Qualifications for getting made ?

[furiofromnaples]

Some people who go to prison once will do anything to avoid to going back though. I've heard of parolees commiting suicide by cop just to avoid being sent back. Not everyone who serves a prison sentence is tough enough to handle doing it again.

Sonny Franzese went in and out of prison from the 1930s and the last times was in his 90s. The mob is plenty of made men that spent half of their life in prison.

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.

Not quite sure what’s funny about that hypothetical.

Imagine being an elitist on a mafia forum

[Grouchy Sinatra]

1) Must be at least 1/2 Italian

2) Must be vouched for by a made guy

3) Must have a YouTube channel

4) Must have a photo spread in Esquire

5) Must appear on Joe Rogan (avoid Howard Stern, as real mobsters tend to call into that show and question mob guests' credibility)

6) A LinkedIn profile helps but isn't required
