    I Was A Skinhead In LA County Jail – Then I Hunted Drug Cartels In Mexico | Dave Franke

    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!

    I Was Sent to Juvenile Prison — This Is What It’s Like | Michy Morillo

    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 As a teenager, her house arrest was revoked, and she was sent to juvenile prison, where she spent years navigating a system that was not built to help kids, but to break them.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.

    My Grandfather Is Victor Orena — He’s 91 Years Old & Still in Prison | Jackie Orena

    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.

    I Was Caught Trafficking Drugs Overseas & Locked Up Abroad | LaTascia Taylor

    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.

    I Was Toledo’s Most Wanted — Then I Went to Prison | Devin Prince

    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.
