You know it’s a good episode when you wanna hear more and it only feels like you were listening for 10 minutes.
-
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 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.
-
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...
-
He talks about in this entire experience in his book “Across the Bridge a Rikers Island Story” such a good read!
-
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
-
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
-
This man is extremely articulate and intelligent. I love that New York grit
-
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.
-
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👏
-
This was definitely a 10/10 interview! I’m gonna check out dudes book! Good job Ian!
-
As a state CO, this interview was absolutely amazing.
-
This story has to be made into a series!!
-
New subscriber. Love how you allow him to talk and tell the story with little to no interference. Appreciate that 💯
-
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!
-
I’d watch this as a show in a HEARTBEAT!
-
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
