I Was in the Sex Money Murder Gang — Then I Got 17 Years in Prison | Omar Aikens

Omar Aikens joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up in Trenton, New Jersey, getting into trouble at a young age, and eventually building a large-scale cocaine distribution operation that would land him in federal prison for over 17 years. What started as small decisions in the streets quickly escalated into running a network that moved multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine, involving couriers, shipments, and multiple people working under him before federal investigators shut everything down. In this episode, Omar breaks down how fast money, status, and the street lifestyle pulled him deeper into the game, and how it all came crashing down after a long-term investigation led to his arrest and sentencing. He also opens up about surviving time in some of the toughest federal penitentiaries in the country, including USP Big Sandy and USP Canaan, sharing the reality of prison politics, violence, and the mental battles that come with doing serious time. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #DrugEmpire #FederalPrison #GangLife #TrueCrimeStories #ExConvict #StreetLife #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Omar Aikens: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mromaraikens/?hl=en Buy his book: https://www.amazon.com/Operation-Capital-City-Aikens-Story-ebook/dp/B0CW1F9T2L _____________________________________________ 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 Violent Beginning & Early Life Story 02:00 Growing Up in Trenton, New Jersey 05:40 Troubled Childhood & First Crimes 10:10 Getting Into the Drug Game 15:15 Building a Drug Operation 20:15 Rising in the Streets: Expansion & Risk 26:30 Drug Bust, Losses & Getting Caught 32:00 Arrest, Charges & Legal System 37:00 Sentenced to 17 Years in Prison 41:00 Life in Federal Prison (Big Sandy) & Violence 49:00 Surviving Prison: Daily Life & Hustles 55:00 Gang Politics & Transfer to USP Canaan 01:03:00 Family, Loss & Long-Term Prison Impact 01:09:15 Leaving the Street Life Behind 01:15:00 Life After Prison & Reentry Struggles 01:19:00 Leaving Gangs & Giving Back 01:22:00 Redemption, Lessons & Advice _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
