Corrupt Rikers Island Guard vs The Honest Union Boss — Nothing Is Off Limits

Steven Dominguez was a correction officer at Rikers Island. Norman Seabrook ran the correction officers' union. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, they sit down face to face for a rare and uncomfortable conversation — one that holds a corrupt guard accountable in front of the man who was supposed to represent him. They debate corruption, power, and the reality of working inside one of America's most controversial jail systems — challenging each other on what's truth and what's misunderstood, and asking whether meaningful reform at Rikers Island is even possible today. #RikersIsland #PrisonCorruption #TrueCrime Watch my interview wirh Steven Dominguez:    • I Was A Corrupt Rikers Island Prison Guard...   Watch my interview with Norman Seabrook:    • I Ran New York’s Prison System   Connect with Steven Dominguez:   / chillstevie   Connect with Norman Seabrook:   / normseabrook   Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?h... https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Corrupt Rikers Guard vs Honest Union Boss — The Full Story 01:53 The Corruption and Dysfunction Inside Rikers Island Nobody Talks About 04:42 How the System Capitalism and Jail Jobs Create Corrupt Officers 07:02 Why So Many Young Inexperienced Officers End Up Corrupt at Rikers 10:30 Personal Stories and the Family Ties That Pull People Into Jail Work 13:04 The Reality of Corruption at Rikers — What Becomes Normal and Why 16:17 Temptation Greed and the Moment Officers Choose to Cross the Line 18:42 How Leadership Addiction and Culture Among Officers Enables Corruption 22:17 Who Is Really Responsible When Officers Go Bad 24:18 Real Corruption Stories and the Consequences Nobody Prepares You For 27:40 The Mental Health Crisis Inside Rikers and How It Feeds the Cycle 33:40 Second Chances and What Redemption Really Looks Like After Corruption 36:20 The Lessons Learned and How Community Influence Shapes Everything 38:16 The Broken Infrastructure and Safety Crisis Nobody Wants to Address 40:54 The Leadership Decisions That Could Actually Fix Rikers Island 44:00 Closing Rikers Island — The Real Solutions and Real Consequences 46:25 What a Warden Would Actually Do Differently — Reform From the Inside 50:26 How Hip Hop Culture and Society Shape What Happens Inside Rikers 53:36 Communication Humanity and What It Really Takes to Break the Cycle 58:06 Why Supervisor Support Is the Single Most Important Factor at Rikers 01:03:11 Final Thoughts — What Both Men Want You to Know About Rikers Island To advertise on the show, contact [email protected] or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/Locked...
