I did 24 and change in prison in Texas and got out in 2004. I was on Eastham Unit which was a maximum security "farm" unit. The doors stayed closed and locked all the time. Breakfast was between 3:30 and 4:30 with first work turnout at 5 a.m. They were opened then closed for meals, work, showers, and in the afternoon after supper for some dayroom, the doors were still closed while you were in the dayroom. The front of the cells were open bars, not solid. The bunks were within 3 or 4 inches of the bars, so everyone slept with their feet toward the bars. Almost all of us were light sleepers and if someone was asleep you had better have a good reason to wake them up. You had to have respect for your celly. If he was asleep, you kept the noise down, radio down or off, and not yell down the run. Loud radios at night were hated. If someone asked you to turn it down and you didn't then you would come back from chow, from work, or from showers and find your radio smashed, or someone would talk with an inmate maintenance man, and he would go into the pipe chase and disconnect your antenna. If you used a mechanical alarm clock and didn't quickly turn it off, someone would turn it off for you by smashing it on the floor or against the wall. For years after I got out, I would wake at 3 or 4 and not be able to go back to sleep. I still have trouble staying asleep for a whole night.

When I was in jail for about 2.5 weeks, I slept 6 total hours even though I had my own cell. The place is loud, the guards are assholes always shining lights in the cell to see if you are up, missing or dead. The guards "rocked the doors" at least 3 times from 10PM until 5AM. Rocking the doors for those reading this that don't know what that is, the guards would open the doors to the cells slightly and quickly slam them shut several times in a row. And as Larry said, the snorers are terrible and there is no way to get rid of the noise. Or you have someone who is freaking out because they are upset about something and would scream all night and the guards would let them until the guards got annoyed by it and then the guards in riot gear would come in to make the person stop. Don't go to jail people if you like to sleep. You won't get any.

I've gone from one of the most active and productive people you would ever meet, to what I've become now which is just doubled over in pain all the time and half the person i used to be. Living a life in constant debilitating pain is a prison all in itself. Im a prisoner in my own body. Sleeping, to me, is a release to freedom. I have my mobility and I'm never hurting in my dreams. We've lived vastly different lives, but i really can relate to alot of what you talk about. Thank you for what you do. 👊

@@davidcardinal3654 2 years isn't a fitting sentence even if he didn't mean to kill anyone (manslaughter). There had to have been more evidence or details that you aren't aware of for a judge to make that call. Either way, I'm sorry about your friend, and as much as you'll hate to hear it I feel sorry for the guy who killed him. People make mistakes, especially when dealing with addictions (such as to alcohol), and things can spiral out of control. Should the killer (not murder if it wasn't intentional) pay with his own life for a mistake? It won't bring the victim back. It won't stop other people from doing stupid shit to fulfill their addictions. All it would do is cause more pain. Clearly the judge thinks there's hope for that man, and so all we can do it hope that he learns from his time in prison how to be a better person because otherwise it's back to robbing houses for beer money once he gets out assuming he's not already out.

It's strange but what you said about "missing out" is exactly how I've always felt about sleep. I always push it later and later and at times have ended up with some really stupid sleep patterns of going to bed at 7am and waking up at 3pm... While I don't go to those extremes these days, I still tend to be awake until about 3am, sometimes later. I think I'm just kind of a night owl by nature, and given the choice just generally prefer to be awake through the night rather than during the day.

The only that we did not have, had been to body searched and to be handcuffed. Even getting killed by the fellow in the next bed? It happened to some. Different sleeping routines? Being alert even in sleep? Bad food? Nasty people commanding you around? Getting not enough sleep? I do remember all of that very clearly from the Navy and my wild shot is that evetyone who served time in any military department does remember that.

You're right, getting adequate sleep is essential. With my lifestyle its damn near impossible for me to get the rest I need. It catches up with you for sure. Keep putting out these awesome videos dude. Take care 👊

I suffer from insomnia and have since I was very young. It took me years to figure out what causes it for me. I was molested every night and morning by my Dad. I wished I could have slept through it yet I couldn't and I still suffer from insomnia. It's terrible. I also suffer from PTD. Meditating helps some what. I refuse to take medication. Thank you for all your videos. I watch many of them because of my insomnia because I enjoy learning and you always teach me new things every video I watch. I never knew how prison is and I feel badly how terrible it is. It really stinks how prisons don't choose to help people become better so people can have the healthy tools they need when they are released. I don't know if you have made videos on how to better yourself while in prison yet I would think that would be a great video. I currently have a childhood friend who has spent most of his life in jail or prison and he is struggling a great deal. I suggested that he take courses and any classes that are available to help him through out life when he is released. He has 1 year and 8 months until he is released. He still seems to have the criminal mind set and I often wonder if he we ever be able to separate his past and when released stay away and out of trouble. I truly hope and want the best for him as well as people in general.

You ever have a lucid dream Larry? Although many of us can control various elements of a dream like that, all that a lucid dream is defined as is "being aware that you're dreaming." I had my first one the night of a small acid dose back when I was 15, and I've uncontrollably been having thousands of them over the last 25 years. It's an amazing place to explore.

Hey man, interesting topic about the dreams. Controlling your dreams is called lucid dreaming. I can do this, though it’s not because I tried to. I used to have horrible nightmares as a child, so bad that I could barely sleep for weeks. I think as a defense mechanism, my brain trained itself to control dreams so I could get out of nightmares and stay asleep. Works to this day. I’m actually surprised with all you went through, assuming you must have nightmares as well, that it hasn’t kicked in for you. Stay safe, man.

What a character! Larry Lawton you made my day! My grandma told me that when you need some sleep, just close your eyes and count sheep. Man this was so frustrating. I would reach 1,000 sheep and be so wide-awake, restless and anxious that I had to get up and pace the floors and get involved with all kinds of mindless tasks. It would be four in the morning when I would obliviously fall asleep at the kitchen table. If you want to sleep, don't count sheep. It creates great anxiety.

Hey great video series. I have a question that popped up watching this one. I have sleep apnea, I use a CPAP machine to sleep. Without it I snore very loud, I stop breathing in the night, whole nine yards. My question deals with medical devices. In the short term I would survive without my machine, long term it puts strain on my heart, but it's not like an insulin pump that if insulin isn't administered one goes into shock and coma . What are prison policies on medical devices and their use?

@roguemerlin1969 2 жыл бұрын

I did a lot of time in prison in Texas and got out in 2004. If you had asked about something like that back then, they would have laughed at you. Since the Feds are more involved in state prisons due to lawsuits, it might have changed. There were a couple "medical units" where extremely sick inmates were sent. {stage 4 cancer, old age senility, and of course, the criminally insane}. Medical care in Texas sucked.

You are the FIRST PERSON I have ever heard talk about insomnia and "not wanting to miss things" That fits me exactly. That and the PTSD of being homeless at 12 years old smoking heroin. But now that I've been clean for 30+ years my insomnia is exactly as you stated it. It's a strange feeling. Like you don't want to let go of today. I think in your case it might stem from the fact that your "today's" are up to you. Your freedom makes you relish your consciousness. That is what I've learned about me. Maybe you can relate, not sure. I went to CYA, it's a gladiator farm in there. I barely slept.

In the hospital in my uk town the visitors are sent home at 8, then the staff start doing medication rounds, begin putting people to bed and by half 8 the lights are turned down. Then most people are asleep by 9-9.30. Except when I was on a ward with 5 elderly ladies, 4 had Alzheimers. So I’d read to them a bit, then the night nurse would come in. Then they realised I’d sort them from my bed they took her away because they didn’t need her in there. In a couple of days I’d gone from teaching and entertaining children to adult 😀 it was fun

Hey Larry I've always seen bunch of your videos and love em all and this question I've always wondered... If you had the money and permission to create your own prison and run it as a warden or run it as a guy who controls it at the palm of their hand, how would you run it and what would make it different from other prisons (like Atlanta) and what security level would it be (medium?) and what rules would you have in place to make it fair on both ends (inmates and guards as well as concerning the hole)? You've probably been already asked a question like this but it'd still be interesting to see your full in-depth view/opinion on it! 😁 also thanks so much for the videos I learn quite a lot about prison and I've talked a lot about bits of your videos to friends and they all intrigued bout ya too

I really like how you described the psychedelic moment with the hovering above the prison and all. Sounds a bit like ego-dissolution, where you lose connection to yourself. In some sense it can feel like you see yourself from the third person, your sourroundings, the whole universe with you at it's center. It can be beautyful, profound, scary and blissful at once.
