Indeed. Politicians and people in power would be terrified if all people, black, white, hispanic, asian, left wing, center, right wing, gay, straight, etc, all came together. It would cripple their power over us. Half their job is to make sure we're divided, the only thing they really care about is THEM making money, and keeping their power. No matter how much bs they tell you, they care about their power first, and will tell you any bs to keep it. Corporations and politicians don't care about me or you at all.

[@friendly-nemesis4754]

Except that none of the custodial powers (in or out of prison) are forcing people to fight one another; tribal feuding has been a stain on our species since before there were prisons or governments, and continue regardless of who's in charge of them. And by the way, while I have no doubt the CO's don't want them to try it, the idea that the inmates could "join together and take over the prison" has no long term viability whatsoever; every time prisoners attempt that sort coup they either get beaten senseless by the guards, or get gassed and/or shot by state reinforcements, and the survivors are locked down by force. Like it or not, the state holds the power, and it is the holders of the reigns of power who define the parameters of the state. No civilian population has any chance of overwhelming their nation's military, and I can't think of a single actual-revolution in history that hasn't been utterly disastrous.

Watching your videos for a few days now, and here's what I learned thus far. 1.) A lot more people get away with things like drugs, beatings, and rapes in prison than I imagined. I always imagined prison as a really controlled environment with less of that going on than it appears does. I mostly thought this because of the constant surveilance you'd be under in that environment. 2.) Guards seem to have an inconsistent level of discipline, and self-control. Which seems to prove the Stanford Prison Experiment correct.

great idea!

[@theglassmaster3140]

Guys in our prison would use bars of soap when they just wanted to hurt somebody. Because it didn't break bones and leave serious marks. Like breaking one of the less severe yard rules might get you a soap and sock beating. Lol

@@theglassmaster3140 What he didn't tell you is afterward is that they would make you suit case the soap bar for a week after the beating.

[@phenomenl1style]

If you wanted to hurt someone, a cola can in a sock is the best thing to use, because once the can busts you can flush the can and there's no evidence

Man I remember andrew. Regardless, it's great that you are doing what you are doing. Life after prison can be pretty bad, and i think it's great that you are doing public outreach in a form that can actually get thru to people. It's quite brilliant really and you should feel a lot of pride in what you do. Thank you.

Prison is our environment, stuck in the hood on low financial level. Our mental limitations is prison. A physical wall isn't as disturbing. As being physically free but stuck to compulsive daily routine while getting old.

Honestly that manscape in the beginning had me dying when Larry took his shirt off

[@arthurfonzarelli9331]

The prison burial story is not a myth. In England if you were hanged your body became property of the state and was buried within the prison walls. This was a common occurrence up until the 1950's. There are even documented stories of inmates having to walk past their freshly dug graves in the way to the gallows.

Thanks so much Larry for bringing up the testicular cancer. I had on removed, it didn't spread and at 69 still get a decent chubby. Guys listen to Larry regarding this subject. Believe me , a stiff rid is the last thing on your mind when you're told you have cancer. Fantastic job Larry, as always.

Larry with the sponsorships🤣

I'm so happy the hit the big guy thing wasn't true. I'm 6'4" and at the time was 280 lbs .That was back when I had to spend a few times to Cook County jail (had a drinking and drug problem for a few decades, have been clean and sober for over 15 years now though). I was almost always the biggest guy in the cell block and every time I had to go in, everyone would call me big show after the wrestler. So glad nobody came up and just hit me because I was big...that would have ruined my experience at the hotel California haha. New sub here as I've been enjoying your content, Thanks!

[@Jagstang1981]

Question for you Mr. Lawton. In all your experiences in meeting and hearing other inmates stories, do you think there is a common connection as to why a majority are in prison in the first place? I know there are statistics and facts anyone can look up to get numbers, but I am curious as to what their stories are. Also it would be so awesome if you and Mike Rowe push for a skilled labor education program for inmates being released. American has a skilled labor problem in this country and people getting released need jobs. We desperately need more skilled labor. Oh and one more question, do you think felons should be allowed to vote? Sorry for long rant.

Christmas 2019 I had one of my testicles removed due to cancer. Thanks for bringing some attention to it, I feel like you did it with a good balance of humor and seriousness :D It's not like a bad cancer, it's just scary. And then when you gotta talk about it, and everyone gets awkward because you use the word "testicle". xD

So Feech La Manna was full of it, the more you know. You are right the best way to avoid that kind of abuse is to not do the stuff that gets you sent to prison in the first place.

Huntsville prison in Huntsville Tx has their unclaimed cemetery about a block away. I was on the other side for 10 years as a Correctional Officer so I get a lot what you’re saying. Great job telling it how it is.

[@tylerkinley268]

I never worried about getting raped dropping the soap. Only guys I heard of with those problems was guys with big debt. As for the gays, that was weird. There were these 'guys' running around acting feminine as well as a few normal gay guys. The sagging pants thing is just stupid; most clothes were really worn and stretched to begin with. I didn't get into many issues myself. There were fights, but by not being in a gang and by minding my business I avoided most of it. Only kept a small circle of friends, avoided politics, etc. Despite not having a lot of time I did get along with the longtimers simply by not acting like a dumbass kid! Didn't carry shanks, mostly cause I worked all day with sharp tools. As for getting advice, I'd suggest taking time to watch before deciding who you will take advice from. Lots of guys want to give advice to a guy and look like the wise old-timer, but many are idiots. Again, had tons of old-timers as friends just cause I gravitated towards guys who read and were educated, even if it was self-education. Better conversation then just the recent sports games or bullshit.

aw yea i fucken love these kind of top 10 vids, not sure what makes me like them that much but its pretty nice

[@InformalGreeting]

I don’t know if there’s any truth to the sagging meaning someone is available. Maybe years ago it did, I don’t know. But I do know that as a CO when someone sagged and I asked if they were advertising they’d pull their pants up pretty damned fast.

[@Gkitchens1]

You are absolutely right about the prison being taken over at any time. I've always said the only reason corrections officers run a prison is because the inmates let them. Period.

[@LastBastian]

I've seen prisoners try to take over a couple times. Once in jail, once in prison. ... didn't go well for the prisoners either time.

It's funny how people come up with these myths but the golden rules I followed when I was locked up 4 yrs in pa. 1. Eyes forward if you don't see it you can't say anything about it.. 2. Stay to yourself don't get involved in things you don't have any business being involved in. 3.say your sorry your not being weak but being respectful. 4. Wait your turn don't cut in front of anyone. 4. Wipe the shitter off when doing anything by it I had a Muslim celly they would kneel on both knees and piss that way and flush constantly used to drive me nuts. Those are some of the best rules that I stood by and they worked only threw down once in 4 yrs two guys were testing me looking for a easy target for commissary and other stuff they would do things like bump into me and not say sorry or cut in front of me at chow couple of those incidents an old timer came up to me this was in the first 6 months anyway and told me you need to handle that before we handle you 👍 okay so couple days later we were going out to yard he bumped into me hard I sprang back and smashed him in the mouth knocked him out on the spot his buddy wasn't interested in any of that he disappeared I got maced and cuffed on my way to the shu. Couple of the older guys patted me on the back it was smooth sailing from there (Love your vids)
