Listen Later

Niesha Jackson, widely known as the “Bank Robbing Babe,” sits down with VladTV to tell the full story behind her infamous multi-state crime spree that targeted 37 banks across nine states and netted over $1 million. Growing up in Oakland, Niesha explains how she began stealing at just 11 years old before escalating into check fraud, identity scams, and what she describes as the “approval game,” using fake IDs and prepaid cards to withdraw large sums from financial institutions.In this interview, Niesha breaks down how she executed her schemes, the mistakes that led to her arrests, and the betrayals that cost her everything while she was on the run. She recounts serving multiple sentences, including a seven-month bid, a 16-month stint, and ultimately a devastating 187-month federal sentence tied to fraud and failure to appear, resulting in $630,000 in restitution.Niesha also opens up about life behind bars, detailing violent conflicts with inmates and staff, her transfer to Alabama’s largest women’s prison, and the psychological toll of long-term incarceration. Despite the setbacks, she emphasizes her determination to rebuild her life legally, focusing on community reentry, personal accountability, and entrepreneurship.Now home, Niesha discusses her plans to relaunch her online boutique, start a cleaning service, and turn her story into a cautionary example for others tempted by fast money. She reflects on the lessons learned, the gratitude she feels for a second chance, and her commitment to channeling her ambition into positive, lawful success.
