Gangster Redemption: Showing Teens That A Life of Crime Is No Life At All

West
Melbourne, FL – Gangster Redemption (LL Research & Consulting) is
the life story of Larry Lawton, one of America’s most notorious jewel
robbers. Growing up in the Bronx and Brooklyn, New York, Larry was an
altar boy until the day he was sexually molested by a priest. As a teen
needing to prove his manhood, he began a criminal career that included
‘enforcer’ for the Gambino crime family and six years up and down the
East Coast pulling off jewelry heists worth over 15 million dollars – to
the frustration of both the police and the FBI!

Co-written by
8-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Golenbock, Gangster
Redemption truly is the life story of a ‘Goodfella’ turned ‘good guy’
who gets his life back on track to help and inspire others. His riveting
story has it all; the millions he made from robberies, prison torture,
the New York mafia, and much more. A blockbuster movie waiting to
happen, Gangster Redemption takes readers on a white-knuckle,
roller-coaster ride to hell and back!

Lawton understands
first-hand the fine line between making good and bad choices; he spent
six years in the Coast Guard before making bad choices that led to
associations with organized crime. In prison he saw inmates stabbed and
friends die. He saw young men raped and pimped out as prostitutes for
other inmates. He studied to become a paralegal while in prison and
acted as a gang mediator. Larry fought prison abuses and for doing so,
spent three years in the “hole” being tortured by guards – and somehow
kept his sanity by helping other inmates.

After his release in
2007, Larry developed the Reality Check Program as a way to instill hope
and inspire kids to stay out of prison – a program so successful it’s
being used by the courts, law enforcement, the federal government, and
parents all over the country. A leader in the field, Larry’s program
reinforces that when people make good choices their life can change. An
independent quantitative analysis was done showing the Reality Check
Program to have one of the highest success rates in the nation. 90% of
the teens did not get re-arrested, 70% had better attitudes, 43% had
better school grades and 31% had better school attendance.  

Currently
working on a new TV show called Lawton’s Law to advance this program,
Larry is realizing major triumphs in turning kids’ lives around. They
recognize that Larry ‘walks the talk’ and when he shares how prison cost
him lost time, family, friends and his freedom – they listen and they
learn that a life of crime is no life at all.

Larry Lawton has
appeared on TV and radio, and been featured in numerous newspaper
articles. His recent TV appearances include The Trisha Show on NBC, The
Daily Buzz, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Huckabee on FOX, and many
others. Larry’s inimitable style connects easily with people and he
unquestionably brings the most entertaining, motivating and
inspirational stories to audiences around the country.
