Larry I have to credit you with keeping me on the straight and narrow partially. Your videos dont allow me to forget what it was like and how i do not want to go back. How quick we are to forget our own suffering. I find that i have days where im thinking like im 20 again and then i see a notification for one of your videos and i watch it and remember "Oh, yeah, I remember why i went legit. Because i love spices, because i love my mattress, because of hot showers, because i dont have to smell 60 dudes asses on the tier. So many reasons and you always help me remember why i work so hard to do the right thing. Much respect to you brother. Youre helping alot of guys out here. And helping alot of guys inside too, with your crusade to help reform the institutions. You are making a difference brother. God bless you.

I really think that people with life sentences should have their own prisons separate from people who have a limited sentence where they have an exit date.

You may be on to something JOE!!

[@thomasdewolf7699]

True

[@starjestis8293]

[@VotEtoPizdets]

They wont do that. Prison isnt for rehabilitation, Prison is for profit. If you put short termers in with lifers then it increases the chances the short termer will become a lifer. Its repeat business ensuring tactics, plain and simple. The people behind these organizations are tyrannical and malevolent to the core, and they justify it and view their malevolence as a virtue because to them, were all just criminal scum. Theres no humanity within us in their eyes. So, to them, what theyre doing is good and they are serving the public. People are delusional beyond reproach. Listen to a psychological breakdown of the camp guards at Auschwitz if you want to understand the core of every persons capacity for tyranny. Its within all of us. Most just arent in a position in which it can manifest without consequence, like the nazis and like many Correctional officers and administrative staff members pulling the strings within correctional facilities. Make no mistake about it, from the perspective of a clinical psychologist, Those admin staff and CO's, many are identical to the Nazi guards, they just havent been doing it long enough in order to be granted the appropriate opportunity to inflict malevolence equal to the camp guards.

Larry, I’m 16 years old and my dad just got sentenced to prison. I’d just like to ask if there’s anything the family can do to support someone in prison. Thanks

[@birdlawyer6191]

I'm not Larry, but sending books and letters is always good. Send as many pictures as you can. Food usually sucks and theres not much of it so if you can afford to send any money I'm sure that will be appreciated. Also money for soap/shampoo and deodorant.

Upvote this so Larry can see it

[@drestnar]

@@birdlawyer6191 this.

[@drestnar]

I recommend doing research on the phone system of the penitentiary your dad is in. What I mean by this is if you can get a cell phone with a localized number to that prison it might help reduce cost of calls. It can go from a 1.25 a min to .30 cents a minute for a call. This can help your dad with being able to sell phone time to make some money via call forwarding. This is a hit and miss situation. Money for commissary is crucial. Food can be scarce at mealtime and a hot pot and noodles can save a stomach from grumbling late at night. Books. Like lee said Letters and books. These items break up the monotony of time being served. You can usually order books from online and have them mailed in. Magazine subscriptions. Your dad can sell mags and they give decent things to look at. One other thing. Length of sentence and the prison the time is being served in matter. If it is a minimum-security facility, hell that's easy time. (Some will say no time is easy time. That shit is a lie.) Time in a maximum-security facility is far different than medium or low. The reason I mention these factors is how the time is served. How it will fuck with your dads psyche. Wish ya luck and your father a swift bid

[@birdlawyer6191]

@@drestnar Ha if you got someone on the outside willing to do call forwarding for other inmates you are pretty darn lucky. ALSO OP, look into sending a care package. Maybe send colored pencils and a coloring book or a comic book. Alot of artist use images in those books in their own art, you cant just Google a picture of a hippo in there. There were gang members getting coloring books, I just mean it isn't seen as "childish". He can make money selling art if hes got any talent at all. Send the 5 Game of Thrones books. I read those twice during my year vacation, and they are very very good. People you wouldn't think read at all or dislike "fantasy" type books all love Game Of Thrones. Just about everybody I met that had been there for more than a few months had read the series.

It really amounts to grappling skills to initiate an arrest. I'd strongly recommend cops and co's to train in BJJ and sport wrestling for a couple years.

[@PortCityBalrog]

Not just the cops, thats the same mentality that most street people have too. It's alot easier to get a gun than legit learn how to fight. Sooo many people die just bc people are too lazy to learn how to fight or they just expect thier opps to be strapped so they gotta strap up too....smh

I've been in the martial arts since 1985.. I can fight.. spar.. disarm people with weapons.. presumably kill with strikes if I have to .. but prison would be tough... You gotta eat . Sleep shower . Use the toilet.. you can't be ready to fight 24. 7... I would hate it there and I'm not sure I could handle the hole .

I studied jiu jitsu for several years from childhood to my teenager years. Some of the best things I learned is exactly what you opened with. Get hit, get used to getting hit. I take that a bit further by saying get thrown around, get choked, get pinned down, get kicked, etc. When the real deal ever happens, the training comes back automatically and definitely makes a person a lot more capable of defense, fighting back, and not panicking.

First thing I learned in jail before I did 5 years in federal prison was to look at the shoes on everyone. Always were boots after that regardless. Woke up at 5am or earlier. First 3 years was at a low and last two at a camp. Over 30 county jails too. Diesel therapy. Seen as horrible fight with chairs and locks in a sock. I almost had to use hot oil in the kitchen when a situation got out of control. Had some other inmates step in. Almost did it to on the street when dude said he wasnt going back to prison after slapping one of my friends. Got a few stories on my channel. Be cool if you checked it out. Was interesting to watch.

That's so true about someone's body picking up tension. Even if not in jail or prison. I remember the first time it happened to me in Denver, CO at a major event several years ago. In a matter of about 15-20 seconds, I had seen 2 people do a gun swap and the guy who had gotten it noticed that I had seen the whole thing happen and gave me this look. I didn't bat an eye and just about bolted out of the area and just left the event and downtown Denver just to put as much distance between me and him.

Your mind is number 1 weapon. Know how to fight but know how to avoid the fight too. If everyone has their boots laced up, do you really need to go to the phones? You bump into someone, say excuse me. Know how to act and you can avoid dangerous situations.
