MrBeast’s videos are mostly over the edge and show some of the most thrilling things that one can only imagine in real life. For a very simple instance, would you pay someone $10,000 every day they survive in a prison? As bizarre as it may sound, MrBeast’s content is mostly of stuff similar to this and may seem mostly trustworthy to his viewers.

However, as believable as it may look, some people with real ground experience, especially in prison, would disagree with what MrBeast shows in his latest video. Have a look at how ex-prisoner Larry Lawton reviews this video.

Ex prisoner busts elements out of MrBeast’s latest video

Larry Lawton is an ex jewel thief, mob earner, and ex-prisoner. He has spent almost 11 years of his life in prison and has now chosen a better form of life. He now helps people make better decisions and is a vehement fighter and advocate for prison reforms.

In this video, Lawton reviews MrBeast’s latest video in the most brutal fashion. Looking at the title of the video, he remarks, “If you told me I was gonna get $10,000 a day for staying in the hole (prison), not just prison, in the hole in prison, holy f*** I’d be rich. I have spent 11 straight years in the hole.”

He further goes on to describe his life in prison relating to the video by saying, “I am going to show what made me laugh, what made me cry.” 

Lawton was kind of shocked when he saw that the prisoner had a cook who would make him anything, all the amenities, as well as the patience to live through the entire day in a confined space.

However, he also felt amused by the choice of items that the prisoners chose to keep with themselves during their confinement. He was particularly surprised when Karl did not choose to take the guitar with him earlier.

Lawton also praises MrBeast for taking good care of all his crew members and the participants who take part in this social experimental content.
