Thank you so much for listening to my story everyone and for all of your comments. I've made my share of mistakes and made many choices I'm not proud of, but the system is still messed up and needs to be changed. Thank you Ian for having me on the show! 🖤🖤🖤
Blood draws are normal, it’s called implied consent. If a person refuses to give blood then the implied consent we read off of a card allows us to involuntarily take your blood after we obtain a search warrant for the persons blood. It’s all done fairly quickly depending on how quickly the officer can type. The national standard for DUI is 0.08 or more it’s not just Texas. You didn’t get bamboozled
@@QuarterNickelDime-ti6vpthe blood draw stuff is messed up for real, I had mine forcefully taken and they weren’t properly trained and poked me 10 times until they got it and were laughing about it. (And I have a phobia of needles so it was basically torture to me plus I was sober🤦♂️🤦♂️)
Btw to u and Ian, prison and jail are not the same at all lol & Ian didn’t even go to real prison, he went to a federal prison camp which is a 5 star hotel compared to a usp or state prison
Im in love.
@@GTinHisBagg I imagine that was a terrible experience but at the end of the day this is what the national standard is for handling DUI’s
As a person from San Antonio. Shoutout to Ian Bick for putting someone from San Antonio on your podcast.
San Antonio is the best! Thanks for watching
It’s a city full of prisoners no disrespect
I visited San Antonio for spring break. I’m from the H . And y’all SA ppl are friendly af. I love it there. Slow living. Lots of ppl with respect and hard working. Respect 🫡
Bs. There rude here
Wow, I can really relate to her! I also had a DUI, didn’t get arrested because I had a wreck and got hurt but ended up arrested for failure to appear (wrote down the wrong date because they surely don’t give you any paperwork!) I didn’t drink in high school and did very well in college. I partied in college but kept it together and graduated with honors. No one would have ever expected that of me but it can happen to any of us! Never drink and drive folks, it’s a recipe for disaster!!!
Glad she came out on the other side ❤ very inspirational and another great interview!!
Thank you for interviewing more females!
Thanks so much for your support it means the world 🥰
@@ARIELSINTHESKY-kp9kh Thanks for sharing your story, Ariel... Happy to hear you got yourself straightened out before too much of your life was wasted on the inside... We have very similar stories, albeit my issues lasted quite a bit longer. Freedom is Happiness, Ariel... Wishing you the best in your future endeavors...
that was a wolf in sheep's clothing that stood by and watched his client plead guilty to a felony instead of a misdemeanor.
With a lawyer like that the prosecutor don't need to show up.
This was a great podcast. I spend 18 month in TDCJ. It was cool to hear what it was like for females in the same system. I really enjoyed her honesty about being so naïve. I was the same exact way. I always thought I would find a way out of it until it all went down.
Thank you so much
She’s a complete sweetheart. I love listening to the experiences on this channel even though I haven’t been to prison. They’re all different and bring a different perspective. Good shit Ian
Great interview and guest as always! I almost had that happen to me,
Great Job Ian
Keep it up Ian my favorite youtube channel
This is cool. I've been out of prison now for about 4 years. I ended up doing two prison bids. My first one was 8 years. My second one was 3 years. I have been in and out of jail. I bet 30 plus times and I went to multiple prisons starting in Wyoming. Also going to Sayre, Oklahoma and Pocahontas Virginia. I changed my life about 3 years ago. I'm a welder, a father, an addict in recovery and I'm so grateful for the life that I have today and I would never take back all the years that I lost because it helped mold me into the person that I am today
love your content!
Thank you!!
Great video
She didn't say the name of the state jail was in but I can assume (because she said Houston) she went to Plane State. We called it the dog pound. I pulled chain the day that Hurricane Ike hit. I didn't go thru classification for 2 weeks after my arrival. I ended up going to Henley Unit which was on the same property and I still thank GOD for getting away from Plane state. I got out February 9, 2008 and I haven't looked back since. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well, Ariel. It's not easy for a female felon on Texas.
dude !!!!! 53 :17 i hope the hell you asked her if she wanted to grab a veggie burger after the wrap !
Ian should ask her out!! They were vibing fr fr
she definitely blew him
my first thought two seconds in 😅
He’s gay
Absolutely. He's stumbling n tripping over his own breathing lmfao
lol you're dumb dude
Southwest Texas now Texas State has ALWAYS been the party school. lol. Enjoyed your story ❤
This might be the hottest guest Ians had on here
You must have very low standards, if you think she is hot.
His cheeks are all red and flushed 😅
Wow couldn't stomach this one.
Neither could i😮
but yet here you are. sounds like some emotional incel BS
I think happily ever after may be in order get you some Ian
I was searching for this one lol the vibe was definitely there
Check his OF for the vid
20 months for a probation violation is nuts plus all that probation time she got 😳 Texas don’t play fr
Get it Ian
GREAT VIDEO! I LIVE IN NEW BRAUNFELS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM San Antonio and my daughter goes to a Lutheran school!
How funny!! I live in Galveston, TX and going to the river is something I grew up doing and as an adult! Its a BLAST as a child or an a adult!
Would love to be on ur show and share my experiences with jail/prison/halfway and addiction/cancer stuggles/recovery journey
Well, Straight Edge used to be punk back when Ian McKay and Minor Threat kind of got it started within the hardcore scene. I was SE in 82-83. . . interesting story. Glad of your new path
Why is Ariel someone who “you’d never expect”? That’s why the system is f*^ked up? That thought process
Whatever buddy
Hell yeaaa 210 SA! Great interview
Did anyone keep track of all the "like" sentance fillers...😂😂😂
and your lawyer did you dirty
It is her responsibility to know what is going on and with ones own self.. like her court and trial proceedings...
She was Texas State the same time my son was attending. It was party central during that time.
Wow she is the same age of my daughter. Me and her mom have the same brother and sister there is six boys and seven sisters. If my daughter was still here on this earth she would resemble her and I can picture her like her. Please take care of yourself young lady. May God bless you in more ways than you ever know.
Man, her lawyer should be disbarred for encouraging her to take a *FELONY* over a misdemeanor smh. That entire thing about a DUI causing more problems than a felony, I've got no idea how that would be true. My friend has a DWI on his record and he still got his CDL several years later, outside of doing 90 days in jail, it's had zero long term impact on his life, let alone anything involving his driving privileges. I'd easily accept the loss of my license for a short period and do a bit of time in county over being a felon for the rest of my life, my firearm rights are wayy more important than the ability to drive for a year or whatever!
This entire interview is nothing more than a perfect example of why the war on dr**s is a joke. She had a DUI and one pill, I don't care what it was, it shouldn't have resulted in her having to go to prison and lose her rights for the rest of her life! It was one pill, she wasn't Pablo Escobar 🤦
She got completely screwed by her attorney
Did u not listen to what she said, way over the limit, swaying on the road.
@@maymalone1505 I heard it, doesn't change anything. I don't care if she'd have blown a .50, there's only so much time they're allowed to give for a charge and felonies almost always carry more time than misdemeanors. More importantly, a felony can impact you for the rest of your life including your ability to rent, vote and buy a firearm while a misdemeanor is really nothing. There's something called "sentencing guidelines" and reguardless of what condition she was in, a misdemeanor DWI can only carry around a 90 day sentence in most states while possession of what she had is a felony that carries up to 2 years in prison and carries a fine of up to $2,000. Idk about you but if my choices are between pleading guilty to a 90 day misdemeanor and a 2 year felony, I'm picking the misdemeanor every single time!
@@Blunt_Manwho cares what u care,ur obviously very irresponsible like a lot of people 😮
What I've noticed. Every single person who goes to jail knows how they can avoid it. Then they decide they aren't going to avoid it. So they experience it. Then they get to decide if next time they are going to avoid it. Avoiding it myself, it's kinda better to avoid it than experience it.
The reason you don't get good time in state jail is because state jail is flat time. No parole no time taken off. The day you are sentenced you have your release date as well.
Yep day for day 🙄
For anyone that has dealt with Texas probation and parole know for fact that parole is WAYYYY easier to complete than probation. At least felony probation. Texas doesn't f around.
Great interview she was very pleasant to listen to
I did 18 months in Oregon state prison in Salem Oregon for grow pot with out a medical card .When I was released Oregon had voted in recreational. I had divorced 5 months prior to being sentenced. Married 19 years...first & only arrest...I came out a different person for sure . The judge, was a lawyer that I owed money to , but filed bankruptcy on years before . Last two months I spent in the hole .I'm 62 now this was 20 years ago. ALOHA from the big island of Hawaii...still trying to forget & forgive my self and judge T Grove .
Am I missing something or did they gloss over the most important item of the interview and that is…….what kind of “pill” are we talking about here????!
It probably gets smelly 😂 😂 😂
😂
Lynnwood California county
jail was sued for non privacy
from the years, idk 2011-18(?).
(Texas doesn't pay the state
jail inmates for the work,
asfaras license plates etc,
preformed). It was like
$2000 + per female.
They performed these
body searches outside
with generally a curtain
or nothing
My heart goes out to this young woman, she didn’t deserve 20 months! It proves once again how broken our country is and how the prison is making money. Glad to see she is doing well.
I am from the UK and it’s shocking how different the things are in USA. I find these interviews incredible. I can tell you now that this lady would not spend one night in jail in the UK for her crime.
Drink driving is taken very seriously in Britain as it should be, she was very lucky that no-one died or had serious injury😮
live sa texas too 45 years ugh...black metal band...grunge era...im bout exit life now...rough....lived all over sa texas n on san pedro...
Such an amazing story. Thank hoy for sharing and best of luck to you and your amazing family. ✌️
It’s crazy taking the felony with the possibility of it being expunged over a dwi like if you violate felony probation you can get a few years the dwi would’ve just been 93 days
Ian, you should interview a woman who has done institutional time in Texas (1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree felony) to contrast with Ariel's experience. There are similarities but also many differences. Texas may not have the worst women's system in the US, but it arguably has the toughest, with the heat, forced labor, and frequent strip searches. Texas still has hoe squads for women (may be the only state that still does that) and at the Hobby unit, women returning to their unit from working on hoe squad are stripped outdoors in a group in a sort of "corral" with privacy screens.
The system is so sick, and many of it's people are as well...just t sick people involved in a sick system. It needs tore down and rebuilt.
🙌
She went to a concert to see Styx and Journey? Wow.. should’ve kept hanging out with the hardcore straight edge kids 😂
Prison generally has better food and more access to things like exercise equipment. They actually have libraries.
"Like the drunk tank is disturbing," Chick, so we're you don't act like you were any different from that population in the tank, lmao
Ive been to jail multiple times.. Did 6 months once.... Shes completely different from the people in there
basically, if you get a bed, you been there.
💯
At least in Cali, if you refuse the breathalyzer at the police station then they will order your blood to be drawn to measure the BAC.
That’s what they did to her
Ian, she said a hard-core in your like hard-core drugs lol hilarious
Illinois does a blood draw. At least they did for me back in 2011. Arkansas and Wisconsin I did not get my blood drawn
Her lawyer was a crook.
Please publish the name of the lawyer who "represented" Ms. Lakata. This attorney is a clown and possibly a conspirator.
Too many “like, like, like” to be a good storyteller
Undercover beer cop
Weekend jail is not as common any more. There were some jails that were so crowded that you would check in Friday evening by a certain time, you would get credit for that day and then they would release you early Saturday with credit for two days.
Her experience sound similar to what I’ve seen with people who are handed diversion programs some sort of alternative sentencing and fail to complete it. The judge will throw the book at you.
Yeah here in Texas if u refuse to blow into the machine then they take ur blood once u get to jail. Either way ur screwed. Average price of a DUI in Texas in $10k
Same as California
10 grand seems like the average Bud? $5000 for a lawyer plus $2500 for drug/alcohol treatment, plus $2000 for shock trauma and psychologically 🤔
I love the members perk of seeing vids first I wish you gave more love to your faithful members 😂😂🤟🏽🙏🏽
I appreciate you!!
@ianbickCT
Exactly what is that suppose
to mean "I appreciate you?"
Whyyyyy do you appreciate
this generous member? Ahhh...
I guess I should use "all due

correctness 'obtusity' but whatev.

... And why people donate
as much money to
channels, like a Matt Cox,
Tim Pool, Tucker, to where
they become less than
millionaires? Have seen
$150.00 $500.00 cash
donations. I mean do people
really have so much extra
after paying a
mortgage/rent utilities, phones,
food, living expenses, cars,
insurances, taxes, childcare,
presents, medical, yadda yadda.
idk but just paying $1200 for
rent in a 1 room single room
occupancy with community b.r.
& showers. I see brand new
50 k cars driving everywhere
with new tires on this disastrous
infrastructure in CA. I witness
million dollar condos occupied.
See young & old clogging up
freeways and city streets
with the apparent money
to burn attitude.
Nina- Damn you sound like a completely annoying and unnecessary person. Your probably thinking, what does unnecessary even mean. SMH, weirdo!!??
Just trying to get a laugh or two didn't mean anything serious bout my comment.
5:19 no, mo ron, kids shouldn't "get a choice"...
We have to comply with the law
Bro great interview, I'm not gonna lie I probably watched the whole thing because your guest is fucking drop dead gorgeous!!! More like her please I'll take seconds😅😅
Thank you!! ☺
At first I was like prison for 1 dui was crazy. Then understood after she talked about the pill.
Here are the states that don’t pay inmates for any work TEXAS/ARKANSAS/GEORGIA/…and these states allows SOME UNPAID LABOR..ALABAMA/FLORIDA/SOUTH CAROLINA/MISSISSIPPI/OKLAHOMA/…aka just stay free dude😅
This girl seems ???
Normal/smart .
WHY didn't she get a real lawyer ...and appeal ???
So much of her story does not add up. She is leaving so much out.
In Comal county you would never get a 40k bond just for one oxy (2010) or whatever kind of pill she had. If she had no priors and they gave her a 40k bond, they found much than one pill. By the time she was charged, the amount was probably reduced to just one pill, but when she was arrested, it was probably much more. That kind of bond is for possession and intent to distribute. She was definitely selling to at least her social circle.
If her felony possession case was going to get dropped after her three years of probation, that means she had a pre-trial diversion agreement for dismissal, which is a very very good deal on a felony charge. And it is better deal is they were going to completely drop the DWI charge because even if the DWI charge would be dismissed after successful probation, the DWI charge is NEVER dropped from your Texas drivers license record, and after the very least she is going to pay about 5k in additional insurance premiums. Not to mention that if she were ever charged with DWI again in Texas, her drivers license would automatically be suspended immediately for 2 years, regardless if she beat the DWI charge in criminal court. Sounds like she does not even understand that the license hearing is completely independent of the criminal DWI charge.
She passes off blame about not completing the felony probation on, "she (her first attorney) should have known that I wasn't going to take the probation seriously." So when she didn't complete her probation, she probably kept using and selling to her social circle and when her first attorney found out, her attorney dropped her as a client because the attorney knew she was too much of a risk. And that is when she had to switch attorneys to the male attorney. She skips over that whole part.
When her second attorney asked her to ride with him to the court that day, he KNEW that she was going in front of the judge for her probation revocation hearing on her non-compliance of her second probation, and that she was almost certainly going to jail. So either her life was still so chaotic with her pill use that she didn't understand that it was her hearing day (probably he told her and she received paperwork in the mail and from her probation officer that her court coming up) OR, he thought that she was a bad risk client and he set up the probation revocation hearing early. He was pissed off at her as a client and he just wanted to be done with her. As she was probably still missing classes and piss tests and had signs that she was still dealing and using.
She couldn't handle it and totally broke down when she went on the stand because she was still using and dealing and the prosecutor caught her in a bunch of lies when she couldn't explain her non-compliance with the probation.
Long story short, she can't/won't take accountability for what happened leading up to her incarceration and she very very likely will end up getting popped again. Seen it happen a million times. Until you can take accountability for what really happened and be honest with yourself and others, you are going to repeat the whole process again because you want to keep doing whatever it was that got you to that point in the first place. which in her case is most likely using and small time dealing.
It is crazy that someone raised in a 'normal' family with 80-90 college credits wouldn't realize seriousness of not following parole to get her charge expunged, didn't realize it was her trial, that her attorney didn't prep her for trial, that attorney didin't involve her parents (even if she was an 'adult') when she didn't take the 5 weekends jail/that she didn't realize she could get 20 months...Not sure if attorney was incompetent or if she was just that out of it.
Way to much time on your hands. Holy cow.
have you or someone who is very close to you ever been through the DWI process? or possession with intent to distribute charge?it is a very serious process with life altering consequences. Why would you mock that?@@maddtech348
Dame right ✅
Another TDCJ alumni here
Great story!.. Cool down to earth girl!.. AND SUPER CUTE!... LOL
Great interview! TDCJ is a joke. They want their AC system for next to nothing. My friends company put in a bid to retrofit a facility and were not selected. TDCJ was sued for not having AC in their facilities.
Honestly this girl is not being honest. I guarantee she's an addict or somethings up. No way it went down like that if she wasn't dealing with something that altered her mind to let a paid attorney not help but hurt her case. She was most likely failing ua's etc. and at that point the attorney couldn't do anything to help her due to her taking probation. Does not add up.
I do not like her
@TasiaAlexisFam needs to be on this pod
Didn’t know Ian was interested in starting an OF🤣🤣🤣
Probably 1 of the most annoying people i have ever heard, very lucky she got away with what she did fairly lightly, when u consider other spending 20 yrs and lifetime's in prison for nothing 😮
Don’t be such a Debbie downer
I don’t like her
We have forgotten that Prisons were/are a place of punishment. This is not a summer camp.
I just noticed that her name is Ariel Lakata my last name is Lakota!! How weird!❤
Like, wow!😂😂😂
It surprises me that her facility didn't have a vegitarian option.
Last I knew TDCJ offered "Meat free", "diet for health" options.
Usually the state jail facilities are pretty rough because the inmates don't have
much time to do so they don't care. I was interested to know what facility she was in.
I was a little disappointed she didn't say.
I was at Plane State Jail facility in Dayton!
@@ARIELSINTHESKY-kp9kh Oh cool. I thought your might have been in one of the female units in Gatesville. I lived around there for a while.
It’s Texas they aren’t going to do meat free in jails
@@cestness haha exactly!
@@cestness Yes they do. I assure you. I have first had knowledge. Do you?
If you’re gonna drink an drive drive fast to lessen the exposure time!! Simple as that 😊
Lesson learned from this experience? Hire a damn good attorney!!! Her attorney knew from the get go she was going to jail that day! He either sux or dropped the ball! Always hire a attorney that knows the judge and prosecutor!!! A round of golf and a paid bar tab will definitely work to your advantage!!!
Treating people like animals and disrespectfully says more about the prison system than it does about the prisoners. If guards and staff think that does anything positive they couldn't be more wrong. Enjoyed your story very much.
“I probably shouldn’t have been driving”
Just um... like.... um.... like.... um
... like....
You must’ve gone to a different TXST than I’m going to ik the rep but we work our assess off😂
Not the trump supporters, they are lazy af
Omg 😍
How can she not remember. She was 26
I just don't understand why you would go to trial and you were caught red handed, her lawyer wasn't worth 2 dollars ,
I don't understand why your attorney did not make.clear the real world alternatives you had and then let you going to jail
This girl says “like” so much I had to stop listening.
That attorney was a scumbag!!! All of that for 1 pill ??? That attorney was a money grubber!
Ian - I love your videos ,I really hope that you focus on more quality than posting 3 uploads a week . From when I started watching you until now , you are turning into a two party “Soft white underbelly “
I’m not being a jerk - I am just saying - Quality stories
You need to ask her out on a date bro
Love u ian but u gotta listen she said I played the cello and 1 minute later u asked what instrument did you play...
Tax dollars years in prison for a pill. That's wild
1 pill and an over the bac limit? Ian do better
I’m lost, what did she do 20 months for?
Felony possession of a controlled substance
@lrmzx636 she also grabbed that as a new charge up top of being on probation already and violating both of them.
She's gorgeous 😛
🇬🇧
Thank you! ☺
She got some really bad legal advice. You never accept a felony when there are other options.
20 months ? For what!
Probation revocation?
Did you take it to the gate no porole after released?
So was the lawyer tricked? were they not good?
Crime is prison
It’s that simple sooner or later
Follow the crowd and you get prison time
