• Fu Banger: Nine Trey RICO, Epstein in Prison & 6ix9ine’s Robbery

  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.

• I Survived “The Jungle” — New York’s Most Dangerous Prison | Nesto

  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.

• I Scammed Casinos — Then Nevada Forced Me To Survive Prison | James Reda

  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.

• I Survived 10+ Years in Florida State Prison | Angela Nicolazzi

  Angela Nicolazzi grew up in Brooklyn before moving to Florida, where her life took a dramatic turn. She became a mother at just 14 years old, struggled to stay on a stable path, and by 19 found herself involved in an armed robbery with her brother and her child’s father. That moment changed everything—Angela was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 15 years in the Florida state prison system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Angela shares her full story: her childhood, early motherhood, the events that led to her arrest, what life inside a Florida prison was really like, and how she rebuilt her identity after serving more than a decade behind bars. #FloridaStatePrison #PrisonSurvival #PrisonStory #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #PrisonLife #TrueCrimePodcast #redemptionstory Thank you to AURA FRAMES & k9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.
