Gangster Redemption Book

Gangster Redemption is the true story of Larry Lawton’s life—from his early years in New York, through a criminal career that led to federal prison, and ultimately to accountability and change. Co-written with New York Times bestselling author Peter Golenbock, the book examines the choices, influences, and consequences that shaped Larry’s path.

The story does not glorify crime or prison life. Instead, it offers a candid look at the cost of criminal decisions, the realities of incarceration, and the moments that forced Larry to confront the direction of his life. It also traces how those experiences later became the foundation for the Reality Check Program.

This book is a firsthand account of responsibility, consequence, and the possibility of change when truth is faced honestly.
