    It felt great to find someone that I can relate to since I was locked up. When I was 15, I had gotten locked up for a year and a half in the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. I got out right before I turned 17 ( which I'm 17 right now.) And when I got out felt like I was left as an outsider with no one to go to or anything but when I found Larry's channel it made me feel better about myself because I realized that I wasn't alone and how many other people like me have went through this trouble.

    I hope you know that you should be so proud of yourself for making it through dark times and choosing to look for positivity You are not alone honey , remember one of the best ways to stay in a good path is by helping others and sharing your own experiences. I don't care if it's beating drugs, alcohol, jail, abusive childhood, abusive marriage, etc pulling other people up just seems to keep us straight. Bless you 💖

    Hey Larry, just got your book today after being a long time viewer! Looking forward to starting it tonight. As someone who really didn't know anything about the prison system, watching you describe your time has been both enlightening and infuriating. You've really changed the way I look at prisons/inmates/guards. Love what you do!

    Seeing that pain in Larry’s eyes when he’s recalling whatever traumatic moment he’s thinking about physically hurts my chest. Then i start thinking about All the men and women that have been through the prison system here in the United States…there are *an incomprehensible amount of people walking around with severe PTSD from their time behind bars* and they are permanently damaged by the system in that way. We need, as a society, to address this madness- _immediately if not sooner_

    I've dropped L a few times when I was younger- concerts, parties, a musical one time haha I think I prefer the trip from mushrooms a bit more cause it feels less jarring to me; I can be kinda wimpy when it comes to psychedelics. Also, I had an idea for future content potentially! I remember reading a Cracked article in highschool about 5 people who changed the world from inside prison. I remember one guy named Stroud who studied birds while he was locked up for murder and ended up becoming an authority on bird diseases and ornithology. Another guy devised the building the Eerie Canal while he was doing time. Just some for-instances from that article, but of course you could add whoever you like, it's your channel haha just a thought man!
