    Watching My Mom Die, Prison At 16, & Facing 50 Years

    OG Brick joins Honor Among Thieves Podcast for one of the most intense Miami street stories we’ve ever had on the show. Born and raised in Miami, OG Brick opens up about growing up between Overtown and Liberty City, being surrounded by street violence at a young age, and the traumatic moment that changed his life forever — watching his mother get murdered in front of him. From there, he says something inside him changed. By 16, OG Brick was already in prison. He talks about juvenile detention, county jail, prison politics, fighting to survive, facing 50 years, and how the system didn’t make him better — it made him worse. In this episode, OG Brick also breaks down one of the wildest courtroom stories ever told on Honor Among Thieves: the day he says he fought a correctional officer in court and still beat the case. This conversation is raw, emotional, violent, and honest. It is not about glorifying the streets. It is about trauma, consequences, survival, accountability, and what happens when a young man grows up surrounded by loss, rage, and the criminal justice system. In this episode, we cover: Growing up in Miami, Overtown, and Liberty City Watching his mother get murdered How trauma turned into anger and violence Going to prison at 16 years old Juvenile detention, county jail, and prison survival Facing 50 years in prison Fighting a correctional officer in court Miami street violence and prison politics Coming home worse after prison Redemption, reflection, and life after the streets Chapters 0:00 — Intro 1:25 — Overtown, Liberty City & The Real Miami 10:45 — Growing Up in Overtown: Poverty, Pride & Childhood Trauma 17:30 — Watching His Mother's Murder & The Moment That Changed Him Forever 20:06 — Prison at 16: Juvenile Jail, the 10th Floor & Miami Jail Violence 25:29 — Facing 50 Years: Attempted Murder Case & Prison Made Him Worse 40:41 — Back in Jail After 90 Days: Gun Cases, Trial & Street Consequences 51:14 — 15 Years Served, Life After Prison & Redemption 📌 Have an unbelievable story?

    Baltimore's Deadliest Game: How the Gambinos Flooded the City with Ecstasy

    Brian Suder sits down with Honor Among Thieves Podcast to tell his story of growing up in Baltimore, getting pulled into the city’s underground scene, and eventually becoming connected to Gambino Family associates, the ecstasy game, and the Irish mob. In this episode, Brian breaks down how a meeting with Gambino-connected figures led to him being handed 2,000 ecstasy pills, how the pills moved faster than he expected, and how he quickly went from selling a few thousand pills to attracting serious attention in Baltimore’s criminal underworld. Brian also explains the violent reality of Baltimore in the 1990s, the city’s connection to organized crime, the influence of the Italian mob, Irish mob, and street crews, and how the ecstasy market created money, paranoia, and enemies almost overnight. This conversation goes deep into Baltimore crime, the Gambino Family, ecstasy trafficking, mob politics, street violence, near-death situations, and the mindset of someone who lived inside that world but somehow avoided the prison sentence that usually comes with it. This is not about glorifying crime. It is about hearing the reality of what happens when money, ego, violence, and organized crime collide. 🎙️ Subscribe to Honor Among Thieves Podcast for more real stories from the criminal underworld, federal prison, organized crime, redemption, and life after the streets.

    Israel's Prison Gangs: Who Really Rules Behind Bars?

    Mike Mazursky returns to Honor Among Thieves Podcast to reveal what prison is really like inside Israel’s prison system after serving just over 4 years for a string of heists in Israel. In this episode, Mike breaks down the hidden power structure behind Israeli prisons — where Israelis, Arabs, and Russians each operate under different rules, politics, loyalties, and prison codes. As a Russian inmate in Israel, Mike found himself pulled into a world shaped by Russian prison culture, the thieves’ code, prison politics, gang hierarchy, respect, violence, and survival. Mike explains how the Russian prisoners organized themselves, how prison tattoos represented status, why “thief in law” culture still matters, how different groups handled conflict, and what it was like navigating Israeli prison yards where Russians, Arabs, and Israelis all had their own alliances and rules. This conversation also covers the difference between American prisons and Israeli prisons, how paperwork and charges were viewed, how inmates handled sex offenders and cooperators, the role of guards, prison food, drugs, fights, discipline, religion, and the daily reality of doing time in a foreign country. This is not a Hollywood version of prison. This is a firsthand account of what Mike lived through while incarcerated in Israel — the gangs, the rules, the politics, the fear, the survival, and the lessons he carried with him after getting out. In this episode, we cover: Mike Mazursky’s return to Honor Among Thieves Podcast Serving over 4 years in prison in Israel The three major groups inside Israeli prisons: Russians, Arabs, and Israelis How Russian inmates operated behind bars Russian prison culture, tattoos, and the thieves’ code What “thief in law” means inside prison culture How prison gangs controlled different parts of the system The difference between Israeli prisons and American prisons Prison politics, respect, violence, and survival How inmates handled paperwork, charges, and reputation Guards, discipline, prison food, drugs, and daily life The mental pressure of doing time in a foreign country Mike’s prison stories and what he learned after losing his freedom This episode gives a rare look inside Israel’s prison gangs, the Russian criminal underworld, and the inmate politics most people never get to hear about.
