I agree entirely, some of the most hardened, and cold blooded of criminals would rather die than go back to prison a second time. That’s why I say, I don’t understand why time in prison is an indicator as a qualification for being made. Not to mention that not only would some hardcore criminals rather die than go back, depending on the time they’re facing for their second bid in prison - will flip and snitching quicker than they would commit suicide to avoid going back.

If I was a mafia boss of some kind, I would rather make a man who can get the job done, have no problem doing that job, and have the knowledge and skills to avoid ever being caught. Chances are these are high crimes, and the man is going to either go out in glory or sink the entire empire with him - why take that chance? Repeatedly going through the revolving door just has “sloppiness” written all over, and in an organization especially a criminal organization there is no room for sloppiness.

If you were a mob boss...lol

Can’t say I would want someone in my crew who has a knack for getting locked up, not having fear of prison is a plus because that makes the person less likely to rat to get out of it, but having been...that certainly shouldn’t be a requirement. Is what it is

No but it would be ideal. Guys who have been in prison generally get more respect on the street than guys who haven’t done the time. I think there was a wiretap where Colombo guys suggested that, someone correct me if I’m wrong.
