    I Was Sentenced to Life in Prison at 16 — Then Spent 30 Years Inside | Carlee Collins

    2026-10-05 | 1h 49 mins.
    Carlee Collins grew up in Pennsylvania with a mother who was in the game and a father who worked hard to provide. By 11 years old, he was using drugs and running the streets. At 16, he caught a murder case and was sentenced to life in Pennsylvania state prison. He would spend the next 30 years behind bars, where he completely transformed his life. After changes in the law gave juvenile lifers a chance at parole, Carlee finally walked out of prison after three decades inside.

    I Ran From the Feds for a Year — Then Got 6 Years in Federal Prison | Jaida Scaife

    2026-10-04 | 1h 57 mins.
    Jaida Diana Scaife grew up in California with an absent father and a mother struggling with addiction. She turned to drugs and the streets at a young age, fell into toxic relationships that pulled her deeper into that world, and eventually found herself in Nevada dealing drugs and working as an escort. After catching a drug case in North Dakota that led to a federal investigation, Jaida went on the run from the feds for an entire year before she and her boyfriend were finally caught. She was sentenced to 6 years in federal prison.

    I Was a Homicide Detective for 20 Years — These Are the Cases You Never Heard About | Jon Buehler

    2026-10-01 | 2h 4 mins.
    Jon Buehler spent 32 years with the Modesto Police Department, including more than 20 years as a homicide detective investigating murders and some of the most disturbing cases of his career. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jon takes us inside the cases the public never heard about — what he saw at crime scenes, how detectives actually build a murder case, the details that never made the news or came out in court, and what more than two decades of investigating homicide does to the person behind the badge. He also shares his firsthand experience working the Scott Peterson case, one of the most widely followed murder investigations and trials in American history.

    I Was a Michigan Dope Dealer — Then Spent 12 Years In Prison | Nate Johnson

    2026-09-30 | 1h 49 mins.
    Nate Johnson grew up in Michigan, turned to the streets at a young age, and cycled in and out of juvenile detention and jail before a drug and robbery case sent him to Michigan state prison for 12 and a half years. But somewhere inside those walls, everything changed. He found his purpose, committed himself to rebuilding his life, and walked out determined to help others do the same. Today, Nate has built Michigan's largest reentry organization, co-founded the state's first reentry conference and a national reentry convening, and is now developing a "Reentry Ecosystem" aimed at changing how America approaches life after prison.

    I Was the Detective Who Took Down the Zion Society Cult — Here's What Happened | Mike King

    2026-09-29 | 2h 3 mins.
    Mike King started his career on patrol and SWAT with the Ogden City Police Department in Utah before becoming the lead investigator in the 1991 Zion Society case, involving a 120-member polygamist doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed prophet Arvin Shreeve. After a member came forward and revealed what was happening inside the group, Mike and his team launched a secret 24-day investigation that ended with coordinated raids on multiple homes, 32 children being removed from the group, and Shreeve and several members ultimately going to prison. Mike later led multi-agency task forces, served as Chief of Staff to the Utah Attorney General, trained in criminal profiling, and created Profiling Evil.
