Real stories from the people everyone else judges first. Hosted by Ian Bick — former federal inmate turned speaker and podcaster — this show sits down with former inmates, recovering addicts, bikers, law enforcement, investigators, and people who have lived through the darkest chapters of their lives. Each episode dives deep into crime, prison, addiction, trauma, redemption, mental health, street life, recovery, and second chances — without scripts, filters, or fake narratives. If you’re into true crime, raw prison stories, personal transformation, and real human honesty, you’ll feel at home here. This isn’t entertainment. It’s lived experience.
