[@sortaforida718]

Dude you have to have my best friend on when he gets out of prison in a year or two. I'm definitely going to hook both of you together. He got 15 years on his first prison trip. His mom got 17 kids to fill fake prescriptions for her. It's a wild wild story. His mom got 57 years. This was during the pill epidemic in Florida. They made a example out of him. He didn't even like what his mom was doing. If it would have happened today he maybe would have gotten 3 years. I got caught with way way more stuff and didn't get anytime because i forfeited 300k to the police. It's always about the money for them.

This was my favorite interview from Ian Bick. It felt honest. There wasn’t the braggadocio and grandstanding that other prison people display when they brag about hitting people and going to the box. This guy is guilty, but seems to be relatively honest. A breath of fresh air.

10000% agree

[@coltonmartin5724]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

[@MainManWithAPlan]

Dude nobody is bragging about going to the box. Everyone that’s actually been in jail know it’s not bragging. Stop labeling things you never experienced.

[@TheirMommy589]

@JohnDoe33080 have been there, so has my family. But a bunch of people in these interviews do brag, and giggle, and still puff their chests trying to act big and hard and sprinkle some extra stuff in that never happened. May not be your experience, but it does happen.

[@nbitsme1629]

People don't realize how easy it would be for anyone to "fall in line" and do things/act in ways they would never do/act. I always refer bk to the Stanford prison experiment. That experiment explains a lot when ppl eventually go too far when they're not checking themselves or being checked by others.

Why bc you're from NY? Honest question. If you was in the game I can understand but if not why does it resonate? Me being from Philly I hear ogs telling their story I'm like ok cool. Other than hearing certain stuff on the streets and knowing the blocks and maybe some of the ppl. But other than that is doesn't really resonate its just a story.

[@CryptConsole]

@@nkosistrainbullies5806 This hits for me cus nyc cops are bullies they use to even stop nd frisk my lil sis, in that time you knew even if you wasn’t in that life they would mess with anyone & Lie on everything that made them look bad, look at all the nypd corruption, we even have a international unit 😅

He was just living through peoples stories of what you thought outside was this person might be saying that because they truly were out there and experienced it whether they were a part of the streets or just watching the streets. it’s not just a story, It’s what happens in their community. It’s life.

Really enjoyed the pod... being born and raised in NYC, I can understand Steven's situation, not to mention the values of being a Latino man supporting mom and wanting better for himself and his mom. I recommend Steven hit the schools and start building a mentoring/ motivational speaker seminars to our youth, letting them know 1 wrong decision can go left, but positive and healthy outcomes can be produced.

[@ra2186]

I remember that bus ride like 30 years ago. They put you on this modified type school bus. You drive through the city to hit the bridge. So while you're riding all chained up you see all these free people going about their day in the city. Then once you get close to the bridge you start to see all of these GIANT barb wire coils in the water. It let's you know right away, you're not escaping unless you're in or on a vehicle. It's life driving into another world. Once you get there, it's all hell.

[@thatnerd3186]

Dude, just the way this guy talks made this story so amazing, super calm, soothing, and no boasting

[@TheFlaco090]

Crazy how I lived everything he said about working on the Island . I did the job for 5 years and it wasn't easy. I gave up the money and a city job because of the stress level. I knew that inmates are rough to work with but the people that you work with were a whole different thing. That was the scariest thing of all

[@Elseba0287]

I’d love to hear some stories! I’m sure you have a bunch as well. But money isn’t everything man, going into work knowing you hate your job and the stress level is super high, is not good. Sounds like you did the right thing.

[@zevolfearizona2113]

I did 2 tours in different max state prisons. I'm with you. Both times I moved on was due to "staff." I didn't do anything that would put me in prison, but I sure as hell wasn't writing tickets for an extra pillow. Etc So many acted as if it was their duty to make the time as hard as possible for inmates. I was polar opposite. The loss of freedom is the punishment. I didn't want to add to that. This caused a lot of friction, to say the least. Lol

[@TheFlaco090]

LOL. I HATED when they would call me an inmate love just because I made sure they had what they where entitled to have like getting medication on time or rec for example . Most of the inmates respected me for trying to help them. A simple thing goes a long way in jail, thing that are mean nothing outside( in the town) @@zevolfearizona2113

[@TheFlaco090]

I see former inmates outside of jail and they walk up to me to show me love and some even said thanks for treating them like humans . I lost my older sister while working in Rikers and the inmates from my housing area found out some how and the all came up to me and showed me much respect and even a inmate that had cancer that became a good friend cried and always checked up on me even after I quit the job. @@Elseba0287

[@davemarnell8871]

I was an infantryman for 8 years and I knew a couple guys who got out to become prison guards. I asked them how they could decide go to prison everyday for the rest of their lives. That job has to wear on you.

[@libertarianman69]

I spent a year in jail mostly as a trustee. When I got out the maintenance guy got me a job as his helper at the jail and courthouse. It was hard to say no to the guys I was in jail with but I never gave in thank God.

[@jimdiamondcoles]

This was ridiculously entertaining. So easy to get caught up in the mix. Wow!

[@TFOX-mf2py]

Ian was wicked laid back during this interview. Made for a way better show. He allowed his guest to speak out his thoughts without constantly interrupting. Most of these pod casters or you tubers seem like their just waiting to talk instead of listening.

Wen a inmate ask you anything dealing with contraband he's a rat

[@TCC4118]

It’s not entrapment. The police didn’t give him the green light to do anything and then decided to bust him. He took it upon himself to get greedy and go the illegal route when he did not have to. He could have kept saying no.

[@svendouglas8299]

Oh yes! It's probably even WORSE now days. The 💩my husband has witnessed in GA prison systems would make the strongest man flinch. He has extreme PTSD from the things he's seen & heard from inmates AND prison personnel. Inmates run prisons and guards are mostly in on it.

He is 100% right, there is so much favoritism in these jails that it creates officers to go against each other because the officer that the favoritism falls to feels entitled to not do their assigned job and its not a problem for them because they don’t have to deal with the repercussions its so sad how one officer can make your day horrible

[@edsson2648]

According to his account of the story he had a clear case of entrapment at the federal and state level. He should have had his lawyer argue that. The inmate approached him with an opportunity. He didn't initiate the first contact.

[@chingosdinero]

You obviously have never worked at a bank or been in law enforcement. They have undercovers that purposely offer you deals to see if you take them. It’s how they keep corruption and at a bank, theft to a minimum. Entrapment has to do with a civilian and law enforcement. Like a an undercover prostitute can’t come up to you if you’re say pumping gas then they bust you for solicitation…YOU have to solicit the prostitute…it’s very different scenario.
