    I Was Hells Angels President — These Are the Prison Stories I Never Told Anyone | Charles "Pee Wee" Goldsmith Pt. 2

    2026-05-14 | 2h 21 mins.
    Charles "Pee Wee" Goldsmith is back. The former President of the Hells Angels Las Vegas chapter returns to Locked In with Ian Bick for Part 2 — and this time nothing is held back. In this episode Pee Wee goes deeper than ever before. From police raids and Tony Soprano comparisons to the untold stories from inside the club, the Hollywood appearances nobody knew about, and what it was really like going to prison as a Hell's Angel. He opens up about his biggest regrets as President, the members who never should have joined, and what the next generation of bikers will never understand about the old school way of life. This is the conversation Hell's Angels insiders don't want you to hear.

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

    2026-05-13 | 4h 34 mins.
    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.

    I Was an Arkansas State Senator — Then I Was Sent to Federal Prison | Jeremy Hutchinson

    2026-05-12 | 1h 31 mins.
    Jeremy Hutchinson was an Arkansas State Senator and successful attorney from one of the most powerful political families in the state. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jeremy breaks down how it all collapsed — the case that led to his federal conviction, what it's really like facing charges as a public figure, and what nobody tells you about going to federal prison as a politician. He opens up about white collar crime, the political pressure that surrounded his case, the mistakes that changed everything, and what accountability actually looks like when you've lost it all.

    I Did 12 Years in Prison — Then Married the Guard Who Watched Me | Jacob Bittner

    2026-05-11 | 1h 32 mins.
    Jacob Bittner was a teenager from a good home when a series of bad decisions led to 12 years in the Arkansas prison system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jacob breaks down how it all unraveled — from his first robbery, to going on the run, to pulling off another one and paying for it with over a decade of his life. He opens up about surviving the violence and harsh realities of Arkansas prisons, the lessons he learned the hard way, and the twist nobody saw coming — after his release, he fell in love with and married a prison guard.

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

    2026-05-10 | 1h 16 mins.
    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.
