@ianbickCT your interviews are getting better and better. Congrats on the success of your channel. Keep up the grind brother.
I appreciate the kind words!
“If you want your balls to look and feel like mine…” 🫣😂
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.
😅 was
You know it’s a good episode when you wanna hear more and it only feels like you were listening for 10 minutes.
💯
@@tae1or I put my story in my music go on my page and listen gang💯
Factsss
I agree completely! it's like the episode wasn't long enough!
💯
I remember hearing this on twitter a few years ago. He tells the story exactly the same without skipping a beat. Such a great story man. Glad to see he is well
Man i was not expecting to watch this whole thing but once I started listening, I couldn't stop.
this is my good friend. really great guy with a big heart that just got wrapped up in some bs. i’m so glad he’s free
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
Couldn’t have said it better myself
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.
@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.
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.
He talks about in this entire experience in his book “Across the Bridge a Rikers Island Story” such a good read!
I put my story in my music go on my page and listen gang💯
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.
Where can I get the book?
@@paulenewilson3064Amazon bruh
As a born and raised New Yorker this hit so close to home from Forest Hills High School to John Jay, Jamaica Ave. I wish you the best Steven on your new journey 🫶🏼 Ian I can’t explain the growth I’ve seen ! Keep em comingggg
I put my story in my music go on my page and listen gang💯
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.
@@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 😅
@@nkosistrainbullies5806 sound like you wasn’t outside. 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.
Brian spilled the rap by ratting on some bikers, he said he did it was better than rikers
This was definitely a 10/10 interview! I’m gonna check out dudes book! Good job Ian!
Thanks so much!!
THANK YOU for letting this man tell his story with minimal interruptions!
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. Congrats on the book, best of luck! Ian, job well done on this interview👏
As a state CO, this interview was absolutely amazing.
I'm a federal co and it was cool I just hate that word guard all the work I put in the fights the craziness I saw for a guy to keep saying guard is so damn annoying
How is it legal for a CI to get an innocent person to start doing illegal activities? That is the opposite taking people off the street...
Thats what im trying to understand. To ME it seems like they set him up on purpose considering how often they kept trying to flip him while he was a CO. To me it seems like entrapment.
If you approach any person under the law multiple times and waving money 💰 around, a lot would take it! Instead of taking true criminals off the streets they tempt and try to flip innocent civilians 🥴🥴🥴 smh
I call it entrapment..I'm just sayin smh
This guy became a CO to slang…. He was a dope boy his whole life
@@4nyproductions 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 an undercover prostitute can’t come up to you if you’re pumping gas then they bust you for solicitation…YOU have to solicit the prostitute…it’s very different scenario.
This man is extremely articulate and intelligent. I love that New York grit
I feel what he saying.i got locked up at 26 and that was the first time since 15 being clear headed no blunts no alcohol no chasing females.i grew up became a man and had plenty of time to reflect on my life learn about my self
New subscriber. Love how you allow him to talk and tell the story with little to no interference. Appreciate that 💯
Yeah I feel like that was intrapment at its finest. He was not dirty but kept being tempted and pressed into it.
But he said yes. I'll do it. That's the difference
@@seanmcardle9910
He is my fav out of everyone you have interviewed. I need his book!!!! 📚
His accent and his smile is everything! ❤
This story has to be made into a series!!
It's on this show called tru crime
This was ridiculously entertaining. So easy to get caught up in the mix. Wow!
You had CO's that were corrupt before, just none who got busted or honest enough to admit it. Dude's awesome best show you have done so far! Great job IAN!
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.
Who do u expect to run a prison? 100 inmates per 1 officer
I’d watch this as a show in a HEARTBEAT!
The show continues to get better and better. Great work Ian!
Thanks so much!!
I LOVE SEEING A YOUNG BLACK LATINO MEN ARTICULATE HIMSELF SO WELL. 🫡🫡🫡
This guy is a great storyteller! I watched 5 clips on TikTok and came here and watched from start to finish! I don’t understand how this is legal to basically harass someone into doing illegal things?
It's not hes suppose to write them up and send em to the hole for asking
@@Clipz425
But you - as a guard - don't want to become a target by the shot caller.
I agree the one thing I can’t get over is this kid was on the straight and narrow and the undercover informant sought him out … it’s not like dude was looking for trouble from what I’m hearing. So fucked how they can just pick and choose whose life they want to completely upend. Obviously he’s not innocent in all this he did the crime but they kinda put the crime in front of his face dressed up as thousands of dollars. Don’t seem right to me
@@JCHUBBS17 If you think about the concept of "for-profit prisons" - - they NEED more inmates to keep their prison profits flowing. So from that perspective it makes perfect sense to trick more folks into crimes, more prisoners you can exploit for cheap/free labor, more budget increases for agencies that handle crimes (corrections & police departments), more opportunities for rapacious criminal lawyers etc etc etc It's an industry loop for profit, yes you destroy people's lives by getting them involved in the crimes - - but in reality who cares about them (nobody's losing sleep over them except their families). Good ole' "American Justice"
It's called entrapment. The DEA provided confiscated drugs, they provided to this man. That is corruption for agents to get collers.
Another BANGER!! Sheesh man. You dont miss. This was a great story and kept you interested the whole time.
Edit: haven’t watched/listened to this yet.
I cant believe this. I grew up with Stevie in Queens. Not gonna say where for privacy but he lived and may still live 3 blocks away from me. Stevie was always a great guy dead respectful we have many many mutual friends. I was really upset when a few of our mutuals told me “yo you heard about Stevie right?”then proceeded to show me the news article. Stevie if you see this is Trav! I’m glad your out brother. If you ever need me you know where to find me!
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
Amazing story. He told it perfectly too, not to flashy or embellished just told the truth of an amazing story.
One of the best interviews I’ve heard they definitely need to make a series off his story alone from trying to make it to get a stable income to slowly transitioning to corrupt and trying yo make it all right again
That’s my guy Dee. He taught me the job salute brother. Much more blessings.
Big !! Big !! Big share !! I loved this !! It's all about different perspectives !! I am loving watching your growth, Ian. Well done, brother !! 👏🏽 Consistent high-quality episodes. I've loved the show from day one !! 💯❤️
When you go back and think about they literally make people criminals they put that inmate in there to prey on vulnerable underpaid cos it’s so sad.
I agree!!!
Crazy!!
Exactly!
Feds and informants don't care about anybody except what they're going to gain and benefit from throwing the next man under the bus and you right they go for easy targets.
Bro, he chose to say yes to an inmate. Ya can tell ya don't take responsibility for ya own actions 😂
By far the best interview on your channel… this needs a TV series 🤯🔥
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.
🫡🫡🙏🙏
Pretty good pod .. first pod I watched completely..keep reading your dms and finding these interviews that no one else has 👍
Haven’t watch a full interview in awhile this is great work!!
Best one yet. Fn wild story. Hope this guy is doing well now seems like a good dude. Also I'm glad u just let him talk as he's a great story teller
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW... FROM THE GREAT QUESTIONS U ASKED TO HIS STORY THIS WAS AMAZING IAN
VERY INFORMATIVE INTERVIEW AND THIS DESERVES A MILLION VIEWS
One of my favorite episodes so far!! Ian does a great job of listening to his guests and letting them tell you the story instead of interrupting every few seconds! Well done, gentleman 🎉
Great interview, have watched most of them and you’re always coming out with bangers 👌🏻
Thanks so much!!
This type of thing has been done to inner cities and ghetto neighborhoods for DECADES! this is entrapment at its finest and we citizens should take this law head on and try getting it abolished. Preying on low income people and families is sickening! 😢
True Story. It's messed up.
Yeah, man, it really is pretty fucked the way they do that shit. Dude turned them down ten times and they just kept on pushing until he broke
Wen a inmate ask you anything dealing with contraband he's a rat
Great episode!! This guy is very easy to listen to, very articulate.
Hands down one of the best stories ive heard in a while, very detailed
I’m from NY and never heard this Story ! This was definitely a great interview 💯
SUPER dope interview. Good job on this one, Ian. This story relates to a lot of us in the "inner city". I have to get this book now.
When your faced with the dilemma of " can you do this small thing for $5k-$10k? No one gets hurt, it's just good money for 5 minutes of your time." At this instance you gotta ask yourself and be honest with yourself
" is the rest of your life worth $10k? Like is it literally worth just $10k" $10k for your whole life, ya it may only be 5 years in prison but your whole life is gonna change. Class A felonies mean your not gonna get a good job EVER, PLUS 5 YEARS OF POROLE AND SO ON AND SO ON.
That never crosses the mind of anyone who had been in poverty their whole life when someone asks hey man I got 10k for 10 mins of your time no one will get hurt no one will ever know shot most people would probably think about it but eventually 10k is 10k especially if you have never even seen 10k at once before it sucks but it’s true
Who says you're never going to get a good job if you have a felony? That's just outdated thinking
@WestCoastTruckingCEO I shouldn't say not a good job ever. You can do a lot of blue collar jobs that pay good. Like construction and all the specialties that fall under that like plumbing, roofing ,gas piping, hvac, etc. If your able to get a license you can get into trucking. But getting a laid back office job that pays great is gonna be a lot harder to obtain
He could still work for NYC Sanitation
I appreciated watching this. The host was very professional and asked the questions that mattered. The guest spoke very well and seems super transparent. I wish everyone the best.
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.
I loved how Ian let him talk and explain his story at his pace and asked the questions at the right time without rushing him or taking over the conversation. ❤ great job on this - I’ve sent this video to all my fam and friends. 😊
I worked in Corrections and after about a year I was like this shit ain’t for me😂 I worked were the bad of the bad kids went. You gotta be a certain type of person to do that and I won’t it😫🤣
Wow, Feels like the podcast was made for just this one interview.
Great find
Ian first episode I listened all the way through. Love how you have evolved as an interviewer. Keep working hard. Love it.👍
Same age never took the exams my pops encouraged me to take besides mta salute to this bro regardless of any trials and tribulations ✊🏿
All Co's on Rickers should watch this
I had him in Westchester county jail, 4SW they forced him into PC and he was my trustee on 3West
I made a huge mistake and I'm currently paying for it but this is just the message I needed to hear. Thanks for sharing ❤
God bless you and Jesus loves you!❤️
This guy is so good at interviewing people . he always has different questions for different guests. He knows exactly when to jump in without interrupting the flow of the conversation. He doesn't do extra sound effects like " another certain channel." The ahem." Oh, right?" got it," hmmm, " wow " while the guests were talking so annoying. Great episode
Absolutely
This is my first time hearing this story! Wow! I enjoyed how well this story was told. Being a product of your environment can have its downfall. Everyday as humans we are faced with obstacles that can change our life for the better or for worse. Steven I am proud of you for changing and re writing your narrative.
This was the best episode! He is a great story teller... def should make this a movie.
Awesome show. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
It hits different when you knew this person in real life and come from the same hood. Glad you made it out Steven. Hope all youll are good on your side of town and god bless you'll. *Kashif
Best episode hands down! Really enjoy the podcast man
I vote Ian bick for greatest breakout podcast of the decade bro you have lightning in a bottle with this podcast I’ve been watching you all year and consider myself a podcast snob but you my guy are top tier on the podcast ladder I love your work keep it up
This means the world to me- thanks so much man
I used to see this dude when I would wait for my route bus. Wow...crazy story
Your ownership of your mistakes, unwillingness to give up, and success after release are the real proof that your mother did an outstanding job raising you. 100%
Your comment is a WHOLE fact!
This was a great episode!!!!! Loved every minute!!!!!
The best interview I’ve heard so far
What a great interview. I am not rrly into pods but this was such a great one. His Story kept me engaged I can just imagine a series. I hope his mother accepted the fact that how she raised him had nothing to do with his decision making. We grow up and become adults, old enough to know right from wrong. I hope she is proud of all the good you have done after coming out. Saludos desde el bronx
Yeah 2024 Ian Bick on All HeadLines Keep Grinding Bro ‼💯
Definitely my favorite interview by Ian!
Amazing
I can’t wait to see this on hbo. Steven’s vision has so much potential. Richard price would be perfect for this project. I can’t wait. I’m rooting for you Steven!!!!
Best interview I've seen with 1099. Top story tellers to keep attention. I need this book.
Excellent . This guy is well spoken and has good delivery
One of the best episodes yet
The way he sounds he's really from NYC and its a believable story. Glad he shared the story.
The plot twist! Great interview. Excited to check out his book
I heard this gentleman story before but still listened to this whole video
Fire interview, bro seems chill asf. This story makes me think of mayor of Kingstown.
Great Segment.👍👍👍My Man is a Trooper!!! Keep you head up Papa!!!
Great interview. Hope many can learn from others mistakes. Great watch!
I think Steven should start a youtube channel, I would follow so fast! And I think it could keep people who are interested in all his ongoing updated

Dope interview, subbed
Damn...what a story..I'm glad you made it through it all bro
Corrupt and Rikers Guard is redundant. That place should not be open. It's the worst place I've ever been to.
You have gained a subscriber sir!!this was a good interview made me really rethink my “what if” mindset slow motion is better than no motion
Fair play Ian bro,I'm from across the pond n had a colorful life myself,n can sniff someone chatting shit a mile away,this lad was not only genuine I enjoyed listening to him..n that's coming from a man who's been there done that n so on you know the score,nice one for this episode bro,I really hope the guy learns from it n makes a good life n in the process learn others a quick pound or dollar is not always the best way !!!
Plz interview him again Ian and let’s get some more stories plzzzz sirrr ty! Awesome video thank god for family and freedom! Living right and doing right and living for family is what life is truly all about. These are all great reminders of why we will never make a wrong choice lawfully again. Thank you Ian God bless!!!
Agreed definitely pt 2
Please do the double episode !! Would love to hear it !!
The guy is going places you can see his vision, his composure and confidence that he is going to go very far might take some time but it will happen!
I live an hour from dannemora! This is the greatest episode I’ve watched 🖤
