Justin Rollins, author of The Lost Boyz, joins me on The New Mind Podcast to reveal the shocking truth of his life and what led to ending up in prison, where his cell neighbour was child killer Ian Huntley. 

In this raw and unforgettable conversation, Justin opens up about his descent into violence, addiction, and madness, and how he found redemption through facing his deepest trauma.

From the chaos of street life to the darkness of prison walls, Justin shares what it takes to survive, forgive, and rebuild your mind. 

I explore the psychology of crime, the impact of childhood trauma, and the power of healingafter years of chaos and pain.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt lost, angry, or stuck in survival mode…and for those who want to understand how trauma shapes identity, and how awareness can set you free.

In this episode:

• What it’s like to live beside a killer in prison

• How trauma drives violence and addiction

• The psychology of gangs, fear, and belonging
