Max B sits down with Ian Bick for a raw, open & honest conversation about his life, music, and surviving more than 15 years behind bars. He opens up about growing up in Harlem, his first prison sentence at Rikers Island and in New York State prison, and how he initially got into music and rose to fame. Max B then breaks down his second arrest, being sentenced to 75 years in prison, and what it took to survive New Jersey State Prison while continuing to put out music from behind the walls. He also shares how his sentence was eventually reduced, the mindset that kept him going, and what it’s been like finally getting out of prison and moving forward with his life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jeff Pike grew up surrounded by law enforcement — his father was a sheriff and later a Deputy U.S. Marshal — so from the time he was 13, he was visiting jails and crime scenes instead of playgrounds. Following in his father’s footsteps felt inevitable. After becoming a game warden in Virginia, Jeff transitioned into undercover police work, where he took on some of the wildest cases imaginable — from major drug operations to male prostitution stings and violent street investigations. As his career grew, Jeff joined the sheriff’s department, working deep inside the criminal underworld. But over time, he began to see the other side of policing — the corruption, the internal politics, and the moral conflicts that come with trying to do the right thing in a broken system. Eventually, he made the difficult choice to walk away from law enforcement altogether and start over as a private detective.

this guy is really mad about *certain people* and sneakers. then he defends people convicted of child sex crimes. and those aren't even his worst takes.
Hey Brother, I have been introduced to your show and it is the most comforting feeling I've ever had! I served 25 flat at Indiana State Prison, I got incarcerated in 1991 so prison was still run by the convicts. I was one of the last of that era to grow up in it there, it all started at 19 and lasted to my early 40s. I've been out now for 10 years and have done alright, but behind my smile lies a scared convict who feels like he is on another planet. Listening to the show, now I want to open up.
