My last 8 years were in Edgefield County. I've been to Edgefield FDC quite a few times. I saw alot of questionable things, but never saw anything obvious. I'm sorry you went through that.
    God bless you man!

      That's literally his job right now. If you finish the series he talks about his Reality Check Program he started in 2010 where he talks about what prison is actually like to troubled youth and people with misdemeanors. It's even been court mandated by several judges to juveniles to watch his videos. He starts by walking into a classroom and says "how many of you could hide a prison shank up your ass?" Then when the giggling dies down, he follows it up with "I did, and so will you if you want to survive where I've been." According to the statistics he gives, 90% of people in the program don't go back to jail.
