Summary

Troy Maloney grew up in Massachusetts surrounded by crime — his grandfather was a known mobster. From juvenile detention to multiple stints in county jail, Troy’s life was headed down a dark path.

In this interview, Troy shares what led him to prison, what life was like behind bars, and how his past still affects him today. #ArsonCase #PrisonStory #TrueCrimePodcast #MobFamily #JuvenileDetention #RedemptionStory #MassachusettsCrime #LockedInWithIanBick Thank you to SHADY RAYS & RIDGE for sponsoring today's episode: Shady Rays: Get 35% off polarized glasses at https://shadyrays.com/ - code LOCKEDIN Ridge: Thank you to RIDGE for sponsoring today's episode: Upgrade your wallet today!
