Locked In with Ian Bick I Was A Prison Guard In Arizona’s Most Dangerous Units | Jaycee Reidhead
Jaycee Reidhead’s journey from a traumatic incident in high school to working inside Arizona’s most dangerous prisons is nothing short of incredible. Instead of going straight to law school, she spent seven years as a correctional officer in high-security facilities, including housing units for severely mentally ill inmates. During her time behind prison walls, she faced daily violence, chaos, and even survived being stabbed by an inmate. #PrisonStories #CorrectionsOfficer #ArizonaPrison #PrisonLife #COStories #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #RedemptionStory Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps:
