It's interesting to see when guys from across the country end up in the same facility and have opportunities to build relationships, (even though by now the vast majority of members in prison are NY guys). It got me thinking about a couple of stories Scott reported on recently.

First thing is Patty Dellorusso making connections to Chicago in prison and following up after his release. When John Pennisi appeared on the OG Podcast to discuss Matteo Messina Denaro's arrest, they briefly discussed it and Pennisi confirmed he was aware of Dellorusso's relationship in Chicago and felt he'd end up getting indicted over it.

Secondly, Scott recently reported about relationships between Kansas City and Chicago and Kansas City and Philadelphia (specifically George Borgesi and some KC associates). Vincent Pisciotta being in Fort Dix would certainly provide the opportunity for at least a social relationship between KC and other families. A couple of years ago, Fort Dix contained the highest concentration of made guys in the entire federal prison system. While there weren't any Philly guys there at that time, somebody who was held there was Patsy Parrello, who knows and had met Borgesi, Merlino, and other Philly members.

I haven't tracked associates because it'd be quite a monumental undertaking, but I'd reckon there are probably quite a few other interesting connections across the country. After all, Philadelphia ended up with a Boston crew in the 1990s because Bobby Luisi knew someone who had been behind bars with Ralph Natale.

NE has had all of the big names on the street for a while. Idk if they're doing things quiet and correctly, or they're not doing anything at all.
If nobody sees it, it didn't happen.

I believe even people serving life can get compassionate release at the very end of the line.

Sometimes I hear things like "20 or 25 to life" "life with parole" and I'm sure they are other variations of how it's used. When life is a word the judge uses to incarcerate someone how often does it mean till one actually passes on?

"LIFE" is for life in the federal system. There is no parole for inmates incarcerated for crimes committed after November 1, 1987, in accordance with the Federal Sentencing Reform Act.

The two most common reasons for a prisoner's early release:

1. Compassionate release, which must be granted by a judge
2. Early release for "good behavior." Inmates with little to no infractions while imprisoned can get months shaved off of their sentence and be released earlier than their initial sentencing.

A less common reason (at least from my observations) is a mistake in the calculation of sentencing guidelines which results in a re-calculation of the inmate's sentence. This may result in an adjustment of the inmate's release date but I admit that I'm no expert in this field.

And, of course, an inmate's sentence may be reduced or overturned based on appeal.

"20 to 25" or "20 to life" are based on sentencing guidelines. Typically, the D.A. will calculate the "range" of sentencing based on sentencing guidelines that are created by the DOJ. They then recommend how long the convicted should be sentenced based on that range. The judge can then use that number or go higher or lower at their discretion, while staying within the sentencing guidelines. Again, I'm not an expert, this is just my understanding of it.

As I mentioned above, there is no parole in the federal system. Most of the inmates still grandfathered in under the old rules have been released or are dead. There may be some still kicking around, though.

Wonder if Saracino will become active after his prison release
Wonder what the life will even be like by then…
Saracino was originally expecting to plead guilty and do 17 years for the 2008 bust which had yet to happen when Saracino mentioned it though they were imminent at the time

What do you mean there is no parole in the federal system?
But you could be released on good behavior? Is that the only means of early release in the fed system if so?

No parole in the federal system. You serve out your entire sentence unless released on compassionate grounds or your sentence is adjusted or overturned on appeal. For every 365 days of "good behavior," you get 54 days off your sentence. Obviously, this doesn't apply to life sentences (but could if that sentence is adjusted).
