Hey Ian, thanks for having me on to share my experience, strength, and hope with those who are still sick and suffering, you’re an amazing dude and a great interviewer!
Thank you so much. You had some powerful ways of putting what addiction means to you. Focus on the moments of clarity or you’ll die out there. Wow that hit me. I am your garden variety drug addict. That one was good. Thank you for sharing your testimony. For being your first time. You and Ian just flowed through it. I’m proud of you, your mom and your wife. Good luck
It takes a lot of guts to come on a platform and tell about being attacked like that. I’m tired of everyone saying they ran sh!t or had the keys and all this. It’s bulls!t. Thanks for telling your story
For real bro I asked 1 guy what yard he said he ran and of corse he never answered me I don’t believe most of these people either the only thing he ran was his snacks every state pay
I absolutely agree with you because this is the other real side of prison. So all these other people influencers whatever you want to call them the first people to say oh I'm not glorifying anything or my time but I had the keys I was in charge of the car, I was the boss it's simply getting old and irritating play. The same way it gets old and irritating when you're inside and having to really hear those bloated egos every single day. I feel like that my punishment was to be locked up for the crime I committed I was fully guilty for but to have to be around all these idiots with these god-like complexes that's the real punishment
I find it quite disgusting and ironic that inmates will punish sex offenders while also turning around and being sex offenders themselves while in prison. This man is so strong for still being able to laugh and smile after his experiences and for sharing his story to help others. Being violated sexually breaks a person’s soul like nothing else could. My love goes out to you Dylan, I wish you comfort and healing♥️
Its absolutely abhorrent that anyone in that pod would be complacent regardless of circumstance unless its a retribution for sexual crimes committed by the victim in that situation, in that case I don't care but to allow a nonviolent criminal to be subjected to that kind of physical and psychological torture is unbelievable
Only whites and Latinos have that no sex offender policy. Blacks and others are notorious booty bandits, look up the DC Blacks if you don’t believe me.
Clearly, he was struggling to expose what happened to him in that shower of horror. It showed a tremendous amount of courage and humility to put that out there. Amazing survivor.
I give this guy credit for exposing the trama he went through. 99% of the victims that have had the same things happen will never speak a word of it. Fucking crazy painful experience he had. Going through all that makes him enjoy the good times he’s experiencing now 1 million times more then any of us.
Dylan is the type of guys that many inmates would fight over. He is small, pale, and he looks pretty. He is the next best thing to having a girl in prison. I'm sure a lot of inmates fought to own him. Once you owned him, he is your property.
I was abused by a neighbour for 6 years. Anyone who openly talks about their experiences with SA automatically earns all my respect and admiration. Just always remember, It wasn't your fault and we're gonna be ok. It was a lot worse going through it than it is now, the memories can't hurt you eventhough they're gonna try to. You're not alone, and every single one of us are rooting for you
I'm sorry you had to go through that any type of abuse sucks but mental abuse and sexual abuse is the worst by far I would rather be physically beating any day because those scars will heal I can't save somebody abused me like that I probably wouldn't be a free man 😢😢😢
Real shit, it took insane courage and balls the size of Michigan to share what he shared about what was done to him. My heart broke hearing that, but his courage to move forward and survive is admirable to say the least. Dylan, if you ever read this, my heart and respect goes out to you and I hope the rest of your life is filled with peace 🫶
Smart Kid here. Listen closely kids to what can happen if you end up in prison. This will haunt him the rest of his life. Tough to listen to, but it needed to be told. Thanks man
Amazing podcast. Brought me to tears. Both of my parents battled with addiction my whole life and sadly both passed away due to overdosing. I have a lot I can relate to, thank you Dylan for sharing your story. Such a strong message at the end about embracing the pain and rising above it like a phoenix. Thanks again.
I used to take valuable shit straight to my dealer as well, including an engagement ring. I am so grateful to be way past that insane, dark life. I'm coming up on, God willing, 7yrs clean & LIVING PROOF THAT WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM THE HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE! I can severely feel & can relate to his pain, for I've survived prison & a multiple traumatizing past as well. Not in prison, but I can definitely relate to multiple sexual assaults & rapes, stemming from childhood. I pray you can heel & find peace. The way you shared with us shows major growth, humility, & positive change when working on/through trauma. As traumatized adults we have to survive & thrive. And having the obsession removed, for me after 20yrs of hardcore addiction, is the greatest gift God has ever given me, because for that, I have a life, love, family, & some ✌️ ❤🤗🙏
Damn that's rough man he's strong for telling his story. I don't know how I would react to something like that but it would definitely make me an evil and hateful person.
Raping a person, regardless if it’s a child or adult male or adult female, it is one of the worst things to put someone through. I’m praying for you lil man, and I hope you’re safe now and forever. I hope you never take your own life sir. You can make it brother.
Aye Brother, I love your support! I am grateful for what happened to me, as I have a joy and appreciation for life in away I have never had before! I am lucky to have survived that life
@@thePreparedFatherholy crap didn't realize you were the one in the video bro im so sorry that happened to you it was obviously hard to talk about but no matter what it could've happen to anybody and you are a soldier for not letting that keep you down you're a survivor bro keep your head up
Man it took Dylan big balls to get rigorously honest like that . God bless the dude . Drug use never ends well. I saw another you tube story where a white kid was raped by 5 bug black guys & they all had aids & infected him …., man that must of been hard for that kid to talk about on camera
Dylan thank you for sharing your story brother it takes balls to tell the world what happened with you and coming from a recovering addict clean 5 years it's always crazy to hear people's stories !! And great job ian awesome momentum you got going bro!!
Former PO here. Probation is fking hard. Most people who don't commit crimes would have a hard time getting thru it. It's not even the piss tests, etc. It's the constant meetings, not having transportation, fines, unable to work, etc etc. It's literally a speedbump before jail. Great interview, Ian. Wish you both luck!
Personal Officers! I always tell people imagine the cops . But you have a personal cop, and his job is to FIND a crime you commit. “Show me a man, I’ll show you a crime “ Lavrentiy Beria
It's a damn trap and money racket. I was on it 6 months and it was horrific. Give me unsupervised probation or put me in jail cause I'm gonna be there anyways. I've seen these snitches in the Young Thug case take 15 FREAKING YEARS OF PROBATION. They're using them for testimony knowing damn well they'll get them breaking probation.
I been on papers my whole 20's I'm 26.... All for a gram of coke I got busted at 19... I got a book throw at me and still dealing with it to this day probation is nonsense!!
Hey buddy love your content!! You should interview someone who has been locked up abroad in a foreign country!! So we can see how the correction systems are in like asia or something.!!
Weed is only a gateway drug in that you are in contact with drug dealers if it isn’t legal where you are. It only takes one question “are you interested in anything else?” to go down that path.
Much respect to Dylan for coming on the podcast and sharing his dramatic story. This is the type of story I pray reaches someone and helps them quit their addiction.
Truck driver. Listened to this on the road. Fascinating story. Takes a lot of balls to talk about the SA in prison. Most guys would bury that because they think other men would judge them but I don't. Much respect and wish u nothing but health and happiness moving forward ✊️✊️
Rape? No coming back from that. You may have sat in the car with the Woods, but you were still just hitchhiking. I’m sorry that happened to you. A lot of people say they would die fighting before they would get raped, but people forget that things can change in an instant in prison. One minute you are showering, the next you are unconscious on the floor in a pool of your own blood.
Dylan, you’re so fuckin brave bro! Thanks for sharing your story and being vulnerable so we can learn. You’ll make a difference in so many lives. Much love, definitely one of the best interviews Ian! Was so real too for me to hear as someone from Michigan, shit hit home hard
Gay thugs booty bandits... cowards. This is a crazy story... man been theu real trauma and hell. Jesus heals all... accept jesus and your life will change.
Addiction is a MEDICAL issue, not a criminal issue. All of the awful trauma this man has endured throughout his life is due to the inhumane way that addiction is handled in America. It’s a terrible shame & we have to do better. Things are starting to slowly improve as the culture is becoming more aware about mental health. Addiction & alcoholism has been around for thousands of years, but hopefully our grandchildren’s generation won’t have to go through what this dude did. This channel is a new favorite of mine. ☮️ 🙏🏼 🫡
😡 Dylan, you were victimised, man. It wasn't your fault. I wish I could tell you gow to get back at these guys who wronged you. But I'll say this: what comes around, goes around. And that's the truth.
@@thePreparedFather Any time, Dylan. All we want for you is to live and celebrate the rest of your life with people that love and care about you. Focus on your happiness and health. The cure for Hep' C is here, buddy.
Omgosh! Dylan is a survivor! He should be proud of himself for making it through. Keep your head up bud! Thanks for being so vulnerable to sharing your story !!
@@thePreparedFather I’m going through a struggle of my own right now with the legal system and I’m hoping the end result will be well. I have a 3 year old boy and I know all im doing is hurting him by not being able to see him as much because of the situation im in..I feel for you and will always have love bro.
@@Gcm42011 man, I sure do hope that your legal troubles get fixed, the legal system is one annoying bitch my friend, you are a gentleman and a scholar, I know you have an incredible future ahead of you regardless of this outcome from court! Keep on keeping on
My ex's sister was a sex worker and her husband was ONLY okay with it if he got drugs out of it. I felt bad for her, because he wouldn't let her work to get money to pay for their apartment or for food, utilities, etc. He said that was HIS job, but he got mad at his boss one day and quit his job. For the longest time, he was just sitting at home and she couldn't work to get money for their housing/food and they ended up losing everything and she got locked up shortly after.
I used to raid gardens for food as a child. Mom and Dad never ran out of booze but food was s bit scarce. I thought I was slick and was amazed how much food I found. Those folks knew a kid was eating out of their garden. God bless them.
Dylan I really hope you can keep yourself on the right path man. That should have never been allowed to happen to you. I watched some horrible shit happen at the institution I went home from. They also called that institution gladiator school. I had a week left on my sentence and I was in a cell by myself because my celly got a hardship transfer to a prison closer to his family and then out of nowhere they took me out of my cell and housed me with a guy who had 60 years left on a double homicide beef. The way they do things is fucked. I was never victimized and I was never made to put in work but I did have to fight to defend myself a few times and the fact that you get punished for not allowing violence to happen to you is beyond disgusting.
I've only just found your channel, it's brilliant, very well made. This interview broke my heart though. As a survivor of repeated childhood sexual abuse and an addict myself I'm praying for you Dylan that you prosper, heal, grow and flourish. You are so strong.
I give this man credit for having the courage to tell his story. I hope he understands that what happened wasn't his fault, but falls squarely on the shoulders of the two animals that brutalized him. And like others have said, prison predators are sex offenders, and should be treated as such by the general population.
Dylan’s able to articulate and utilize his vocabulary in a way that really helps people to see from his shoes and more deeply understand his life. Also his transparency when it comes to his experiences shows that he was able to mentally work through it and because of that he’s gonna go on to help a lot of people
Heart breaking story, but I have to be critical of one thing.. The title of this video. "Forced to fight a chomo" out of a 1 hour 15 minute video, that part he talked about was like 30 seconds. So you took the spotlight from him and his abuse, and his situation, and focused on a 30 second piece. Your doing a disservice to the guy interviewed. Thats my personal view. This video should be about him, and his trauma, and a title that is worthy of his trauma.
When bro started getting choked up (totally understandable BTW) I knew exactly where he was going and the host should've as well, having been to prison after all. Harrowing story I'm glad bro is good now.
Homeboy had a tough life but beat addiction and engrossed himself in his recovery and the process of helping others. I respect that and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
Dude Dylan! This kid was my bunkie in county! Plus his mom was my therapist at rehab! Same mf story as me! I had baseball scholarship too and tore my rotar cuff! So happy to see you doing good! @ianbick
Fuck dude. And with 6 months left. I know myself well, and I would've caught a couple murder charges. The fact that this dude is free should be a story of mental strength
An old family friend of mine had a sister and she was shooting up at a very young age and she had cotton fibers from the cigarette filter she would use to inject her heroin and the fibers got into her heart well she had surgery she was supposed to be fine and then she die from sepsis in the hospital
I hope this man realizes they his moment of clarity was Jesus Christ speaking to him. And the reason he is still alive is all because the grace of God…
Idk about JESUS, but I am aware that whatever energy source manipulates all of reality, chose to pull me from that abyss, and today, I can bring others into the light. Not to say Jesus and Christianity are underrated!
Wow. This one was an emotional rollercoaster for me. So glad to see he is sober, that his mom and wife are too. I truly hope their daughter gets to live a life free of everything her parents and grandparents went through.
We are indeed. Now everyone might not agree with this, but statistics are statistics. Search here on youtube "Prisoners In Finland Live In Open Prisons Where They Learn Tech Skills" Finland used to have a prison system just like ours. And 70 years ago they started their reform.. They had the highest incarcerations, and now they have the lowest in all of Europe. Once again people get angry and all emotional, but people also forget, many people in prison have a day when they get out. Do you want a person living beside you who cant get a job, cant get food, are shunned by all society.. cant do anything to survive, or do you want a person who is educated, working , paying taxes, starting a family. This can only be done by serious prison reform. But ya watch the video. It is an eye opener.
@@thePreparedFather damn bro, I wish I had an outlook on life as great as yours. You've been to hell and back and came out a better man. Thank you again for sharing this brother.
Ian, I’ve been binge watching your channel after seeing a clip of your interview on TikTok. I’ve had such an obsession with the concept of prison since I was a child and I always wanted to hear from THIS perspective!! You do awesome work, your kindness shows by how you approach topics!!
Thank you for sharing your story, Dylan. I am watching my Niece take herself down, and our family is just helpless, waiting for what happens next. This is so helpful to try and figure out where her head might be as she goes through this current situation. As a fully sober person, I just can't wrap my head around what she must be going through. Thank you again, this was so descriptive. You are an amazing person to have overcome all of this.
Man this one hit home. I grew up in Redford as well. And I also went to 12 step meetings as a child. Ian is 100% right on that part, shits weird. The intentions behind it were positive and pure but still. It definitely puts certain things on a tee for you for when you become an adult. There's a lot of glorified drug stories in those meetings that a child probably shouldn't ever hear.
Another good episode...hearing these story's has been helping me understand myself and my addiction...I owe alot to Ian and JD...they both are amazing people doin great things for the community...much love to everyone who needs it
Having to experience all that is horrible however being able to dredge those memories up whilst visibly choking up gives me a huge amount of respect for this guy
Iv e been hooked on lockdown 23&1 for a little over 3 years . Im glad i found your channel man. Good content. Love watching your stuff and catchin up on the old stuff as we speak
Dude, spiritual fitness fukin matters. Self awareness is a big deal too. Youngsters NEED to be taught that if they’re not warriors DO NOT enter the slave trade that is drug addiction! Dylan should have been taught about this shit from a very early age. If they can push sex ed onto elementary school kids, then why not anti drug training? Im not talking about the regular DARE stuff. Go all the way.
@@notrealy180217 Very true. Kids that are raised but wayward losers are basically chickens. They can be snatched up and eaten by anyone who want to reach out and grab their flightless asses. They’re disposable
Taught by who? Both parents were addicts. When you grow up around something it becomes normalized to you. Drugs, alcohol, sex... whatever. Just like growing up with parents who have college degrees or are in the clergy or anything else. You're a product of your environment.
omg TONY!!! You are amazing, I so deeply wanted to tell him about the time in the park I got prayed over, but man, I am sure glad that i got to share this story!
I respect bros honesty and being open but if I got raped in jail I'm getting the biggest piece of metal plastic I can find and I'm honestly Michael Myersing somebody
There are soooooooo many lessons to be drawn from this. On a psychological, political, social, racial, theological level. In some ways he serves as kind of metaphor for what is happening to lower class white people in the culture at this moment in time.
It takes so much strength to speak of your trauma. Being raped in jail is just fucking awful. I hope whoever did that to him was punished to the full extent of the law. I think that addiction is a mental illness and the fact that people get put in jail for it is insane. The fact that you were both strong enough to eventually get out is so powerful. I hope you both stay clean for your child. I feel awful for the ride your wife also went through. Prostituting herself, she's lucky that she's not dead. She's probably been through so much shit to end up where she was when you met her.
Ian Bick when he says he got raped was that a nervous smile. I'm just trying to understand if I don't know something I ask as to not make any assumptions. to me you looked like you were grinning or like if you were holding in a laugh. I don't know you personally which why I'm asking you what was that
IAN! THERE A MILLIONS OF ADDICT PARENTS IN THE WORLD. Bringing the children to 12 step meetings IS NORMAL for those who love one day at a time. It gives some hope to keep them coming back. You acted very SNOOTY😳
FYI, I'm from Detroit since 1977, let me be the first person to tell yall, Detroit doesn't have any trailer parks, he's not from Detroit, he's trying to pull an Eminem on us 😮
They put them together because prisons are overcrowded and extremely understaffed. They are forced to put people together that they normally wouldn't. Unfortunately, this dude wasn't just a drug addict. He was also there as a home invader. BTW, kids at an NA meeting aren't all that uncommon.
Watching these makes me feel grateful for my parents. I would have gone down an entirely different path if I had to experience what this guy went through as a kid.
I love how these guys Interview criminals, guys that have robbed sold drugs pretty much Everything including murder, and they want. Us to subscribe and give them money. Not to mention RU-vid pays them. RU-vid has turned into nothing but a complete joke. If they're not showing you advertisements They're glorifying criminals
Dylan, God bless. There was nothing you could have done. I'm 6 2' 190lbs and I doubt I could have prevented being raped against two men and being vulnerable naked in the shower. If you hit one of them first it would have only made it worse. It wasn't your fault. Peace
I went to Fulton county jail in Atlanta, a pretty rough jail. I was wearing a pair of purple and green boxers and a Tshirt and that was it. They wouldn't let me put shoes on or anything. When I got released at midnight I had to walk barefoot for two miles in the hood in the middle of the night.
