    I Went Undercover Against My Own NYPD Officers — Then They Sent Me to Rikers | Steven Lee

    Steven Lee rose to the rank of sergeant in the NYPD before everything collapsed. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Steven breaks down one of the most dangerous things a cop can do — go undercover against his own department for Internal Affairs — and what the system did to him afterward. Years later an off duty incident at a nightclub ended his career and landed him on Rikers Island. He opens up about what it's really like being a former cop behind bars, the corruption he witnessed and exposed, and the true cost of speaking out against your own brothers in blue. _____________________________________________ #NYPD #PoliceCOrruption #rikersisland _____________________________________________ Thank you to RAYCON for sponsoring this episode: The Everyday Earbuds Classic are the perfect addition to your everyday routine.

    I Lost 300 Pounds in Federal Prison — Here's How I Did It | Rusty Pangburn

    Rusty Pangburn joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share how he went from selling candy as a kid to becoming involved in large-scale meth trafficking. Raised by a single mother and growing up between Missouri and California with his father out of the picture, Rusty was always searching for acceptance and a way to fit in. That mindset led him from small hustles into the drug world, where he became a key player working with major meth networks. In this episode, he breaks down how he got pulled into drug trafficking, what life was like on the inside of that world, and how it all came crashing down when he was arrested and sentenced to 5 years in federal prison. Rusty also shares his experience behind bars, including losing nearly 300 pounds during his sentence, and what it took to survive, change, and rebuild his life after prison. _____________________________________________ #FederalPrison #DrugTrafficking #Meth #TrueCrime #PrisonStory #ExInmate #CrimeStory #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Rusty Pangburn: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rustypangburn/ Website: https://www.whynotmindset.net/about-rusty LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rustin-pangburn62276?trk=public_post_follow-view-profile _____________________________________________ 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: 00:00 500 Pounds, Meth Dealer, Federal Prison: Rusty's Story 00:20 Never Had a Home: Growing Up on the Run 01:19 No Dad, No Rules: Where It All Started 02:56 The $100 Kid: How It Started with Candy 04:41 From Candy to Cigarettes: Taking Over School 06:32 The Day He Quit School and Never Looked Back 08:03 When the Money Got Real 10:03 The First Time He Touched Meth 12:47 Running His Own Meth Operation 13:33 The Connect That Changed Everything 15:20 Moving Hundreds of Pounds: Leading a Trafficking Ring 17:01 When He Started Using His Own Product 18:49 The Day the Feds Knocked on His Door 21:10 Cash, Cars & the Life Before It Crashed 23:12 Facing Federal Charges: What the DA Offered 26:29 First Day Inside Federal Prison 29:24 500 Pounds in a Prison Cell: The Wake-Up Call 34:00 How He Survived Federal Prison Every Day 39:39 Walking Out After 5 Years: The World Had Changed 44:08 No One Would Hire a Federal Felon 47:40 Building from Zero: His First Legit Dollar 52:58 The People Who Didn't Give Up on Him 58:48 How He Stays Out: Life After the Gates 01:05:48 What He'd Tell the Kid Selling Candy 01:09:48 His New Mission: Why Not? 01:11:12 Where to Follow Rusty _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

    I Spent 20 Years in Prison — I Watched a Man Get Set on Fire | Charles "Cadillac" Anderson

    Charles “Cadillac” Anderson joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of spending over 20 years in the Arkansas and federal prison systems. Growing up in a rough neighborhood surrounded by gangs and violence, with his father in and out of his life, Charles was raised by a mother who did everything she could—but the streets pulled him in. Trying to fit in and be accepted led to a robbery charge that landed him 13 years in the Arkansas prison system, where he was sent to a max unit and exposed to extreme violence on a daily basis. In this episode, he talks about being stabbed in prison, witnessing brutal attacks, and what it takes to survive behind bars. After his release, he developed a drug addiction and began dealing, which ultimately led to a federal prison sentence. Charles opens up about hitting rock bottom, the cycle of crime and addiction, and how he finally turned his life around after serving decades behind bars. This is a raw, unfiltered look at prison life, violence, addiction, and redemption. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #ExInmate #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #BehindBars #LifeSentence #FederalPrison #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Charles "Cadilac" Anderson: https://www.facebook.com/charles.cadillac.anderson _____________________________________________ 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 How He Lost 20 Years of His Life 00:19 Growing Up in Southwest Little Rock 01:19 His Childhood and Family Life 03:37 Trouble Started Early 04:46 First Crimes as a Kid 05:56 Addiction Took Over Fast 07:55 Dropping Out of School 09:49 Missed Chances That Changed Everything 11:07 First Robberies 13:11 Getting Caught 16:13 First Time in Jail 17:46 Learning How to Survive 19:19 Sentenced and Sent to Prison 21:26 Life in Maximum Security 23:33 Violence Inside Prison 26:34 Solitary Confinement 30:56 Getting Out and Starting Over 33:43 Relapse and Losing Everything Again 36:53 Second Arrest and Federal Charges 42:12 Back to Prison 50:33 Prison Politics and Survival 56:12 Finally Getting Out 01:03:43 Turning His Life Around 01:10:10 What He Would Tell His Younger Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
