Lawrence "Larry" Lawton (born: October 3, 1961) is an American author, motivational speaker, television personality, and YouTuber.
In the past he was a famous jewel thief, who was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. While in prison he was reformed, and after he got out he dedicated the rest of his life to helping the police track down criminals, reform prisoners, increase the rights of prisoners, and help young people follow a different path than he did.
He's written books about this, and also has a YouTube channel, where he uploads reactions to videos about dumb criminals, as well as real life current events related to crime. He's also made videos in which he discusses specifically about his time in prison, and the horrible conditions that prisoners have to endure.
