Happy Thursday to everyone. Check out my Podcast, "The Real Deal w/Larry Lawton" on all major podcast platforms. New episodes every Monday and Friday.
I seriously look forward to every video, and listen to each episode of The Real Deal as soon as it comes out!
Was facing 365 years in jail for non violent drug offenses in Baltimore. God was with me and I was acquitted of all charges this last Monday. I'm gonna keep praying for me and other people stuck there. Happy St Patty's Day Larry!
One question I always wonder about is why don't the chomos just form their own gang so nobody would fuck with them? Wouldn't it be logical to do that if you were a chomo?
Hey Larry i've watched like 20 of your videos in a few days. It's great. I still have a question about the last video. Do you think Cain Velasquez will join a gang? Keep in mind he has a brown pride tattoo on his chest.
What are your thoughts on Ross Ulbricht
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. ❤
How nice of you, bibles make the best rolling papers
Hi Larry ,
My name is Travis from Canada
Ive spent over 7 years in the jail system up here and fought with my own problems for years
happy to say ive cleaned up my act and support you completely in your effort to inform and help younger people to divert their lives away from gangs and jails
all the best larry i really enjoy your content alot :)
Thank you and glad to see you are out and making good choices. We both know, jails and prisons is no way to live When you can tell the youth about yourself and try and guide them in the right direction.
I can’t get enough of your podcast, thank you for putting it all together. I have a family member that used to work at USP Lompoc, Canon city and the Super Max. We used to drink Pruno when he got home from work as one of the inmates on his fire crew gave him the recipe. Thank you again for explaining how it all works.
Larry you've got to watch Gordon Ramsey makes a bakery in a prison. He's probably the most successful chef in England and makes a bakery staffed with prisoners to help them learn skills. It's awesome... and free on TH-cam.
Watched a bit of that myself some time ago. Was interesting and I do agree, would be fun to see Larry review it and state his opinions about it. 👍
Cool. I should have a cook-off with him. Prison style
@@Shpoony Can you please email me that video larry@realitycheckprogram.com thanks? Please post this video and help educate people.
Most successful chef in the uk. Gordon Ramsay is Scottish.
That sounds interesting.
This is why I subscribed to your channel. You've been nothing but honest with your viewers. The best thing anybody can do is take your advice. Keep those videos coming Larry.
Wow, this is some seriously underrated content. We're lucky to have you Larry.
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.
Mistakes happen. But if your people are constantly back in after 9 months, you might want to find some new friends. Some people will never change. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses.
You're a real friend, a good guy. Don't let them bring you down though man. Some people are just not good for you and at some point you just have to let them go. Hopefully your friends will change before it gets to that point. Thanks for trying to help them out . A lot of people don't have a real friend like you.
This man is building an empire from his prison experience. Lots of subscribers, views, podcast, videos, man! Happy to see him turn his life around
Ok
I spent my early 20s in Arkansas prisons and learned very quickly that being in the AB's good graces is a good practice.
100X more so in California...
How would they react to half-white, half red-dot Indian? I think that line would crack em up, but I look Mexican.
☘️
Just found your channel Larry. I want to show some gratitude and respect ✊for the work you’re doing here. You cover a lot of topics to educate and even remind some of us of how world works on the inside. I really enjoy the gruesome stories and when you explain the different protocols for inmate conduct or any kind of count downs for various topics. All very interesting and I’m looking forward to getting through all these videos. Thanks Man
@Larry Lawton, I am a sports/opinion writer for a newspaper, you have taught me so much, I mentioned your podcast in my weekly column and a bit of what I’ve learned, so good!! Thank you.
Took me a long time to understand all the ins and outs of federal prison system. Who was who and who did what. At the end of the day it did help me out knowing about prison and how it works. If you are out there doing wrong, pay close attention. Larry gives you the information you need to get an idea of how things are and work and who you need to go to for help. Real talk too. Was interesting and fun to watch. Great video
One of your best videos Larry. I find it absolutely fascinating how the prison system is it's own world. Sobering and enlightening to say the least. Been watching you since the beginning. Great advice and have a great day. Thanks again for all the content.
One of the most informative videos you've put out so far, really great
Thank you, I figured I'd explain how things work. Please pass it on.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief where did the mafia guys fit in or did just everyone just leave them alone
There's something about Larry's voice that's super asmr to me lol. Very comforting not joking. Hell of a channel thanks man
I've been watching your videos for a long time since I found out about your channel from that top 10 movie accuracy about prisons and thieves And honestly I'm so proud of you somebody who turned their life around to help others by giving a little known site into the penal system and how messed up it can be and how it can be improved
My dad was a Dentist that worked in a (now closed) Prison. So many stories I could tell you...probably why I like watching Larry's vids 😅
LARRY BIG LARRY LETS GOOOOO
YOOOOO What's up
What’s up Larry AKA THE G.O.A.T
@@Zoxxies Larry Lawton is not a goat he is a human
I called Larry a goat which means “The Greatest of All Time”
@@Zoxxies then just say greatest of all time, he could have gotten the wrong idea and thought you called him an animal, which would be quite perplexing,
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite TH-cam channel by far.
Good to see you Larry. Always entertaining and inspiring stuff on this channel.
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 had a teacher that was a prison guard. Explains his patience.. lol
I'm in work on my break watching this, great video by the way good work
Thanks, I appreciate you
Larry, every once in a while I like to post this simple message. I respect you.
Always love to see new uploads from Larry!
Hey Larry, how are elderly convicts (let's say 70+) treated by the other convicts? Are they seen by some as weak/easy prey, or are they generally shown respect as most people have been raised to respect your elders?
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.
I think he made a video on it already
@@zacmeurer7749 you are right.
Nah no one bothers them
@@paytonzambito8579 what's a bus pot?
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.
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 prolly beat the shit outta 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.
@@scifibri2376 Damn dude that’s a shitty situation, Im glad you got through it to tell your story. I’m currently dealing with a no contact order myself but thankfully the other person isn’t a complete bitch and isn’t doing everything they can to ruin my life lol. I also wanted to represent myself instead of going through the hassle of a hiring a lawyer. I ended up getting one which was definitely the right call cause if I was defending myself I’d probably be in jail right now XD. Also learned a valuable lesson to never say shit without a lawyer.
@@scifibri2376 sounds like she needed an acid facial. you'd do some years, but she'd always look like the monster she really is.
Wow I’m impressed. Keep up the good work buddy. Big fan. I work long hours and when I get home and I’m able to see one of your postings you definitely make my day. Joseph from the Bronx
One of the best on the platform. Spitting straight facts daily. Keep up the good work Larry and keep using your platform to spread the injustices of the system! ❤
Larry, I've been watching your videos back when you were under 10K subs. I want to thank you for helping shed light on the injustices of our justice system.
I try to avoid publicly voicing any political opinions, but we need to focus more on rehabilitation.
In another video, you really got me thinking about private prisons. Pointing out that they are corporations and corporations' goal is to make a profit, so why would they ever care too actually rehabilitate.
Thank you for opening my eyes, love the vids, and keep going strong. I'll always be rooting for you.
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.
@@gfys756 well, in Finland (Funland) there's no reason to get back on crime after jail. Biggest media outlets hire you to make videos, you become a writer, TV contacts you for interviews and everyone thinks you are cool. Tbh i considered going to jail at one point for real lol
Love what your doing here Larry our justice system needs fixed 🙌
In a big way. Reform
your education system more so imo
Nine11 was an inside job with the country in my name. 6 years of phony shoe-tings that magically stopped when the coof scam started and now the Rush-uhh scam, when will you folks get it??? That's only a few examples too.
The guys in ADX Larry mentions in other videos are most likely pat-see's.
@@NoNORADon911 who the fuck asked
As usual, a great show and very interesting content. Thank you for sharing your story and life. I can only hope that it changes people.
I love learning about this kind of stuff from you! Not that ill ever need it of course.
But it's great to learn what goes on inside of such a place in detail, from a guy that has seen and heard it all with his own eyes 'n ears! Thank you for the videos!
Never say never!
I don't part take in any activities that are likely to see me go to prison but there are things I would be willing to do time for.
@idiotology5568 Gary Plauche
I'm loving the content Larry!!!!! Keep it up!!
Thanks, I like to educate people.
Thanks Larry. I learnt a lot with this video. For those of us who've never been inside, it's an eye opener. So much to deal with apart from just the days inside. It's a cruel system.
The cruelty is warranted for most of them.
Tbh one of the only channels that I watch every new video they make ps. Love the new video larry!!
Great video Larry - keep it up. Love to see one about how to pick a lawyer or how to know if you got a good one.
Great video as always my man. Greetings from Japan. You should do a review of Japanese prisons they are pretty brutal as well.
Man Larry, love watching your channel grow. Thanks for another vid!
Thanks Joosy. I appreciate your support.
yooooo larryyyyy much love to you man love the vids as always love the beats aswell keeps stuff fresh
Let’s give a round of applause for best best story teller on TH-cam
My step dad growing up was in the Mexican mafia. At one point he was a shot caller. His stories are crazy. Would tell me stories of someone stabbing him and him pulling the shank out and stabbing the guy back. Bunch of stories he would tell me. He eventually went back. And is serving another prison sentence
Larry sharin his knowledge with us. Interesting stuff my dude
Thanks, I try to keep people informed and educated.
Not sure how thos got recommended but great break down of the structure. Easy to understand and very informative. Great content!
Hi Larry I have started watching ur videos and I am liking them a lot mate, the way you tell the storys is brilliant and I wish u all the best in what ya do big man, a massive godbless to you Larry, netty Lee,
Hell yeah Larry, always love your videos. Hope the family is doing well.
Hey Larry, I have watched a number of your videos already. Great stuff.
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.
I respect you a lot sir. Thanks for sharing all those stories with us young bucks. Greetings and love from 🇩🇪.
Not ganna lie. You need to help narrate documentaries. Your knowledge is so in depth and I learn something every time. So real. It’s no wonder why you’re so respected.
Medical providers have to be licensed in some state. If they’re federal employees, they can work at any federal facility without licensing in that particular state.
They are licensed clinicians. That’s a requirement.
I was a VA employee. I worked in two different states at one point. My state license covered both.
It’s not an issue of federal prisons getting short stick. You are seeing licensed professionals. The quality of care- different story.
Hey Larry, just to let you know, you've genuinely, officially become my main source of information for the American justice system. In the UK, the only real Insight we get is from the occasional prison/heist/gangster movie or the odd Netflix series (which you gotta take with a pinch of salt of course!). My partner is American, originally from Sacramento. So I get bits here and there from her. Just wanted to let you know, your reach is wide, effective and invaluable man. Even to us here in jolly old England! ✌️🙏😎
You need to understand that Larry is talking about his time in Federal Prisons which are operated by the U.S. Government. The individual State Prisons, {I did 24 years in Texas}, vary widely and are much, much, different from the Fed.
@@roguemerlin1969 @Rogue Merlin 19 Got a vague understanding of the difference, the terms state + federal are steadily becoming less 'Huh?' the more I watch! Appreciate the insight though dude. Feds are more commonly high/max right? More to do with political/bank robbery/money stuff + federal law. States deal more with violence/varying laws based on the area?? Feel free to tell me how wrong I am 😂🤣 Aways interested/keen to learn! One thing I appreciate from Larry's stuff is the zero BS approach. 👌✌️
@@SeagoGuitarist There are still a lot of differences between the rules and conditions between them. Who holds your trial and where you are sent is determined by which laws, Federal or State, you broke. Bank robbery, money laundering, counterfeiting, organized crime are generally Federal, while most murders, assaults, burglary, most armed robbery's, thefts, and others are State.
@@roguemerlin1969 That was my loose understanding, although more concisely written 😜. I know laws are more nuanced between states too. Different ages for certain activities, different gun regulations etc etc. It's definitely a lot for us over here in England. Basically, I figure it doesn't hurt to brush up on state laws wherever you visit. 👌✌️. There's a few places I'd love to visit for the music. Nashville, Texas, Detroit, Vegas. One day, when that day comes I'll be doing a lot of reading that's for sure! 😂 Appreciate your insight dude. Take it easy. 😊😎
Larry just found your channel and love your videos. Keep up the great work brother.
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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam 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!💖
Quick question Lar, maybe I missed it but what does "power" mean in a prison with the gang? You say one is more powerful than the other but what does that translate to on a dily basis? Thanks. Love your channel and your work!
Control of drugs and money.
@@MrJohnylompoc sorry fot late reply. Thanks!
hey larry i love your videos its interesting learning about the American prisons i wonder if its much different to prisons in the uk, what would you think?
I am sure it is close
Those prisons in England are also no joke at all.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief isn’t it dangerous for CMS to deal with inmates like they, they could be taken out with a snap of the finger. Have their been circumstances where they’ve been taken hostage?
Thanks for breaking this all down, I have never been to prison before but somehow I find this fascinating.
Great video Larry as always keep up the great work 👍
I did 72 hours and my local county jail and what's actually insane is the person that was my bunky was just indicted for killing someone and hiding them under their porch I about shit when I found that out from the guards. Because mine was just a very low level crime not even a misdemeanor but I had to serve 72 hours so I don't know why in the hell they put him with me
That's really fucked up yo they set u up fr man that's a 1st where you from?
Really? I don't know why they would do that either, considering the legal liability and potential career wrecking that could happen if you got hurt. And I especially don't understand (and also don't believe that they would tell you about it.) So on that note, I call bullshit on your story.
@@roybell415 yea you got a point also they would have housed him in a different unit
@@Chris-ih2jx Exactly 💯
Bullshit
I would love to hear you talk about your interaction in more detail with all the shotcallers. I just want to hear more about how respected you were in regards to these guys.
Great page Larry. Keep up the good work mate.
The other night you came into a live stream I frequent and it was the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me I’ll never forget it
The longest 12 hours of my life was driving the truck around the compound with the shotgun. Prisons always have those guys falling asleep and hitting the fence on accident because you cannot stop it's just a circle after circle staring at the metal fence. Miserable
I never thought about that but makes perfect sense. If they made the same guy do it every shift they’d go crazy. Podcasts would be a lifesaver
@@geoffreybrooks5207 you can't have your phone or any device because it's a secure area. They take that sht seriously so no podcast. You can't even have a chew or a vape. The worst is if there is snow because the snow glistening on the razor wire is pretty for a second but 12 hours it's trippy.
Wow, yeah man you weren’t kidding, that sounds terrible for sure
@@garyb6219 oh you can quit? It would mean that the cars and the house would be repo…. That’s not how the world works
Larry always coming in with the great videos
Thanks, Jojo, I appreciate that.
This guys has a very good understanding of the bureau, this info is 100 percent correct
Hey Larry! Have you thought about doing a video on ADX Florence?
Yes, I am going to Colorado in August so I will see about doing that then
Theres a reason it's a supermax mate no one is meant to know anything about it for numerous reasons in particular escape attempts
I love the podcast. Will there ever be a video version of the podcast?
Great question, the answer is YES, we are working on this now. Be soon. Thanks for your support and feel free to email me at Larry@realitycheckprogram.com
Very informative! well done Larry.
Hey, man. I'm impressed. I was a mental health counselor in a WA state prison for a while. Very interesting work. I worked in a 96 inmate unit of men with mental health issues, but who in prison doesn't? They had one man cells and inmates had keys to their cells. It was a different kind of housing unit. Some of the young guys told me that at classification they were told to say the "heard voices" so that they could be placed in the SOU--Special Offenders Unit. Sex offenders had their own weird housing with its own sets of issues. Learning a lot from your videos. Brings back buried memories.

Interesting how many differences there are between state and federal systems. 75% the same, but that last 25% is big.
Hey Joel, it sure is
Hey LARRY!!! WHAT THE HELL BUDDY! I was expecting my weekly news recap after work on my way home but you never posted a video of one?? U still doing that? I hope so!! I love all of ur content but u should keep that weekly news update going! I hope you see this message! Take care, and keep safe Buddy! God Bless, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin!!!
Great Show, you speak very eloquently. It's always a great hear.
Hi Larry,
Thank you for this. You show something that is not learned in school or in any formal setting. Unfortunately the only way to learn these different hierarchies is to go to prison. Question what area or department does the commissary fall under? Obviously not security but is it under administrative staff?
Dang ol larry lawton love this man 🤘❤
Dang ol secret Texas ranger you are
Thanks, I appreciate your support
Always interested to see the difference between what happens in the USA compared to the UK. This is a very interesting vid.
Thanks, Please pass it on.
C.o. sorry that it was long just for being truthful and caring for the con. Bless you for how you are.
Excellent video Larry really informative
The idea of “clearing up” the prison by taking a gang, or taking the hardest MFs out of one place and then putting them all over the f-ing country to form other sects or factions is just mind boggling. Love the work you do Larry. I know you play as hard as you work, so no need to remind you take care of yourself. I think they broke the mould after they made you. One of a kind. Haha a crooked diamond in the rough ✌️👊
“I have an idea... maybe. If we take them. And the put them everywhere. We can reform this institution. Not just here either. We can do it everywhere....” 💵💵💵
Isn’t that true?
You lose your rights. To the point of almost slavery. Almost. If you’re lucky?
They probably thought... open up an avenue to, or in order to move people around, initially big thing. Later common practice. But. It was just. At the time. (Just in the scene of fairness and justice). Now it just never stopped.
Yes, it be more rational to put them all together in one spot then they could keep an eye on them, and their ...influence wouldn't be in multiple prisons.
@@Puzzoozoo haha you aren’t even being paid for this and you still make more sense and have a better idea than these over paid “high ranking professionals”... it’s such a joke
hey larry my brother just got locked up for drug and gun charges. i want to help but i dont really know the law so i dont know if i can😞
Only way you can help is paying for a lawyer
I am sure he has a lawyer. You need to be there for visits, $, and support.
@@Gelorides thanks for the help
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief thank you for the help i appreciate and respect you💯
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief I meant paying for a better lawyer than a public defender
Very comprehensive and simplistic explanation thank you
Awesome vid Larry...!
Adam from Palm Beach County...great job!!
"Who knows wtf goes on... Obviously, Epstein case!" Lmao
All these videos are greatly appreciated made by a now ego-free man,
Yes being a gangster is just an ego trip iced with a very high level of sociopathy nothing else,
Money alone don't worth the risk.
All these hitmen nowadays average 18-24 years old.
You will never i mean never see a full patch doing tough shit.
Acting tough yes but that's it.
Remember kids,
The one that look the toughest and brag the most are the ones that most of the time cannot harm someone physically unless he is with few of his peers.
The real tough ones that know they can damage you are quiet and very quiet.
Always judge a book by its cover and its the usually the other side around,,
100% correct. Let's just say I "may" know a civilian white guy who is 57 now and I "may" know for a fact that he has been stacking bodies since he was 12 years old.
Scotland still here Larry. Been watching you since the start, still love the videos.
Thanks for the long-time follow. Please pass on the video.
Great content thanks for sharing the information.
I appreciate your support
I agree that the prison system is messed up. Unfortunately, the American people voted Senile Joe Biden for president. There is no hope for correcting the system.
Well Draft Dodger Donnie had four years to clean it up and did nothing either.
@@Polostar79 The draft system is slavery anyways. Who wants to die for some politicians?
i have a feeling this is a great video. love your videos man.
Thanks, I appreciate your support.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief no problem bro. it also amazes me that you still can reply to peoples comments instead of posting and just leaving the video sit there. this is the second time you've replied to me. thank you bro great video btw
Very informative thanks Larry!
Interesting. I have 14 years experience and am familiar with the gangs. You are spot on. Some new to me and some left out as well. Very interesting.
always a good time to watch larry lawton
Great show, Larry. I gleaned a lot. Question: Where does LCN stand in the prison gang food chain? I didn't hear you mention them. Thanks and congrats on a really great show.
Very low. The LCN has no power in prison. When I was in it was the South Siders who are the soldiers for made guys in the Mexican Mafia. By far they were the group no one wanted to fight.
This was cool to hear about. :) Makes it more clear how prison is very much its only entity and has it own mini government.
Very very informative! I have always wondered!
I just got my copy of the book! How can I get it signed? I really love ur work bro, keep up the prison reform!
First, I'd like to say I appreciate the videos you upload and the stories you share brother. Truly eye opening. Thank you. And I also have a question man, if you can make a video on whether you've ever seen somebody go at the Warden, whether it be physical or verbal. Or have you seen a Warden act out of character? Again, I appreciate the videos brother, keep it up. Respect 💯
This is better than that National Geographic prison show! I’m subscribing 👍🏽
Big Larry Lad! Loving these videos
Very informative Larry 👍🏻👍🏻
I knew plenty of plenty of family friends who worked as prison guards. You did a fine job on your video. I hope your life is better now that you're no longer in prison. Take care and I wish you well.
Thanks for saving me the trip dude !!
Now I know how prison works
I worked in a Max-Security prison as a teacher. It was a weird position to hold. I ran a G.E.D. class. I wasn't really part of any hierarchy. I had one boss in another prison. I had all the training of a guard, except firearms. I was seen as a "Civvie" by most inmates, not really part of the "staff," so they treated me better than most. It was a weird sort of limbo, and it paid very badly. Inmates seemed to understand that I was there to help them, and I got very little crap from them because of it.
