Locked In with Ian Bick

Josh Foriska grew up in a good family with a father who was a cop — and still chose to sell drugs, built his way into a large drug conspiracy, led police on a high speed chase, and eventually got indicted by the federal government in a major conspiracy case before taking a plea deal involving ghost dope that produced a 63 month federal prison sentence.

Dusty Turner was granted parole in January 2026 after spending more than 30 years behind bars for a murder he has always maintained he did not commit. Growing up in a military family, Dusty achieved his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL at just 19 years old and joined SEAL Team 4 in Virginia. But in 1995, one night in Virginia Beach changed the course of his life forever, setting off a chain of events that would take him from one of the most elite military units in the world to an 82-year sentence in Virginia state prison. More than three decades later, Dusty is finally out and telling the complete story of what happened that night, the decisions that followed, the evidence that emerged years later, his fight for freedom, and what it feels like to rebuild his life after losing more than 30 years behind bars.

Laquan Rouse grew up in New Jersey associating with gang members without ever joining, was a star athlete who had every reason to believe sports would define his future — until he got shot three times his senior year of high school and had to decide who he was actually going to become. He straightened his life out and became a New Jersey correctional officer, spending three years working the floor inside Trenton State Prison and other New Jersey facilities where he earned respect from inmates, witnessed corrupt guards, and accumulated funny stories and hard truths. Then he walked away voluntarily — and is now sharing why.

Michael L. Burge grew up in North Carolina and Virginia, watched his parents split, was a good kid overall — skipped college, started working, got caught up with the wrong crowd, started robbing houses and businesses, and received a 17 year sentence in the North Carolina state prison system that took him in at 23 years old and handed him back to the world at 40.

Jason Keller became a criminal defense attorney in Arizona, developed addictions to drugs and alcohol that compromised every professional boundary available, took on clients who were members of the New Mexican Mafia, and eventually crossed the single most alarming line available for an officer of the court — smuggling drugs and cell phones into prison for the same clients he was supposed to be defending — before getting caught and receiving a sentence of over six years inside the Arizona state prison system he had spent his career navigating from the other side of the courtroom.
