Description

Larry Lawton grew up in the Bronx, New York, and was connected to the american mafia. As a professional jewel thief he stole millions of dollars in a string of robberies before the FBI charged him with racketeering and robbery. He spent 11 years in some of the hardest federal prisons in the USA for his crimes.  In prison, Larry transformed his life, and now on the outside he has a popular youtube channel where he talks about prison life, the legal system and his past as a jewel thief. He is a powerful advocate for change in the USA using his past to guide teenagers away from a life of crime.Links:https://youtube.com/c/LarryLawtonJewelThiefhttps://instagram.com/reallarrylawton?igshid=1lhux0wh6v4x4Second Chance: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Second Chance Webpage: Second ChanceWebsite: Raphael-Rowe.com  Instagram: @areporterTwitter: @areporter) Sound by Joe Adams Podcasts| Audio AvalancheSupport the show

Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed.
