NBA champion Lamar Odom joins the show to reflect on his life story — from growing up in South Jamaica, Queens and becoming a top NBA draft pick, to winning championships with Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, navigating fame, addiction, and the pressures that came with his rise. Lamar opens up about the challenges he faced during the height of his career, his marriage to Khloé Kardashian, the 2015 incident in Nevada that nearly cost him his life, the strokes and medical aftermath he fought through, and how an ibogaine treatment helped him rebuild and reconnect with himself. We discuss childhood trauma, the start of addiction, the intensity of NBA life, loss, recovery, rebuilding relationships, and what he hopes others can take from his journey.

Fu Banger sits down to breakdown his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsters, surviving Rikers, and navigating the federal system after the 6ix9ine RICO case exploded. He details what really happened inside Manhattan Correctional Center’s SHU the night Jeffrey Epstein died — what he saw, what inmates were saying, and why the entire unit felt off. Fu also explains why he believes 6ix9ine staged his recent “home invasion robbery,” and gives his honest reaction to Diddy’s viral prison photos and the trouble they may bring. He opens up about his time at a federal low-security prison, including how the yard handled high-risk inmates, predators, and those with serious charges, and what daily life at a low really looks like. #FuBanger #NineTrey #RICOCase #6ix9ine #Epstein #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #lockedinwithianbick Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Nesto, raised in Harlem by a single mother, joins Ian to share the raw and unfiltered story of how he went from early street life to surviving some of the most dangerous prisons in New York. Pulled into the streets at a young age, Nesto became involved in a string of robberies that led to his arrest and time on Rikers Island, where he faced violence, chaos, and the reality of New York’s jail system before taking a 3.5-year plea deal. After sentencing, he was sent to one of New York’s most feared maximum-security prisons—known by inmates as “The Jungle”—where he witnessed extreme violence, gang politics, and the daily pressure of staying alive. While inside, Nesto caught a new charge for slashing another inmate, which added 1.5 more years to his sentence and landed him in solitary confinement, where the mental toll became just as intense as the physical dangers. #PrisonStories #NewYorkPrison #InmateSurvival #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonExperience #SurvivingPrison #realprisonstories Thanks to AURA FRAMES & BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

James Reda grew up in Las Vegas being raised by his grandparents, but his life took a sharp turn when his father taught him how to scam slot machines at a young age. That early introduction to hustling led James into a world of check fraud, casino scams, and eventually time in both Nevada state prison and federal prison — including serving time in the same facility as his father. After his first release, James tried to rebuild his life working as a limo driver, but he became wrapped up in an FBI indictment connected to his job. While on pre-trial release, he slipped back into check fraud and landed in prison again — where he was even accidentally released before being taken back into custody. Ultimately sentenced to more time, James served in both systems before using his second chance on the outside to finally turn his life around. In this episode, he breaks down his entire journey: the early scams, the prison time, the FBI case, the accidental release, the relapse, and what it took to change his life for good. If you’re interested in Vegas crime stories, prison life, redemption arcs, and real interviews with people who’ve lived it, this conversation delivers honesty, insight, and wild twists from start to finish. #CasinoScam #PrisonStory #NevadaPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #PrisonLife #crimeandconsequences Thanks to AURA FRAMES for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Michael Martinez grew up in San Diego and started getting into trouble as a teenager before turning his life around and heading to Hawaii for college. His goal was to serve and protect — but his past made getting into law enforcement a challenge.

This episode dives deep into the reality behind the badge — the trauma, the toll, and the long road to redemption.

Jeff Pike grew up surrounded by law enforcement — his father was a sheriff and later a Deputy U.S. Marshal — so from the time he was 13, he was visiting jails and crime scenes instead of playgrounds. Following in his father’s footsteps felt inevitable. After becoming a game warden in Virginia, Jeff transitioned into undercover police work, where he took on some of the wildest cases imaginable — from major drug operations to male prostitution stings and violent street investigations. As his career grew, Jeff joined the sheriff’s department, working deep inside the criminal underworld. But over time, he began to see the other side of policing — the corruption, the internal politics, and the moral conflicts that come with trying to do the right thing in a broken system. Eventually, he made the difficult choice to walk away from law enforcement altogether and start over as a private detective. #UndercoverCop #LockedInWithIanBick #TrueCrime #PoliceStories #LawEnforcement #RealStories #CriminalUnderworld #crimedocumentary Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

George Santos sits down with Ian Bick for his most revealing interview yet — sharing how he went from serving in Congress to serving time behind bars. In this episode, Santos opens up about the investigations, the scandals, the pressure, the downfall, and what prison was really like on the inside. He discusses the moment everything came crashing down, how he survived prison life, what he learned about himself on the inside, and how he views his future now that he’s out. Santos also speaks candidly about corruption, power, public scrutiny, media narratives, and how quickly someone in politics can rise — and fall. Whether you know him from headlines, controversies, or comedy sketches, this conversation goes far beyond the memes and viral clips. This is George Santos telling his story in his own words: the mistakes, the reality check, the consequences, and the lessons he took from prison and public disgrace. #GeorgeSantos #PoliticalScandal #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #FederalCase #PublicCorruption #redemptionstory Thank you to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Anthony Arillotta was a powerful boss in the Genovese Crime Family, one of New York’s most feared mafia organizations. Rising through the ranks in Springfield, Massachusetts, Arillotta became a made man and later took control of the family’s operations — running gambling, loansharking, and extortion rackets that defined East Coast organized crime. After years of violence, betrayal, and federal investigations, he made a decision that shocked the mob world and changed his life forever. Anthony opens up about his rise in the Genovese family, life as a mafia boss, the murders and power struggles that came with it, and what ultimately made him walk away from one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in America. #AnthonyArillotta #GenoveseCrimeFamily #MafiaBoss #LockedInWithIanBick #OrganizedCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #MafiaStories #prisoninterviews Thanks to RULA & CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Kamil Philip was born in post-Communist Poland and came to the U.S. with his family on a one-month visa that turned into a lifelong fight for survival. Growing up in a Long Island junkyard, Kamil’s version of the American dream spiraled into gun charges, forged documents, and years of run-ins with the law. But his biggest battle wasn’t prison—it was deportation. After losing his mother and being targeted by a detective determined to ruin his future, Kamil faced being sent back to the country his family risked everything to leave. Against all odds, a judge let him stay, and he rebuilt his life from scratch. Today, he’s a successful business owner who employs ex-cons, mentors young people, and teaches others how to build their own second chance. From selling guns and fake documents to nearly being deported, Kamil’s story is a powerful journey of survival, redemption, and what it really takes to overcome the system. #LockedInWithIanBick #TrueCrime #DrugTrafficking #DeportationStory #PrisonStories #Immigration #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to RULA & PELIPOST for sponsoring this episode: Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Edward English grew up between Houston and Ohio in a turbulent home marked by an absent father and an abusive stepfather. Put on Ritalin from ages 7 to 17, he struggled with confidence and identity — eventually turning to drugs as a way to escape. What started as experimentation spiraled into an eight-year heroin addiction that led to his arrest in 2011 for possession, distribution, and trafficking. Sentenced to nearly eight years in prison, Edward served 4.5 before being released in 2016. Behind bars, everything changed. Through faith, mentorship, and personal growth programs, he transformed his mindset and rebuilt his life from the inside out — a journey he documents in his memoir Emersion. Today, Edward is 14 years clean, a husband, father, and commercial plumber in Columbus, Ohio, dedicated to helping others overcome addiction and find purpose after prison. His story is one of pain, perseverance, and the power of true transformation. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #AddictionRecovery #HeroinAddiction #OhioPrison #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to DAWS for sponsoring this episode: Go to http://www.daws.org/ to donate, adopt or send items from their wishlist.

Jonathan Alvarez grew up in Yonkers, New York, where his life was shaped by loss and survival from an early age. At just 10 years old, his father was sent to federal prison and deported for drug trafficking — leaving Jonathan to fend for himself. By 12, he was selling drugs on the streets, and by 17, he was indicted on a gang-related murder charge that led to nearly 13 years behind bars. But prison didn’t break him — it transformed him. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #GangLife #NewYorkPrisons #SurvivingPrison #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to RULA, CASH APP & PELIPOST for sponsoring this episode: Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Najla was born in New York but grew up in North Carolina, where a turbulent and abusive childhood pushed her to survive by any means necessary. On her own at a young age, she turned to scams to fund her lifestyle and escape the chaos at home. What started as small hustles quickly grew into full-blown bank fraud that eventually landed her in federal prison. Najla’s story is one of pain, survival, and transformation — from a broken childhood to facing the harsh reality of prison life, and ultimately finding strength through redemption.

Ben McChesney spent 25 years behind bars, serving time in more than a dozen state and federal prisons across the country — from low-level facilities to some of the toughest penitentiaries in America. His story is one of chaos, survival, and defiance. After being accused of stealing several pallets of firearms in what became one of the largest gun heists in his state, Ben went on the run to Mexico for two years before being captured.

Chris Feistl spent 26 years working for the DEA, including three years in Colombia during the 1990s, helping take down one of the most powerful drug empires in history — the Cali Cartel. His real-life work was portrayed in Narcos: Season 3, but the truth behind the show is even wilder. From undercover operations to high-stakes cartel takedowns, he witnessed firsthand the danger, corruption, and chaos of the war on drugs. Over his career, he earned the DEA Award of Honor, Award for Exceptional Service, and multiple Performance Awards for his role in international investigations. In this exclusive interview, he opens up about what really happened in Colombia, how Narcos got it right (and wrong), and what it was like to spend decades hunting some of the world’s most dangerous traffickers. #LockedInWithIanBick #DEAAgent #Narcos #CaliCartel #TrueCrime #DrugCartel #NarcosNetflix #realstories Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Dave Franke shares the journey that most people could never imagine living through. Growing up in California, Dave became involved in the skinhead gang lifestyle at a young age, pulled in by identity, belonging, and survival. That path led him into some of the hardest jails and prisons in California, where violence, politics, and racial tension were a part of everyday life. Over time, Dave began questioning everything—his beliefs, his identity, and the world he thought he understood. He eventually renounced the skinhead lifestyle, determined to break the cycle and find a new purpose. After rebuilding his life and establishing himself in a stable career, he took a dramatic turn few would ever see coming: he went to Mexico and worked alongside law enforcement in operations targeting drug cartels. #LockedInWithIanBick #RealStories #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #CartelStories #SurvivorStory #ChangeYourLife #StreetToStrength Thank you to BRUNT & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Brunt: $10 Off @BRUNT with code LOCKEDIN at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/lockedin #bruntpod Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Michy Morillo opens up about her experience being pushed into the street life at a young age and how quickly things escalated. As a teenager, her house arrest was revoked, and she was sent to juvenile prison, where she spent years navigating a system that was not built to help kids, but to break them. Michy shares what it was like to be locked away so young, separated from family, and forced to adapt to an environment where survival came before everything else. She talks about the emotional and psychological impact of incarceration — acting out, being isolated, and learning to shut down her feelings just to make it through. But what stands out in Michy’s story is not just the pain — it’s the transformation that came after. She explains how she eventually found purpose, rebuilt her identity from the ground up, and committed herself to helping the youth who are walking the same path she once did. #LockedInWithIanBick #JuvenilePrison #RealStories #StreetLife #SystemFailedMe #LifeLessons #RedemptionJourney #changeyourlife Thank you to ExpressVPN for sponsoring this episode: Secure your online data TODAY by visiting https://www.expressvpn.com/lockedin to find out how you can get up to four extra months.

Jackie Orena is the granddaughter of Victor "Little Vic" Orena, who was allegedly the acting boss of the Colombo crime family according to federal prosecutors. Today, Victor is 91 years old, experiencing significant health issues, and is still serving what is effectively a life sentence in federal prison.This conversation does not glorify organized crime or the past. Instead, it focuses on the deeply human side of this story — what it means to watch a loved one grow old behind bars. Jackie opens up about the emotional and generational weight of the Orena name, the realities of aging in the prison system, and why she and her family are fighting for compassionate release. She talks about the day-to-day challenges her grandfather faces due to his age and health, and what it feels like to hope for mercy in a system that often does not bend. #OrenaFamily #CompassionateRelease #AgingInPrison #PrisonReform #TrueCrimeStories #FamilyLegacy #LockedInWithIanBick #realconversations Thank you to ExpressVPN for sponsoring this episode: Secure your online data TODAY by visiting https://www.expressvpn.com/lockedin to find out how you can get up to four extra months.

LaTascia Taylor thought she had met her fairy tale. Charming. Successful. Confident. The kind of man who walks into your life and makes you feel seen. But what started as love quickly unraveled into manipulation, danger, and a criminal empire she never saw coming. What LaTascia didn’t know was that the man she fell for was running a major drug operation. And little by little, he pulled her in. First moving money across state lines… then transporting packages… and eventually flying internationally with drugs hidden in luggage. She found herself in way too deep — and on a flight to Europe, everything came crashing down. Arrested. In a foreign country. No support. No way home. And stuck for 2 years in an overseas prison. #truecrime #survivalstory #prisonstories #traumarecovery #toxicrelationships #drugtrafficking #lockedinwithianbick #secondchances Thank you to BLUECHEW & BRUNT for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Devin Prince grew up in Toledo, Ohio, and became a father at just 17 years old. Struggling to provide, he turned to selling drugs — and soon fell into addiction himself. What started as a hustle spiraled out of control when a robbery gone wrong forced him to flee, landing him on Toledo’s Most Wanted list. While on the run, he became involved in a scam and later continued dealing drugs in Virginia, where he was eventually arrested and sentenced to three years in state prison. But in a shocking twist, luck was on his side — the robbery case that once had him labeled one of Toledo’s most wanted fell apart, giving him an unexpected second chance. In this episode, Devin opens up about teenage fatherhood, drug dealing, addiction, being a fugitive, life in Virginia prison, and the moment everything changed. #MostWanted #TrueCrimeStory #FromFugitiveToFelon #PrisonLife #RedemptionStory #Toledo #CrimeDocumentary #podcastinterview Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Jason Logan traded a firefighter’s uniform for a Hells Angels vest — but the price of brotherhood went far deeper than he ever imagined. Growing up in California, Jason was obsessed with motorcycles and adrenaline. He spent 12 years as a California firefighter, often battling wildfires side-by-side with prison inmates. But after burning out physically and mentally, he left the fire service in search of belonging, brotherhood, and purpose.

Jelani Vanholten didn’t grow up wanting to work inside one of America’s most dangerous jails—but life led him behind the walls of Rikers Island. After attending college and trying several career paths, he put on the correctional officer uniform and was assigned to one of Rikers’ most feared units: The House of Pain.Inside those walls, respect wasn’t given—it was earned. Jelani became known as a CO who treated inmates with firmness and fairness, earning credibility from both staff and prisoners. But the longer he stayed inside Rikers, the darker the job became. From daily violence and psychological battles to navigating gang politics and surviving high-tension housing units, Jelani saw the brutal reality of New York City’s jail system up close. But everything changed when he felt his life was in danger—and the department didn’t have his back. #RikersIsland #PrisonStories #FormerCO #LawEnforcementLife #PrisonGuard #InsideTheSystem #WhyIQuit #truecrimepodcast Connect with Jelani Vanholten: https://www.instagram.com/broadwaycasino?igsh=MXFxMDdjc3owZTl3OQ== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 The Rikers “House of Pain” Unit Explained 00:38 Who Is Delani?

Keith Shibley was the kind of cop who ran toward danger—until the danger followed him home. Starting his career with the Virginia Port Authority Police, Keith transitioned into the Richmond Police Department, where violence, shootings, and high-stakes calls were a daily reality. Seeking a new path, he returned to the Port Authority and eventually became part of an FBI task force, responding to domestic terrorism threats, high-profile shootings, and federal-level criminal activity. But while he was protecting the public, the trauma was destroying him privately. Years of front-line exposure led to crippling PTSD, driving Keith into a spiral of painkillers, alcohol, and self-destruction—all while still wearing the badge. His life and career were on the brink. Instead of losing everything, Keith made a life-altering decision: he asked for help. #FBITaskForce #AddictionRecovery #FormerCop #LawEnforcementStories #AddictionSurvivor #TrueCrimePodcast #PoliceToPrison #RedemptionStory Connect with Keith Shibley: Facebook: Keith Shibley Instagram: @keithshibley and @official_mindovermadness YouTube: @mindovermadnessmom Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Opening: Inside the Mind of a Cop — Processing Trauma and Tragedy 02:35 Meet Keith Shibley: From Virginia Cop to FBI Task Force Member 08:09 Childhood, Family Struggles & Early Trauma 17:02 Why He Chose Policing & His First Steps Into Law Enforcement 24:05 Police Academy Stories & Port Authority Beginnings 29:44 Life in Richmond Police — Violence, Chaos & Hard Lessons 36:16 Coping Mechanisms, Brotherhood & Police Culture 43:35 The Calls That Haunt You — Death, Grief & Emotional Toll 52:40 Working Domestic Terrorism & High-Risk Operations 01:00:56 The Navy Yard Shooting — What Really Happened That Day 01:12:32 Addiction Takes Over — Pills, Alcohol & Denial 01:24:52 The Breaking Point: Intervention, Rehab & Recovery 01:35:23 Overcoming Stigma & Inspiring Other First Responders 01:43:40 Mental Health, Programs & Breaking the Silence 01:49:44 Final Reflections — Healing, Hope & Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.

Elliot Resnick grew up in a stable, loving home and lived what many would consider a “normal life.” He worked in journalism, had a deep interest in politics, and reported on major national stories. But everything changed on January 6th, 2021. After attending the Capitol event that day, Elliot followed the crowd inside — a decision that would come back to haunt him nearly two years later. In a shocking turn, federal agents arrested him, and he was charged for his involvement in storming the U.S. Capitol. He was later sentenced to federal prison, facing the reality of losing everything — his freedom, career, and reputation. But his story didn’t end there. While serving time, Elliot became one of the few involved in the January 6th cases to receive a presidential pardon — granted by former President Donald Trump — leading to his early release. #January6 #CapitolRiot #PrisonStory #ExConStory #Prisoner #RealStory #RedemptionJourney #FirstHandAccount Connect with Elliot Resnick: X: @ResnickElliot Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 The Journalist Who Went to Prison – Introduction 01:21 From News Reporter to Federal Inmate 04:43 Visiting Hours, Family Support & What Prison Teaches You 10:44 Childhood, Upbringing & Early Lessons in Life 17:42 Discovering Politics & Finding a Voice 23:43 15 Years in Journalism – Covering the Stories That Mattered 29:57 Life Before Everything Changed 34:43 January 6th: Why He Went to the Capitol 41:43 Inside the Chaos – Crowd, Police & Personal Motives 49:43 After the Capitol: Regret, Reflection & Reality 55:52 Coming Home & Facing the Fallout 01:00:22 The FBI Knock & Facing Federal Charges 01:08:25 Inside Danbury Federal Prison – First Day to Daily Routine 01:15:46 Faith Behind Bars – The Role of Religion in Survival 01:22:13 Trump’s Pardon & Life After Prison 01:26:00 Lessons on Justice, Freedom & Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.

Robert Rodriguez went from enforcing prison rules… to running the prison from the inside. After serving in the military, Robert became a correctional officer in Georgia — stepping into what he describes as one of the most corrupt prison systems in America. As a young officer, he quickly got swept into a brutal culture of violence, cover-ups, and unchecked power. He participated in beatings, witnessed extreme abuse, and says officers were rewarded for silence. Promoted to sergeant, Robert was rising through the system — until one tragic night. A fatal drunk driving accident led to a 14-year prison sentence… and everything flipped. The former sergeant entered the very world he once controlled — now wearing shackles instead of a badge. Inside, Robert didn’t just survive — he became a high-ranking gang member, involved in smuggling contraband, controlling prison politics, and even having illicit relationships with staff. He eventually helped run operations behind bars. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #DirtyCop #CorrectionalOfficer #WentToPrison #LawEnforcementTruth #RedemptionStory #LockedInPodcast Thank you to BLUECHEW & GLD for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Michael Dilks served his country in the military before transitioning into law enforcement, joining the police force and later the Sheriff’s Department. As a member of a narcotics task force, he helped take down major operations, making high-stakes busts and battling the drug trade in Florida. But everything changed when he began to suspect that members of his own narcotics team might be crossing lines. His concerns eventually led to him becoming the focus of an FBI and DEA inquiry — a mistaken suspicion that cast a long shadow over the rest of his career. Even though he was never charged, living under that cloud changed everything. After two decades in law enforcement, Michael retired — but instead of staying silent, he turned to social media to finally tell his side of the story. #DopeCop #DEA #FBIInvestigation #TrueCrimeStories #LawEnforcement #PoliceInterview #FloridaStories #CriminalJustice Thank you to BLUECHEW & GLD for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Sabrena Collins had what most people would call a good upbringing — but by 13 years old, she was already hooked on meth. After getting sober once, a painful divorce sent her spiraling back into addiction and deeper into the drug world. What started as using turned into selling, and one night a police chase changed everything — ending with Sabrena being shot in the head by law enforcement. Instead of ending there, things got worse.

Retired police Sgt. John Mattingly sits down to share the unfiltered truth about his decades in law enforcement. From working narcotics and violent crimes to running postage interdiction, Mattingly has seen it all — and some of those cases still haunt him to this day. In this powerful interview, he opens up about his early years as a police officer, the dangers of working narcotics cases, and the emotional weight of investigating violent crimes. He also talks about the unique world of postage interdiction and the major arrests it led to. But the case that changed everything was the Breonna Taylor raid, where Mattingly was shot and nearly killed. He discusses how that night ended his career, how the media shaped the public narrative, and what he says really happened during the raid. This is a raw, honest conversation about the realities of police work, the trauma that comes with it, the impact of media coverage, and what life is like after walking away from the badge. #JohnMattingly #BreonnaTaylorCase #LawEnforcementStories #PoliceInterview #TrueCrimePodcast #MediaTruth #NarcoticsUnit #LockedInPodcast Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.

Davon Eldemire grew up in the hood in Bridgeport, Connecticut with no father in the picture, raised by his mom and sisters as the only boy in the house. He had a passion for basketball but eventually got consumed by the street life, giving up his dream. That path led to a robbery where he shot someone and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In this interview, Davon opens up about what it was like growing up without a father, how the streets pulled him in, and the moment that changed everything and landed him in prison. He shares what the years behind bars taught him about life, the mindset shift that turned his sentence into an opportunity, and how he is now using his experience to mentor the youth and keep them from going down the same path. #RaisedInTheHood #PrisonStories #LockedInPodcast #StreetLife #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #RedemptionStory #lifeafterprison Thank you to BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.

Ex-Hells Angels leader George Christie sits down with Ian Bick for an explosive, no-holds-barred interview. Christie reveals what it was really like to run the Ventura, California chapter of the Hells Angels for over 30 years — the violence, the brotherhood, the FBI investigations, and the moment he decided to walk away from the outlaw life for good. In this powerful conversation, George shares what life was like as a Hells Angels leader, the truth about outlaw biker culture, what it was like serving time in federal prison, why he left the club after three decades, and the lessons he learned about loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. #HellsAngels #OutlawBiker #GeorgeChristie #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonStories #MotorcycleClub #OutlawLife #ianbick Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring today's episode!

Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there’s no real justice in America’s system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day. #DEA #Cartels #DrugTrafficking #MS13 #MexicanMafia #TrueCrimePodcast #TrendeAragua #organizedcrime Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Lee Morris’ life story is a raw and powerful journey from bank robbery and brutal prison time to redemption. Growing up in Duchess County, New York, Lee’s childhood was shaken by his parents’ divorce, leading him down a troubled path. After moving to Florida as a teenager, he fell in with the wrong crowd, began robbing houses, and eventually escalated to robbing a bank — a decision that landed him four years in one of Florida’s toughest youthful offender prisons. Even after his release, Lee continued down a destructive road and was sent back to prison 16 years later for drug charges. Today, he’s sharing his story of survival, the realities of prison life, and how he finally turned his life around after years of chaos and incarceration. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #BankRobbery #PrisonLife #FloridaPrison #RedemptionStory #SecondChances #LockedInWithIanBick Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: The Bank Robbery 00:18 Lee's Troubled Childhood 03:02 Family Background and Early Influences 06:00 Growing Up in Poverty 09:19 Early Delinquency and Moving to Florida 13:14 Getting Involved with Guns and Crime 15:36 From House Robberies to Robbing a Bank 18:16 The Bank Heist Unfolds 20:54 Aftermath: Getting Caught and Facing Court 25:00 Prison: Sentencing and First Days 27:00 Surviving Florida Youthful Offender Prison 33:36 Prison Violence and Racism 40:44 Learning Prison Rules and Inmate Justice 45:12 Family Support During Incarceration 47:51 Smuggling, Confinement, and Prison Life 52:52 Release: Getting Out and Reentering Society 55:40 Back to the Streets: Drugs, Probation, and Temptation 01:01:03 Drifting Back into Crime 01:04:49 Major Drug Case and Second Arrest 01:07:40 Second Prison Term: Adult System 01:13:33 Contrasts Between Youthful Offender and Adult Prison 01:15:54 Lessons Learned From Prison 01:20:27 Work Release and Returning to Society 01:24:12 Making a Fresh Start: Moving North 01:26:00 Finding Support and Unconditional Love 01:28:03 Life Today and Reflections 01:29:00 Advice for Young People & Final Thoughts Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Louis Ruggiero grew up in New York City with privilege and connections — his mother, Rosanna Scotto, is a famous Fox News anchor, and his father is an attorney. But behind the perfect image, Louis was spiraling into addiction.

Nick Gojcaj grew up in Queens dreaming of becoming an NYPD cop, but after that didn’t work out, he spent 20 years in the corporate world before making a drastic career change in his 40s—joining Rikers Island as a corrections officer. For three years he worked inside one of America’s most notorious jails, dealing with chaos, violence, and the daily dangers of being a prison guard, until a confrontation with inmates left him permanently disabled. Instead of protecting him, Rikers illegally terminated his job, sparking a legal battle that he’s still fighting today.

Joseph Schultze’s life looked nothing like the path that would eventually lead him toward prison. Growing up in Binghamton, New York, he had a loving home — but also parents battling cocaine addiction. Forced to take care of them while still a teenager, Joseph dropped out of high school and developed crippling anxiety. A car accident became the turning point that pulled him into painkillers, harder drugs, and a spiral of crime that racked up multiple larceny charges. Facing years behind bars, Joseph took a chance on New York’s infamous shock program — a grueling alternative to prison designed to break inmates down physically and mentally. #AddictionRecovery #PrisonStories #ShockProgram #OvercomingAddiction #TrueCrimePodcast #AddictionAwareness #LifeAfterPrison #RecoveryJourney Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Early Addiction 00:50 Meet Joe: Hometown and Upbringing 02:00 Parents' Punk Rock Past & Family Struggles 04:04 Childhood Stories 07:00 Parents' Arrest 09:45 Family History & Normalcy Amidst Chaos 12:26 Dreams for the Future & Sports 13:51 Struggles in School and Dropping Out 14:44 Hitting Rock Bottom in High School 17:17 The GED, New School, and Finding Purpose 18:35 Early Jobs & Anxiety Takes Over 19:37 Battling Severe Anxiety and Isolation 21:18 Emerging from Anxiety 22:26 Family Crises and New Responsibilities 23:54 Balancing Business, Love, and Parental Care 27:32 Becoming a Parent: Breaking the Cycle? 32:30 The Accident That Changed Everything 36:56 Raising a Daughter 40:40 Understanding His Parents 42:58 Losing Prescription Access 45:39 Descent Into Heroin and Selling Possessions 47:59 From Using to Dealing & Living the Fast Life 52:40 Boosting: Shoplifting to Survive 57:07 Life of Boosting: Escalation and Arrests 01:04:04 Legal Trouble: Juggling Charges and Addiction 01:11:49 The Downward Spiral: High-Speed Chases & More Crime 01:18:19 Identity Theft & First Long Jail Stint 01:26:32 Jail, Withdrawal, and Hitting Bottom 01:36:08 Back to the Streets: Meth, Cars & Escalation 01:42:17 Caught Again: The End of Bonnie & Clyde 01:44:55 State Time: Programs & Military Boot Camp 01:56:41 Shock Program: Getting Broken Down to Build Up 02:08:08 Completing Shock & The Path to Recovery 02:13:13 Staying Sober, Rebuilding Life & Family 02:20:00 Lessons Learned & Final Thoughts 02:25:52 Outro & Gratitude Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Justin Paperny had the perfect life — a privileged childhood in California, a promising baseball career, and by 26, he was the youngest broker at Bear Stearns’ Los Angeles office. But behind the polished image, greed took over. First, it was stealing commissions. Then, he got pulled into a multi-million dollar fraud scheme with a client. At 32, he traded luxury boardrooms for 18 months in federal prison camp. In this interview, Justin reveals how his choices unraveled his career, the reality of life inside a federal prison camp, and how he turned his biggest mistake into a new mission — helping others avoid the same fate. His story is a cautionary tale of ambition, greed, and redemption. #WhiteCollarCrime #PrisonStories #FraudCase #FederalPrison #FinanceScandal #PrisonInterviews #TrueCrimePodcast #redemptionstory Connect with Justin Paperny: Website: https://free.whitecollaradvice.com/google2?utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=White+Collar+Advice&utm_campaign=KS-Leads-Search-Brand&utm_content=Brand-Exact&utm_keyword=justin+paperny&utm_matchtype=e&campaign_id=22279642692&ad_group_id=174779004879&ad_id=734949328994&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22279642692&gbraid=0AAAAAC59KDbd9vbZE8r8cORPwr__0suk-&gclid=CjwKCAjwtfvEBhAmEiwA-DsKjqq4EOzZG9qXnXhrGdbvhfgeOeaGsqJOA-Y0j_5b61KcCob5GtNevxoCU0cQAvD_BwE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitecollaradviceteam/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Justin's Story & Downfall 02:23 From Wall Street to Prison 06:41 Turning Prison into Purpose 12:12 Building a New Life After Release 24:24 Baseball Dreams & Early Influences 36:00 Breaking into Finance 43:38 The Slippery Slope: Small Cheats, Big Consequences 51:13 Rationalizations and the Cost of Fraud 01:01:12 The Federal Investigation and Plea 01:05:41 Preparing for Prison and Self-Reflection 01:13:21 Life Inside: Surprising Prison Realities 01:28:39 Finding Redemption & Building Discipline 01:35:01 Life After Prison: Stigma, Success & Giving Back 01:44:34 Final Reflections & Outro Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick Marshal seemed like a regular kid from New Jersey — good family, middle-class upbringing, and a bright future. But peer pressure and street life led him into drug dealing while still in high school. By 20, Nick was deep in the game: selling, using, and even robbing his suppliers. He tried to walk away, but one final robbery got him caught — and landed him in prison. In this interview, Nick opens up about his rise and fall in the drug world, the day he got arrested, what prison was really like, and how he rebuilt his life in New York’s nightlife scene after serving 3 years behind bars. #DrugGameSurvivor #PrisonToRedemption #TrueCrimeStories #NYCNightlife #ExDealerStory #FromStreetsToSuccess #LockedInPodcast #SecondChanceJourney Connect with Nick Marshall: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenickmarshall/ Buy his book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Try-Again/Nick-Marshall/9781632280985 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 The Setup: Chaos, Crime, and Fear 00:52 Meet Nick Marshall: Double Life Begins 02:15 Try Again: Writing and Redemption 04:53 Coming Clean: Telling His Story 05:36 Second Chances & Hard Work 06:55 Sponsor Break: Magic Mind 07:50 Early Years: Growing Up in New Jersey 09:02 Anger, Fights, and Bullying 11:39 First Job, First Crime 13:33 Drug Dealing Origins 15:55 Transferring Schools & More Trouble 20:10 The Teen Drug Game Ramps Up 22:43 Family Troubles & Selling Escalates 26:02 High Life, High Risk: Nightclubs & Escalation 30:16 Robbery Plans and Downfall 33:02 A Life Unraveling 36:40 Violent Turns and Final Heist 40:19 The Aftermath: Panic and Guilt 43:15 The Arrest: Facing Justice 50:19 Jail: First Experiences & Reality Sets In 01:05:00 Legal Battle: Attorneys and Pleas 01:16:08 A Shot at Redemption 01:21:22 Prison Time 01:38:09 Prison Lessons and Survival 01:50:19 Life After Prison: Rebuilding 01:56:03 What I Learned: Reflections and Advice 02:00:30 Closing Lessons & Farewell Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Taylor Cavanaugh’s journey is unlike anything you’ve heard. As a teenager with a criminal record, no one expected him to make it far—let alone become a Navy SEAL. But against all odds, Taylor completed BUD/S and joined SEAL Team 7. Just when it seemed like his life had turned around, legal trouble ended his military career. After being kicked out of the SEALs, Taylor spiraled into addiction and depression, eventually hitting rock bottom. That’s when he made a radical decision: to join the French Foreign Legion. In this interview, Taylor opens up about his fight for redemption, what it really takes to become a SEAL, and how he rebuilt his life from the ground up. #NavySEAL #FrenchForeignLegion #AddictionRecovery #TrueStory #RedemptionArc #VeteranInterview #LockedInWithIanBick #militaryjourney Connect with Taylor Cavanaugh: Website: www.taylorcavanaugh.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tcavofficial?

Damon Shepard got into corrections to make a difference—but what he found inside nearly destroyed him. Raised by a single mother in St. Louis, Damon was inspired in high school to pursue a career in criminal justice. After falling short of becoming a police officer, he landed a job inside a juvenile correctional facility. But the reality was far from what he expected. Plagued by corruption, drugs, and a toxic environment, Damon was eventually set up and charged with bringing in contraband himself. Forced to resign and clear his name, he now speaks out about the truth behind the system. In this interview, Damon breaks down what really goes on behind bars—and how the people meant to protect can sometimes be part of the problem. #PrisonCorruption #JuvenileJustice #TrueCrime #CorrectionsOfficer #Whistleblower #LockedInWithIanBick #CriminalJusticeSystem #ExposingTheTruth Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 A Sudden Accusation 00:12 Damon's Background & Early Dreams 01:51 Inspirations and Upbringing 04:16 Family, Education, and Ambitions 08:38 Trying and Failing the Police Academy 13:09 Learning Security on the Streets 17:21 Moving Up: School Safety Advocate 20:48 Lessons from Working with Kids 24:01 Environment and Upbringing in Crime 27:21 Transitioning into Corrections 29:28 Early Days Inside Juvenile Detention 32:22 Trouble Brewing: Drugs in the Facility 39:17 First Major Contraband Incident 44:11 Breakouts and Rising Tensions 52:14 Being Accused & Set Up Again 01:00:28 Corruption & Aftermath 01:08:13 Surviving on the Inside 01:12:27 The Kid's Backstories and Their Impact 01:15:26 What Kids Really Need 01:16:29 Losing Faith in the Justice System 01:19:43 The Problem Runs Deeper Than St. Louis 01:21:06 Moving Forward—A New Purpose 01:22:33 Lessons Learned and Final Thoughts Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

John Lendall’s life spiraled before it ever had a chance to begin. Growing up in Massachusetts with parents addicted to drugs, John dropped out of high school as a freshman and ended up in juvenile detention twice before turning 18. By 19, he was hooked on pills and chasing his next high — until one night, a robbery for drugs turned deadly. Charged with murder and facing 18–20 years, John took a plea deal and cooperated with authorities. He spent 12 years behind bars. In this interview, John shares what really happened that night, what prison taught him, and how he's trying to rebuild a life after a childhood of chaos and a past he can’t undo. #TrueCrime #PrisonStory #AddictionRecovery #JuvenileJustice #MurderCase #LockedInWithIanBick #CrimePodcast #FromPrisonToRedemption Connect with John Lendall: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workingmandistillers/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kobythedistillerydog/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.lendall.2025 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 John Lendle's Troubled Past and Prison Sentence 00:04:36 Childhood Exposure to Illegal Activities 00:09:50 Impact of Gang Presence on School Life 00:15:11 Life in Juvenile Detention 00:20:09 Unconventional Journey Home 00:25:22 Journey into Drug Addiction 00:31:09 Initiation into Armed Robbery 00:37:01 The Gunshot Incident and Its Aftermath 00:42:40 Arrest and Confession: A Turning Point 00:48:01 Legal Challenges and Sentencing 00:54:19 Struggles with Addiction and Recovery in Prison 00:59:02 Navigating Prison Life and Social Dynamics 01:04:15 Journey of Self-Forgiveness and Reflection 01:09:24 Evolution of Communication: Texting to Facetiming 01:14:29 Juggling Multiple Jobs: A Personal Journey 01:19:35 The Impact of Rescuing Dogs as Pets 01:24:18 Final Thoughts and Farewell Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Sharita Richardson went from respected educator and mental health business owner to federal inmate. Raised by a single mom in North Carolina, Sharita followed a passion for helping others, leaving behind a career in teaching to open her own mental health agency. But when government regulations changed and the money stopped flowing, she found herself in financial crisis — and made a life-altering decision. What started as a desperate move turned into a multi-million dollar Medicare fraud scheme. Years later, the FBI showed up. In this interview, Sharita breaks down how it all happened, the day she was arrested, and what 23 months in federal prison taught her about survival, guilt, and redemption. #MedicareFraud #TrueCrime #PrisonStory #WhiteCollarCrime #MentalHealthBusiness #LockedInWithIanBick #FBIArrest #FederalPrison #SharitaRichardson #redemptionstory Connect with Sharita Richardson: Instagram: @IamSharitaMona TikTok: @SharitaMona Website: www.freesharita.com Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 The Rise and Fall of a Medicare Fraud Scheme 00:05:50 Career Shift from Law School to Teaching 00:11:45 Starting a Group Home: From Idea to Reality 00:17:52 The Journey from Teacher to Entrepreneur 00:24:11 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Insecurity 00:30:53 Discovering a System Scam 00:36:56 Mastering Accreditation Consulting 00:42:10 Understanding Fluffed Billing Practices 00:48:07 Understanding the Group Home Business Model 00:53:55 Struggling to Maintain Lifestyle Amidst Financial Pressure 01:00:00 Life-Altering Decision to Start Over 01:06:00 Unexpected Encounter with the FBI 01:12:01 Confrontation and Revelation at Starbucks 01:17:32 Understanding Conspiracy Charges 01:23:12 Life Transformation After Incarceration 01:29:11 Transitioning from Teaching to Entrepreneurship Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Bigfacehead grew up in the streets of Hartford, CT, surrounded by poverty and pain. With his father behind bars and no clear path forward, he dropped out of school at 16 and turned to the drug game — making $5,000 a week selling crack. But that fast money came with a price. At just 20 years old, Bigfacehead was caught in a sweeping federal RICO case and sentenced to 60 months in federal prison. In this interview, he shares what life was really like on the streets, how the feds built their case, and what prison was like for him. #PrisonStory #FederalPrison #StreetLife #HartfordCT #RICOCase #DrugGame #RedemptionStory #LockedInPodcast Connect with Bigfacehead: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BDHWWBxtL/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigfacehead?igsh=MTQ0bGN6czBuY2owYw== Snapchat: @bigfacehead YouTube: ​⁠ http://youtube.com/@BIGFACEHEADMUSIC Twitter: @bigfacehead Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 Street Dreams and Federal Nightmares: The Jonas Nelson Story 00:05:38 Discovering Personal Faith and Beliefs 00:11:57 Life Lessons from a Protective Mother 00:18:02 Reflections on Selling Drugs and Street Life 00:24:29 First Encounter with Federal Agents 00:30:27 Undercover Surveillance and Phone Tapping 00:36:24 Arrest Over Alleged Car Theft 00:42:28 Navigating Legal Challenges: Probation Violation and Safety Valve 00:48:33 Arrival and First Impressions in Prison 00:54:29 Incarceration Experiences and Challenges 01:02:48 Preparing for Life After Prison 01:06:30 Meeting Mobb Deep: A Connection from Prison 01:12:26 Building Lasting Connections in Prison 01:18:37 Guiding Kids Away from Bad Choices 01:24:45 Teen Entrepreneurial Journey 01:32:55 Reflections on Past Mistakes and Financial Growth 01:37:00 Future Music Releases and Projects Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Clark Fredericks' life was forever changed by one of the darkest betrayals imaginable—he was groomed and abused by his Boy Scout leader, a man who was also a respected police officer.

But when Cuba refused to take him back, Yosvani was released—left in legal limbo, unable to fully move forward with his life. #ImmigrationPrison #DetentionCenter #PrivatePrison #ImmigrationDetention #ICEDetention #PrisonStory #HumanRights #TheSystemExposed Connect with Yogi: Youtube: https://youtube.com/@havefaithshowlovegivehope?si=Lu9ppGiP9lYjxGLk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YogiGacita?mibextid=ZbWKwL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yosvanigacita/profilecard/?igsh=MWN3b2RybW95bmMyZA== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: https://convictclothing.net/collections/convict-clothing-x-ian-bick Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and Podcast Promotion 00:05:01 Escaping Cuba: A Personal Journey 00:10:07 Heroin Indictment and Legal Consequences 00:15:16 Life in Immigration Prisons: Personal Experience and Insights 00:20:11 Prison Life and Inmate Hierarchy 00:25:10 Dangers of Returning to the Dominican Republic 00:30:13 Prison Life: Social Dynamics and Routines 00:35:00 Life Before and After Prison 00:39:41 Leadership Dynamics Among Cuban Prisoners 00:44:36 Prison Respect and Culture 00:49:20 Immigration Visitation Concerns 00:54:30 Life Inside County Jail and Deportation Process 00:59:27 Immigration Detention and Release Process 01:04:24 From Podcasts to Fitness Motivation 01:09:37 Building Bridges Through Faith and Conversation 01:14:50 Navigating Immigration Challenges in the U.S. 01:19:53 Reflections on Citizenship and Politics Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

The program is centered around teaching self discipline through making and obtaining goals, using boxing and MMA as the medium. The money is used for equipment and building a safe space to train and socialize to keep kids from getting involved in gang life and the like.

Army veteran Paul Schiffbauer, Sr. got a civilian job that led him to a criminal enterprise. Hired to collect money from vending machines, Paul was soon in on the real purpose of his company — to run an illegal gambling operation. This was the early ‘90s in Maryland, and video poker games were only supposed to be used for “amusement” purposes. Paul moved up in the organization and ended up lobbying politicians, making “political donations” that were really pay-offs, and racketeering, money laundering, fraud, extortion, and bribery. Paul wrote a book about his experiences called “Amusement Only” and talks with Ian about his life 30 years ago and what he’s up to now. Big thank you to FACTOR for sponsoring this episode.

Sheriff John Staley has over 20 years of law enforcement experience in Central Arkansas. His father and brother also work in law enforcement, so he has strong family ties to the criminal justice system. He is passionate about the Peers Achieving Collaborative Treatment (PACT) program in Lonoke County, which seeks to aid inmates battling addiction. Sheriff Staley also gives his take on two major career events. In 2019, Sheriff Staley struck an inmate at Lonoke County Jail during a search, and footage of the incident was later released. Then in 2021, Sheriff Staley fired a sergeant who didn’t follow body-cam protocol when he approached a teen … who he later ended up shooting to death. Sheriff Staley also talks about his work as an instructor for other law enforcement officers and shares stories about his time on the other side of the law.

Few people know more about the generational impact of drug use more than Andrew Hager. Andrew had the deck stacked against him before he was born: his mother was a 15-year-old addict, and his father died while driving drunk before Andrew was born. He used drugs throughout his life and was in and out of prison. Two of his four children also served time, and his daughter died from a drug overdose at age 27. But after success with a 12-step program, faith in God, and a purpose to help those with their own addictions, Andrew has been sober for more than eight years.
