Locked In with Ian Bick

Ian Bick

Booking Overview

This is a long-form criminal justice and true-crime interview show featuring people with firsthand experience as former inmates, law enforcement officers, justice professionals, investigators, and reentry advocates. PR agencies could credibly pitch formerly incarcerated authors and advocates, criminal justice professionals, addiction and rehabilitation experts with lived experience, and public figures connected to major crime stories; booking difficulty is low because compelling firsthand experience is generally valued over broad celebrity status.
