I Was A Boston Mob Legend - Then I spent 25+ years In Prison | Gigi Marino

1 hour 52 minutes

Former Boston mobster Vincent Gigi Marino opens up about his life inside organized crime. Growing up in Boston, Gigi shares how his upbringing and family life led him down the wrong path and into a world of stick-ups, bank robberies, and the streets. He details his time in state prison, and what it was really like to spend decades inside the federal prison system surrounded by some of the most notorious criminals in America. This is an inside look at mob life, survival behind bars, and the lessons Gigi learned after years of living in the shadows.
