Franzese spent 12 years in prison after being convicted in 1967 before he was paroled the first time in 1978.

He was on bail until sentencing in 1970, and therefore only served time from 1970-1978. There's an old article on how he toured peep shows in 1968 and 1969.

I know it's not part of the 5 families but like that whole Nicky Scarfo conviction netted some serious times for that family.

I would add Martin and Michael Tacetta

We can’t forget Gene Gotti and John Carneglia

Yea Martin will
Never come home. Mike did what? 20 and change. That’s not counting previous bids. And Martin is in Trenton. He’s doing life in arguably the worst place possible in the nj state prison system

I would say anything over ten years would be considered a "long stretch."

John W wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 8:15 am So I asked a question last week regarding made members from the 5 families that are still alive who have been serving the most time and this I think is the final answer

Genovese - Bobby Manna
Colombo - Carmine Persico
Gambino - Frankie Locascio
Lucchese - Vic Amuso
Bonanno- Tommy Pitera

I was wondering if we could come up with another list of made members that are still in prison who have been serving long sentences and also members who served long stretches but are now free?

Depends on your definition of long stretch.

GJ and John, I think we would have to put Sonny Franzese on any list wouldn't we, he has over 50 years total in the can.
