I Broke Into Disney Hotels — Then Went to Florida Prison

Nina grew up in New Jersey with a rough childhood that left her vulnerable before she was old enough to protect herself — and when she was groomed as a teenager and dragged to Florida the life that followed looked nothing like anything she had planned. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares how she ended up homeless and addicted to drugs in Florida, how she and her boyfriend started breaking into and robbing Disney hotels to survive, how a police sting operation ended with a high stakes arrest, and what six years in Florida state prison really looked like from a youth offender moving into general population. She also opens up about the addiction struggles she fought behind bars, what starting over from absolutely nothing after prison actually required, and how she turned everything she survived into a platform that is now helping others who are going through the same thing. #DisneyHotel #DisneyStory #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonStory #FloridaPrison #CrimeDocumentary #LockedInPodcast #truecrimecommunity Connect with Nina: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thatlilnina?_...
