I Escaped Jail — Then Survived 32 Brutal Years in Prison | John Moore

John Moore grew up in Connecticut carrying the weight of childhood trauma that pushed him toward trouble at a young age. What started as a life of bad decisions quickly escalated into serious crime when he was arrested for kidnapping and robbery, but the chaos didn’t stop there. While sitting in jail awaiting his case, John continued fighting and causing problems until he made a desperate move, he escaped jail and fled to New York. While on the run he committed another robbery before eventually being caught, a decision that would change his life forever. Between charges in Connecticut and New York, John was ultimately sentenced to nearly 50 years in prison. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, John shares the true story of surviving 32 years inside some of the most brutal prisons, navigating gangs, violence, and constant attacks while trying to stay alive. Despite the harsh reality of decades behind bars, John also found an unexpected light in the darkness, meeting the woman who would become his wife and building a family through conjugal visits while still incarcerated. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #lockedinpodcast #jailescape #prisonstory #prisonsurvival #truecrimepodcast #prisonlife #exinmate _____________________________________________ Connect with John Moore: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jay_triple_x?_r=1&_t=ZP-94JYBavrQIp YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jaytriplex?si=vFn5Ln4dyjyA5-yc _____________________________________________ 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 Prison Escape: How the Breakout Happened 03:00 Childhood Struggles and Growing Up 07:00 First Arrests and Early Trouble With the Law 13:00 Escalating Crime and Facing Consequences 22:00 Juvenile Detention and Life Behind Bars Young 32:00 Jail Life, Prison Violence, and Survival 45:00 Solitary Confinement, Segregation, and Isolation 57:00 The Infamous County Jail Escape 01:01:00 On the Run: Living as a Fugitive 01:14:00 Hostage Situation and Final Surrender 01:21:00 Arrest, Police Beatings, and Sentencing 01:29:00 Entering the New York Prison System 01:39:00 Brutal Prison Life and Notorious Inmates 01:54:00 Turning Point: Love and Changing Direction 02:03:00 Returning to Connecticut and Family Loss 02:13:00 Release From Prison and Life After 02:21:00 Lessons From Prison and Regrets 02:28:00 Final Thoughts and Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.
