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...
Poor Larry, you can tell he‘s having flashbacks when telling about the experience of the guard urinating on him, the way he repeats himself you can almost feel him reliving his trauma
@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.
Brother, you got some guts. You faced your demons, and make a habit of talking shit about them. You can vocalize your worst fears, and RELIVE them, while telling the story well. Respect.
My father, a Green Beret who spent a few months on the local police force after he left the military, used to always say; “The only man more sorry than an inmate is the man who turns his key”. I never truly knew what he meant until I watched this episode. Thank you!
Fuck you. So a guard is sorry he urinates one some of he own free will. Yeah I'd be really sorry and sit down to have a heart to heart with the inmate. Go fuck yourself. If the guards does'nt like abusing and degraiding people why not quit

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. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

They wouldn't let my parents in the room and I fought with everything I had, even the nurses couldn't hold me they had to strap me down face down.

Larry, you are truly an inspiration. This episode was some shit straight out of The Shawshank Redemption. 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
Wow...I had no idea how bad things are. We desperately need prison reform. Thank god this channel exists. Keep up the good work, Lawton. Never give up, keep fighting to reform the system. I support you.
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief I know it might be hard to fight for criminal justice reform in a time where being open minded is not many people's forte. I guess all I can say is keep fighting Lawton, you're doing great. Thank you for opening our eyes to the horrors of America's prison system.
Rogan already had a prisoner who had incredible injustices done to him. Granted it would be great to have him on too and everything is good, but that won't be enough.
Oliver Clothesoff being dead is easy, Being alive and seeing the people you hate be more successful.. now that’s where the pain is Btw: I think Larry is genuinely the rarest of CZcamsrs you don’t get many of these let me tell you. Too many jake Paul’s about
Guard: “Do you think anyone’s listening to you?” Lawton: Apparently, 130k+ people. * I hope you make that change to this cruel system with this platform. We are willing to back you up no matter what!
I spilled the beer on accident I agree with that to a certain extent but what this man has experienced and saw is horrible. Even the worst of the worst criminals deserve even a bit of respect.
@Sovereign hilarious? I dont think you're looking at the situation realistically. How funny would it be if someone tied your son down naked and pissed in their face, or any loved one. Look man if you into piss play, that's one thing but I dont see how basically being sexually assaulted is funny.
Larry you are obviously a highly intelligent individual with a gift for telling your life story. Keep using your powers for good not evil. I, too, think this should be made into a professional movie or documentary!!
This man deserves so much more then he has, yeah he has a sketchy past but he has has more then paid for it. thank you Larry for sharing your story with all of us. I know I've learned a lot from watching you just in the last week.
Nobody cares about the inmates though because everyone thinks they're the ones in the wrong no matter what Sadly these people are bigger criminals than the ones they're supposed to reform and help
@@CadenCunningham_ right, cause if your dad had a part in this he would just tell you? Of course he would say this doesnt happen, every guard says it doesn't.
@@CadenCunningham_ Guys. Guys. OBVIOUSLY this never happened, because as everybody knows, if one person claims it never happened, THEN IT NEVER HAPPENED. LOOOOOOOOOOGICCCCCCCCC!!!!!
Larry ,found your channel just two days ago and can’t stop watching. My uncle spent 20 years in a max, I’d ask for stories any chance I could. I heard all about the insanity. Keep up your waged war of righteousness brother! 👊
Larry I used to be one of those people that thought prisoners shouldn’t get any kind of comfort but you’re changing my mind rapidly, such torture and inhumane treatment no wonder people come out more angry and hateful and better criminals. You have truly touched my heart I can sense that you are genuinely a kind loving soul. The atrocities that were done to you sent chills down my spine I am truly sorry you had to endure such senseless torture and abuse.
@Christian Allen *For PROFIT prisons* Dont be dumb, prisons like these should be OUTLAWED and replced with prison reform where they try to FULLY reintregrate people instead of torturing them.
These videos matter so much. A lot of people who watch these are youth, the next leaders and businesspeople of the world. These stories of hardship and brutality by the system will hopefully make tomorrow's leaders more compassionate toward people in these situations and more willing to change the system. You are doing good work Larry.
Man, wow, this really can touch a soul. You're a powerful proof of how humanity can be good when taking responsibility, no matter where someone comes from
"There's a fine line between an inmate and a guard." Most of the bullies I went to high school with either ended up as inmates or as guards at the prison a few miles from where we graduated.
The line can be finer than you know. I’ve been both a high ranking lieutenant at prison. I’ve also been an inmate. Fortunately, I didn’t have the “John Wayne” syndrome that you see often among guards. But it’s a crazy story.
@Larry Lawton As a fellow man with trauma I appreciate you being vulnerable and so brave. It makes me so much more comfortable talking about my own abuse. Not to toot my own horn but I’m also a pretty big tough guy and I often have problems trying to be tough and vulnerable at the same time. You’re proof I can be. Thank you brother.
The way Larry got through prison proves you can do anything in life. This mans mindset is inspirational the shit hes had to deal with... really something
Mr. Lawton. Thank you for sharing your stories. I myself found out about you shortly after doing a little time in county. 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.
I do agree you can be gangsta until that guard yes hey piep (or your last name/number when locked up) you have no idea what is going on up until the date you leave the place anytime they call your name (or last name/number) your not sure what's so you sit there and wonder I get flashbacks of my time in prison I spent 4yrs behind bars/ steel doors
There has never been a better time for this quote Larry. Please feel the healing energy in one of the most powerful Harry Potter quotes there is. You're a very good person Larry. "You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." - Sirius Black (Harry Potter Movie)
Applying for law schools in September 22, prison reform is something this country desperately needs. Thank you for telling your story and exposing the corruption. I hope I can work with prison reform agencies when I’m out of law school. God bless.
@@thelonegunman2622 Same format, same joke, possibly didn't look to see if anyone had done the same comment... wouldn't be surprised if it is stolen, and wouldn't be ashamed if I'm wrong.
It's always been like this. Hell it's been worse in previous history. Humans are just chimps that know how to communicate a bit better than everything else. Don't be surprised when you get a few that love violence
I've been watching you for weeks. This was the video that moved me to subscribe. This was the video that moved me to write my first comment on CZcams. You are THAT powerful, man. Keep up the fight, and I hope this little gesture tips the scales in your favor. Flip the switch; let's show them we are human beings!
You did something bad. Not evil. You didn’t deserve to be humiliated, abused or hurt. I’ve grown up wanting to be a cop/correctional officer. This makes me wanna be one more to be the guys you talked about when you were in prison in Florida. The nice guy. The one that has a heart. This stuff breaks my heart!
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!
U are listening to a criminal point of view, think about prison guards who have to take care of different types of inmates how much distress would they be facing
@@jwall1138 Okay ..... Ummmm in my country (India ),there is a man in jail putting out a plea to the government for getting raped by prison inmates. The irony is that the man himself is in jail for gang raping a 22 year old girl when he was a bus conductor and then proceeding to put a iron rod in her genitals which ultimately led to her death. Do you still think the person deserves a plea? Hasn't he done something bad in the society to be put in a jail at the first place? What if the victim was ur family member, wouldn't u want the assaulter to rot in hell after what he did?
Larry, I have listened to several of your topics. This one is the scariest to date. It gave me insight into the lengths that the prison system will go to break someone down that causes them trouble. You were angry, and you caused them trouble every way you could. Some justified, some questionable. I learned from this episode that doing your time and minding your own business is good advice and is less painful (from another episode). Keep doing videos. The information is very valuable.
@@roach5187 that's not the point. prison is not meant for pissing on the face of people. the guards are SUPPOSED to be good people and often turns out they just are legalized psychopaths
nicola cornolti and I agree with you on that but u can’t Deny he fucked people over for 5 odd years huh? Are you saying people like pedophiles don’t deserve that, hell, they deserve much worse. What I’m saying is that he wouldn’t even be there if he didn’t steal millions of dollars
@@roach5187 Yeah, because stealing millions of fucking paper we call currency means people deserve to be tortured. The wardens who do that shit are at risk with the government a million times worse than Larry... Larry himself said that he wouldn't want to see anyone go through that torture, even the wardens. The torture of any living thing is more wrong than any crime. If you think otherwise, then go ahead and rob a few hundred places with necklaces and rings and when you get tortured to the point of insanity, only then tell me that you still think that torture is a fucking cake walk.
@phremagnus2517 He was a criminal. A thief. He was not a sociopath or psychopath. He did not commit a crime like a sex offense, murder, kidnapping. He never shot anyone, stabbed anyone, or caused physical injury. He then took responsibility for the crimes he committed and acknowledged that what he did was wrong. He did his time and now works with at risk youth to help them make better life choices than he did and tries to help people. Please explain to me how that makes him a monster?
Daufeni Perez piss off those people are doing their jobs and sure they do bad things but you’re overlooking all the good ones and also they don’t run the prison you’ve probably never one on one talked to one they see people being shot by drug dealers too so don’t pretend they only dish out pain and not receive it
I was a truck driver that delivered Hons furniture once upon a time to the prison of Yazoo, Mississippi. I will never forget the experience; it's the only active prison I've ever seen the inside of and they could smell me coming a mile away. I actually HEARD the inmates call me "Whitey" from the gate. "They" actually through me in my trailer with an inmate to unload it. I was under the impression I was the only white soul in a 50 mile radius. I'm glad to hear this facility was less traumatic for you.
Shit Larry, if i am getting chills just hearing you tell us this i cant imagine how bad it is for you. But we gotta keep fighting till we change this rotten system, one day you will be old and tell your grandkids how you saved many lives of the generations that went to prison after you "and kids let me tell you a story...and i will never forget..." Anyways just amazing what you do, i have the highest respect.
Just read the article in the arctic beacon and I really admire your mission and your dedication to exposing the messed up corruption in American prisons.
What he's doing here is no less than what you suggested. But instead of talking to 40 people at a time, he reaches hundreds of thousands of people worldwide through CZcams.
@@AskMeddi I agree, but also think having someone who speaks the way he does, especially just his relaxed nature where he's able to swear and be himself, would definitely capture the attention of Highschoolers.
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.
I've seen people get caught up with the feds over mail. A lot of idiots don't realize how serious that stuff is. Mad love to you for sharing and using your life experience to help others! Keep doing what you do bc you're making a difference
I found your videos about 3 days ago, and Mr. Lawton let me tell you, your story telling is amazing to say the least. I hope one day you can make a film outta all this for us to /see. Thank you for your stories and I’m extremely happy you turned your life around sir.
When an actual terrorist get a private cell with a PS4 to keep him occupied. He killed kids dammit, he wouldnt do very well in prisons like what lawtons talking about here. (im sure you know who im talking about) But yeah, we have a very forgiving prison system, for better or worse.
@@snowjix that is definitely a problem, but i'd rather have a system where they try to rehabilitate prolisoners than where they physically and mentally torture them
@Iphone 3G because they have a rehabilitative system instead of punitive justice system. Private prisons in the US aren't even about justice, they're about maximizing profit.
We love you brother. I've never been to jail, or prison, but I have family that's done time, and I'm an advocate for law and prison reform. People shouldn't be treated like that, and the entire privately owned for profit prison system needs to be abolished. People who end up in prison should have the tools to better themselves, and be on the path to a better life by the time they are released. Rehabilitation, not institutionalization. God bless you brother. Things WILL change because of people like you.
Thank you larry for talking about this, I didn’t know the extent of how horrible the guards are acting in prison. I’m going to start writing emails and make a fuss about this.
@@lucasa2190 That's the exact reason why no change happens. Everyone thinks their actions won't matter and of course they won't if they think that and make no action. Don't be so ignorant to the bigger picture man
You've completely changed my mind about prison and I used to think that criminals got what they deserve but I didn't know the piss on people and beat them up bro I support you all the way and I'm now a supporter for prisoner reform.

Larry, you are truly an inspiration. This episode was some shit straight out of The Shawshank Redemption. 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
Wow...I had no idea how bad things are. We desperately need prison reform. Thank god this channel exists. Keep up the good work, Lawton. Never give up, keep fighting to reform the system. I support you.

Larry I used to be one of those people that thought prisoners shouldn’t get any kind of comfort but you’re changing my mind rapidly, such torture and inhumane treatment no wonder people come out more angry and hateful and better criminals. You have truly touched my heart I can sense that you are genuinely a kind loving soul. The atrocities that were done to you sent chills down my spine I am truly sorry you had to endure such senseless torture and abuse.
The prison system in America is horrible. For profit prisons should be illegal.

"There's a fine line between an inmate and a guard."
Most of the bullies I went to high school with either ended up as inmates or as guards at the prison a few miles from where we graduated.
The worst bullies in my high school all became cops, except for one who was killed.
Larry said this as I read your comment
mike Languein haha
The line can be finer than you know. I’ve been both a high ranking lieutenant at prison. I’ve also been an inmate. Fortunately, I didn’t have the “John Wayne” syndrome that you see often among guards. But it’s a crazy story.
Yep. Those are the types that become law enforcement.

Mr. Lawton. Thank you for sharing your stories. I myself found out about you shortly after doing a little time in county. 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.
What a man. Your vulnerability, your will to forgive and move forward is impressing me so much.

Larry, I have listened to several of your topics. This one is the scariest to date. It gave me insight into the lengths that the prison system will go to break someone down that causes them trouble. You were angry, and you caused them trouble every way you could. Some justified, some questionable.

The torture of any living thing is more wrong than any crime.

Don't stop exposing these monsters.
He’s one of them never forget
@phremagnus2517
He was a criminal. A thief. He was not a sociopath or psychopath.
He did not commit a crime like a sex offense, murder, kidnapping.
He never shot anyone, stabbed anyone, or caused physical injury.
He then took responsibility for the crimes he committed and acknowledged that what he did was wrong. He did his time and now works with at risk youth to help them make better life choices than he did and tries to help people.
Please explain to me how that makes him a monster?
I think we should form a group, find this Lemanna fellow, and toilet paper his house mercilessly while yelling "Larry sends his regards!"

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."
