Locked In with Ian Bick

Bill Bennett, also known as "Billy the Biker," joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his unbelievable story of living over 50 years in the outlaw biker world. After being drafted during the Vietnam era, Bill's life took a wild turn, leading him down a path of crime, addiction, and eventually prison. In this episode, he opens up about what it was really like being a 1% biker, the violence and chaos he experienced, and how he survived decades of living on the edge. From battling addiction and doing time behind bars to cheating death multiple times—including life-threatening medical emergencies—Bill breaks down the moments that should have ended his life but didn't. Now a survivor and founder of a nonprofit helping veterans, he reflects on the lessons learned and how he turned everything around.

Don Halloran, President of Folger Adams, joins Locked In with Ian Bick to break down the systems that keep prisons running from the inside out. In this episode, we dive into everything from repairing cells at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary and why it's unlikely to ever reopen due to extreme costs and infrastructure challenges, to the ongoing shutdown of Rikers Island and what's replacing it. Don explains how modern prison cells are built, including solitary confinement units, high-security locking systems, and the technology that controls every door in a facility. We also get into the different types of prison locks, how lockdowns actually work, and what it takes to maintain security inside some of the most dangerous environments in the country.
