@@MrJZ27 Larry, you should go a little easier on Lou Pearlman. He died in federal custody in 2016.
I had a girl I worked with asked me if I ever flew first class. I said no. Have you ever flew in handcuffs and shackles? Lol
I'm so curious about it ever since you mentioned it a while back and how you demonstrated how they shackled you and how traumatic it is. Thank you for this video!
Over 16 times? that is cruel and unusual punishment
The prison stuff of yours is my favorite. It's hard to find frank, concise, high quality accounts of what it's like to be in the prison system.

They really don't care how cold it is. In CT, they do give you Micheal Myers looking coats in the winter, but you can't take them on court runs. It's ridiculous. So all you have is an extremely thin pull-over sweater. And I always thought it was absurd that they make you go in front of the judge looking all disheveled because you couldn't shower, freshen up, or anything. Of course that's going to play a role in how the court views you...

So did you serve time then in CT? I see that Larry has a lot of women subscribers following him out of curiosity, but not as many female convicts. It's a side of incarceration you don't see talked about as much, given the huge gender ratio difference in crime, but also just as interesting to learn about.
The balls on you to say that to the judge, also massive respect to that judge. Love the content
So excited for this video! You're my favorite KZreadr to watch! Sending lots of love from South Florida!

Larry Lawton, straight up real gangster, most gangster thing hes doing is trying to help the world and we the people as citizens of earth to be better human beings
I wont ever go to prison larry. 2 chapters left on ur book. Good read thank you. I'm working hard, i watch ur videos everyday. Respect
God... I know you put a lot of humour into your videos so it's not just relentlessly miserable, but I really do get tears in my eyes whenever you get emotional. I respect you a lot for the work you're doing to try to make change. People should not be treated like this, I don't care what their crime is.
Man your work rate recently is amazing. Having said that, don't feel pressured to always keep putting out the same amount of videos
The video we all have been waiting 4 thanks Larry
Thanks for another great video Larry. I always look forward to your content.
That really made me smile you told us about that nice judge, I bet you were happy
My brother-in-law flew a twin engine prop plane back in the early 80's. The jails would contract him on an as needed basis . I understand there were minimum security people and he said after take off no one ever acted up.
Love these types of videos. When will robbery fails be back? Love to see you laugh and explain the videos.
LOVE the videos Larry!! Are u still doing the weekly recap on Fridays? I didn't see one last week hope u still are doing that bro! Take care God bless!
The movie Con-Air uses a Fairchild C-123 dubbed the "Jailbird C-123", actual Con-Air I believe use 3 or 4 different planes, three being the Hawker 800, Boeing 737 and a SAAB 2000. Mind you aviation technology is constantly advancing and this could have changed lord knows how many times but those are a few of the planes :)
I'm glad you never got life man, sharing your experiences is so informative, entertaining and interesting and by the looks of it you really want to help people. I don't think you've released a video I've not enjoyed yet. Thanks👍
I love your channel man I've always needed calm music or life stories to sleep because my brain produces more cerritonin than melatonin. Your stories really help me to sleep specifically the gangster redemption playlist I've probably listened to that playlist over and over listening to your stories thanks larry. 😊
Put the bunny back into the box - that's all I knew about con air 🐰😂
It makes sense from the experiences the inmates have on ConAir how the Federal Bureau of Prisons could simply punish inmates with "Diesel Therapy" just to break them down further.

First time I was on Con-Air, I was transferring from USP Atlanta (the transfer part of prison) to FTC Oklahoma City. Quietest I ever heard prisoners' ever. Then again from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania, USP Lewisburg ( the transfer center again). Said the plane had a problem and had to wait 2 hours while they fixed it. Sure didnt want to get on it then. Real quiet that ride. That shackling really sucked. Id rather starve than shit on that plane. I never messed with guards, especially the Marshall. They had the guns. Always amazed me how loading and unloading they had them surround the plane with the guns out. Made me realize shit was real. Must have sucked for you to have to go through process and being on that plane so many times. Hated processing. You can never describe how humiliating it is and how often it happens. So many in one small space to transfer into another small space. Shitting with cuffs on, cuffed to someone. Straight bullshit. Never met Chief and been to OKC twice. Both in "99. Thanks for sharing again. Brought back a lot of memories. Was fun to watch. Great video
Thanks for sharing your stories with us!!
Another REALLY memorable video, Larry!
I've been waitin' for this one Chief.
There was a flight I was on that had a radio channel that allowed passengers to listen to the air traffic communication. I distinctly remember hearing Con Air communicating with the air traffic controller. This memory stood out because I didn’t know what con air was. It didn’t sound like the name of an airline. I had a feeling the name sounds familiar.

@@doctordogelordtmg9637 air traffic control does exactly that and only that. They control the air traffic. Pilots asking for permission to take off and land. Nothing is mentioned about flight plans. As long as the passengers’ names aren’t known, it’s alright. Air Con (EDIT Con Air) is a more difficult form of prisoner transport to intersect.

Hey Larry started watching this channel a few weeks ago and I'm not sure of you covered this, but I've always been interested on how people exercise in prison snd what kind of exercises they do etc。
Thanks for another thorough vid
Let me guess, the inflight cuisine is a bag with a baloney sandwich and saltines and the inflight entertainment is "No Talking!".

Good informative vid lar :)

Hey Larry I've always wanted to know your thoughts on Thomas Silverstein. I read that he was one of the main reasons why they built ADX Florence because he killed a guard and was involved in the 87 Atlanta riots (Cubans let him out of his cell to roam freely) where he actually spared a guards life because the guard was nice to him in the past. He also spent the last 36 years of his life in solitary. I honestly just want to know what you think of him and what your opinions are on the way he was treated even though he was classified as a very dangerous person.

Anybody ever noticed how prisons always look like prisons? Forget all the fences and watch towers. Just look at the building itself. That con air hub, if I knew nothing at all, I could tell it was a prison.
These con air videos are my favorite!!!
Larry has diamond status on con air. Frequent flyer miles.
Side note. In the movie US Marshalls, the plane crashes. The plane that crashes was filmed in southern Illinois. That airplane is currently located in Belknap. IL. The plane is underwater t Mermit Springs Dive Resort. When I was in college, I was in scuba diving and I actually went to that place and scrubbed the airplane clean. I also got stuck on the plane during a training dive. True story. But that airplane is in Southern Illinois at a dive resort. Also, you mentioned John Ghotti with Con Air. My youth pastor was a correctional officer at Marion Fed. prison in Marion, IL. He was on the inmate transfer team. When John Ghotti came to Marion he was on a private plane. He flew into Scott's Airforce base. John refused to get off the airplane and my youth pastor got on the plane and dragged him off. lol I know Marion Penn would use the airforce based because they didn't have to worry about commercial flights and it was more controlled when they got on based. Just an fyi
23:20 hmm, i pretty much just wear a hoodie with windbreaker and thin cargo pants on that weather. but then again i live in north EU where -20°C (-4°F) use to be norm each winter
Thank you Larry
27 min goes by in 2 min it feels like. Love this shit keep it up !
Honestly and truth! That’s the way it should be! Respect.
Con Air was always a fun time. The Marshalls did not have a use of force policy. It showed when we hit the tarmac.
Larry you might not see this but if you do can you explain the code Omerta that the Italian Mafia members from Italian mobs went with because I'm interested in learning the past about that thank you Larry you have amazing videos keep up the hard work

When prisoners are being transferred, whether by bus, train or plane, how would you pass the time? You've said sometimes that you might be on that bus 16 hours; do they allow you to have a book or magazine? How would you occupy yourself?

Then back To Sioux Falls, Talledega,Baton Rough,Houston,Austin then a bus to Bastrop. I was never Black Boxed Shackles and cuffed to your waist was bad enough
My guy is in prison in New Mexico and there were times he had to be transported from one facility to another and although he purposely didn't go into detail about it I cringed at the thought of how badly he was treated. I cried but all I can do is pray for him every day until gets out.
