I Robbed My Drug Dealers — Then Had To Survive Prison

Nick Marshall grew up in New Jersey with a good family a middle class upbringing and every reason to believe his life was heading somewhere good — until peer pressure and street life pulled him into drug dealing while he was still in high school. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares how he went from his first crime to deep in the drug game by 20 — selling using and eventually robbing his own suppliers in a move that he knew was going to end badly before it even started. He opens up about the day the final robbery got him caught what the arrest really felt like what three years in prison actually looked like from the inside and how he rebuilt his life in New York's nightlife scene after everything the streets and the system put him through. #DrugGameSurvivor #PrisonToRedemption #TrueCrimeStories #NYCNightlife #ExDealerStory #FromStreetsToSuccess #LockedInPodcast #SecondChanceJourney Connect with Nick Marshall: Instagram: Instagram: thenickmarshall Buy his book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/book...
