Quinonez and Gillespie also discuss why the trades are well-suited for second-chance opportunities, how the program could help address workforce shortages, and what success might look like as the initiative grows.

If you love haunted history, real investigations, and locations with a dark past, this is an episode you won't want to miss.   The **Old Licking County Jail** in Newark, Ohio, has become one of the Midwest's most talked-about haunted locations. Built in the late 1800s, the jail housed inmates for well over a century and witnessed countless stories of violence, tragedy, despair, and death. Like many historic jails, its walls have absorbed generations of human emotion, leaving many to wonder whether some of those spirits never truly left.   During our conversation, Heath takes us through the fascinating history of the jail, explaining how it operated, what daily life was like for inmates, and why the building has earned a reputation for paranormal activity. He shares stories of former prisoners, reports of executions, and the difficult conditions that existed within the aging structure.   Of course, history is only part of the story.   Heath discusses some of the most compelling paranormal experiences reported by investigators and visitors alike. Shadow figures moving through empty cell blocks, unexplained voices echoing through deserted hallways, footsteps with no visible source, mysterious cold spots, and intelligent responses captured during investigations are just a few of the phenomena that have made the Old Licking County Jail a destination for paranormal enthusiasts from across the country.   We also dive into Heath's experiences as a member of **Trapped Inside Paranormal**, discussing how the team approaches investigations with both an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism. Rather than jumping to conclusions, the team focuses on documenting evidence, ruling out natural explanations, and allowing the history of each location to guide the investigation.   One of the highlights of the interview is hearing Heath describe some of the most memorable moments he's personally experienced inside the jail. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, the stories are fascinating and offer a glimpse into what makes this location so unique.   As always, we also spend time discussing the importance of preserving historic buildings. Locations like the Old Licking County Jail are more than just haunted attractions—they're important pieces of American history that tell the stories of the people who lived, worked, and, in many cases, died within their walls.   We'd like to thank the organizers of **FranknFest** for putting together another fantastic event and for giving us the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people from the paranormal community. Events like these allow us to connect with investigators, authors, researchers, and listeners who all share a passion for exploring the unknown.   If you've ever investigated the Old Licking County Jail—or plan to in the future—we'd love to hear about your experiences. Have you seen a shadow figure? Captured an EVP? Felt something you couldn't explain? Share your stories with us!   Be sure to subscribe to the **222 Paranormal Podcast** so you never miss an episode.

The Marshall Project's Investigation into Cuyahoga Jail Cameras Security cameras are vital in a jail, especially when something tragic happens, but for years, Cuyahoga County had a broken surveillance system due to neglecting to replace old jail cameras. County emails show they knew about the issue for four years, according to new reporting from The Marshall Project Cleveland. This means some families were left without answers about what happened to their loved ones who died while in custody. Jail officials say the outdated devices have all been replaced as of this April. We'll hear more reporting on this investigation from The Marshall Project Cleveland Staff Writer Doug Livingston, on Tuesday's "Sound of Ideas." Tick Bites Then we turn our attention outside and discuss the rising rates of tick bites. There were 2,800 reported cases of Lyme disease in Ohio last year, a disease which is largely connected to blacklegged ticks. Two researchers will join us to explain why we're seeing so many more tick bites in recent years, and what to do if you or your pet it bitten by one.

Just in time for the summer months, we hear some perspective on how humans have embraced or neglected shade, tree canopies, architectural cooling designs and consideration of the climate. Bloch writes about the dangers of heat and sun exposure, and how it kills thousands of Americans each year, but doesn't get the media attention of something like or hurricane or tornado. Guests: - Sam Bloch, Author, "Shade: The Promise of a Forgotten Natural Resource"

Major changes could be coming to Northwest Montana — from fishing regulations and downtown Kalispell cruising to jail oversight battles and a troubling Libby drug court case. In this episode of News Now from the Daily Inter Lake, reporter Taylor Inman breaks down four of the week's biggest headlines impacting the Flathead Valley and beyond.Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is proposing sweeping fishing regulation changes aimed at protecting endangered bull trout and native trout populations. The proposals could eliminate possession limits for certain non-native species in western Montana waters, including Flathead Lake, while expanding restrictions on bait and tackle use across several rivers and streams.Then, the growing debate over Friday night cruising in downtown Kalispell continues as city leaders, business owners and car enthusiasts search for ways to preserve the classic Americana tradition while cracking down on reckless driving, burnouts and speeding along Main Street.Also in this episode, Lake County commissioners are moving toward shifting jail administration away from the Sheriff's Office, citing lawsuits, liability concerns and accountability issues. The controversial proposal has sparked questions about detention officer retirement benefits and the future of county jail operations.And finally, a Libby man previously convicted on fentanyl and methamphetamine possession is facing renewed legal trouble after authorities say he failed treatment court, violated probation conditions and continued struggling with addiction.Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

Joseph Murphy grew up in a good family in Wisconsin, but at just 17 years old he made a decision that changed everything — committing an armed gas station robbery that sent him into the criminal justice system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Joseph opens up about living with mental health disabilities while navigating county jail, prison, and years on probation, where violations kept pulling him back in. Despite receiving a rare pardon from the governor, he later found himself facing new charges for check fraud and business fraud, leading to more time in both Iowa and Wisconsin jails and prisons. Joseph shares what it was like being stuck in the system for decades, the challenges of surviving incarceration with a disability, and how difficult it is to truly break free once you're in. After finally getting out, he landed a job with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, only to be fired for discrimination related to his disability — a case he fought and ultimately settled. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #JailLife #Probation #MentalHealth #ExInmate #CriminalJustice #realstories _____________________________________________ Connect with Joseph Murphy: Email: JoeJustice2026@gmail.com _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Robbery to Prison — His Story Begins 01:10 Growing Up & Family Background 02:00 Mental Health Struggles Early On 02:30 The Gas Station Robbery 03:43 Arrest, Charges & Juvenile Sentencing 05:55 Fighting for a Pardon & Lessons Learned 07:17 Second Chance… Then Another Arrest 09:45 Legal System Challenges & Court Battles 13:10 Probation vs Prison — What's Worse? 15:32 Mental Illness Inside the System 17:19 Life in Prison — Reality & Conditions 20:00 Loss, Survival & Breaking Points 23:02 The Truth About Probation & Parole 25:00 Violations That Send People Back 29:29 Life After Probation — Marriage & Growth 33:31 Building a Business After Prison 36:45 New Charges & Legal Consequences 43:10 County Jail vs Prison — Key Differences 46:40 Playing the Legal System Like a Game 48:01 Release, Relocation & Starting Over 51:21 Becoming an Advocate in Mississippi 53:38 Helping Others After Prison 56:01 Learning From Setbacks & Moving Forward 01:00:20 Criminal Justice Reform Efforts 01:07:20 Working Inside the Corrections System 01:12:30 Workplace Discrimination & Legal Fight 01:18:35 ADA Rights & Systemic Issues 01:23:00 Finally Off Probation — Freedom 01:24:42 Calling for Criminal Justice Reform 01:27:19 Final Thoughts & Closing Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we're sharing an interview with Julie and Jeremy, two anarchists and participants in the Asheville Community Bail Fund. We speak about the US system of pre-trial incarceration aka bail and bond, the work of the bail fund locally, the overcrowding of the Buncombe County Jail here in Asheville, the ICE holds happening in the local jail, and how local policy choices regarding criminalization are being compounded by recent and new North Carolina legislation. Even if you aren't in Asheville or North Carolina, it's likely that much of this conversation will be pertinent to goings-ons in your neck of the woods (though hopefully not).

Shawn Johnson shares his story of growing up in poverty in New Jersey, getting pulled into street life, and eventually joining the Bloods.

Shawn also opens up about the long road to freedom, the legal fight for clemency, and what it meant to finally walk out of prison after 19 years, when he was granted clemency by the governor in 2025. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #NewJerseyPrison #SurvivingPrison #LifeBehindBars #RealStories #CrimeDocumentary #youtubepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ Connect with Shawn Johnson: YouTube: Shawn Robert Johnson TikTok & Instagram: shawjohn1222 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Shawn's Case Overview & What Led to 19 Years in Prison 02:22 Growing Up in New Jersey: Childhood & Early Influences 09:05 Juvenile Charges, Family Struggles & Early Warning Signs 18:00 From Trouble to the Streets: Choices That Changed Everything 24:45 The Incident, Arrest & Facing Serious Charges 36:13 Trial, Sentencing & Life in County Jail 43:41 Arriving in Prison: Survival, Routine & Reality Shock 48:01 Daily Life in Prison: Politics, Social Dynamics & Rules 55:04 Avoiding Trouble, Growing Up & Mental Survival 01:00:01 Appeals, Legal Setbacks & Holding Onto Hope 01:08:05 Rehabilitation, Programs & Preparing for Release 01:15:15 COVID in Prison & a Major Legal Turning Point 01:20:32 Clemency Explained: Application, Review & Approval 01:25:11 Coming Home After 19 Years in Prison 01:28:18 Life Lessons, Advice & Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Rising like a medieval fortress in the heart of Tennessee, the Historic Scott County Jail has seen more than a century of human desperation, discipline, and darkness. Built in 1904 to resemble a stone stronghold, this intimidating structure once held some of the state's most notorious inmates—men whose stories didn't end when the cell doors finally closed. Today, the jail stands as both a museum and a living archive of the paranormal, preserved and explored by the passion and persistence of Miranda Young and Kristy Sumner. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, Miranda Young shares what really stirs behind the thick stone walls after hours. Reports of lingering guards who continue their rounds, inmates who never truly left their cells, and unexplained footsteps echoing through the corridors raise a single question: Does this jail ever sleep? With each investigation, the past seems more present than ever—sometimes seen, sometimes heard, and often felt. Join us as we revisit one of Tennessee's most fascinatingly haunted locations and uncover the stories that refuse to be locked away.

Most museums tell their stories through artifacts and old photographs. The Kewaunee County Jail Museum tells its story a little differently. Yes, it's a museum, but visitors also talk about staircases where shadows move without anyone on them, and quiet hallways where the temperature suddenly shifts. Paranormal teams have captured voices answering questions in empty rooms, and more than once, a childlike voice has slipped through on recordings, even when no children were in the building. And then there's the man locals still whisper about: a desperate inmate named Joe Bushy, whose tragic end inside the original jail—and the strange discovery tied to his grave years later—has many wondering if he ever really left the property at all. On this episode of the Grave Talks, curator Brian Huben talks about the history, the hauntings, and the experiences that have turned the Kewaunee County Jail Museum into an unexpected paranormal destination on the shores of Lake Michigan. #KewauneeCountyJail #HauntedWisconsin #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedHistory #HauntedJail #ParanormalInvestigations  #EVP #GhostHunt #RealHauntings #UnexplainedPhenomena Love real ghost stories?

Dave Franke shares the journey that most people could never imagine living through. Growing up in California, Dave became involved in the skinhead gang lifestyle at a young age, pulled in by identity, belonging, and survival. That path led him into some of the hardest jails and prisons in California, where violence, politics, and racial tension were a part of everyday life. Over time, Dave began questioning everything—his beliefs, his identity, and the world he thought he understood. He eventually renounced the skinhead lifestyle, determined to break the cycle and find a new purpose. After rebuilding his life and establishing himself in a stable career, he took a dramatic turn few would ever see coming: he went to Mexico and worked alongside law enforcement in operations targeting drug cartels. #LockedInWithIanBick #RealStories #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #CartelStories #SurvivorStory #ChangeYourLife #StreetToStrength Thank you to BRUNT & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Brunt: $10 Off @BRUNT with code LOCKEDIN at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/lockedin #bruntpod Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! On Crown Point's Main Street stands a charming red-brick mansion hiding a chilling secret—the Old Lake County Jail. Once home to just ten cells, it eventually crammed in 150 inmates by 1928. Among them was America's most wanted gangster, John Dillinger, who famously escaped in 1934, leaving his captors humiliated—and some spirits behind. Though Dillinger slipped away, many prisoners never left. Visitors report apparitions of inmates and guards, the clang of cell doors slamming shut, phantom footsteps on the metal stairs, and whispers in dark hallways long after closing hours. Locals say this historic jail still holds those who served a life sentence—and never stopped. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we join Jacquie Thompson and Sandy Boyd to explore the haunted history of Old Lake County Jail. From the building's violent past to modern-day paranormal encounters, we uncover why this site is believed to be one of Indiana's most haunted places. For more information on the jail, tours, and paranormal investigations, visit their website at oldsheriffshouse.org or their Facebook page at Old Lake County Jail. #HauntedJail #OldLakeCountyJail #JohnDillingerGhost #RealGhostStories #HauntedIndiana #HistoricHauntings #GhostlyPrisoners #TheGraveTalks #HauntedPlaces #TrueParanormal #ParanormalInvestigations #GhostHunting Love real ghost stories?

After an inmate sucker-punches James Sexton, he defies the jail's unwritten rules by failing to exact violent retribution, and finds himself ostracized by his peers. But he becomes an expert in the antiquated jail computer system and eventually wins promotion to an elite jail-intelligence unit. Leah Marx has a cell phone smuggled to inmate-informant Anthony Brown, part of the FBI's increasingly ambitious scheme to catch dirty jailers. Jailers quickly discover the phone, however, and trace it to the FBI. Scrambling to hide Brown from the feds, the department enlists Sexton, who helps change Brown's name in the computer system and dubs the plan Operation Pandora's Box. For 18 days, from August-Sept. 2011, Marx struggles to find her informant.The effort to erase Anthony Brown from jail records showed how far leaders would go to shield themselves. A young deputy became central to the cover-up, and what began as a contraband phone case quickly spiraled into an obstruction probe. Reporter Chris Goffard, who previously told the story of Dirty John, guides listeners through this extraordinary clash between the Sheriff's Department and the FBI.
