Some men in prison would fuck anything. Have you heard of Richard Speck. Watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQlmque ... chMojo.com It is beyond bizarre. One of creepiest videos I've ever seen.

Hazelton is an infamous prison but if a prisoner like James whitey Bulger was whacked after 24 hours and the suspects is a the genovese greek associates or DeCologero crew member I think that the mob doesnt control but with the bribery have some weight thanks the guards.

That is what this guy on reddit says. He says that LCN guys in Hazelton were involved in prison politics.

I am sure it's not like Goodfellas . But LCN guys have some freedom, in the sense , they can move freely on their wing and get some leeway cause they aren't trouble.CO's are always putting the LCN members and connected guys together . Usually the Italian OC guys are left to be. Even if they are just a few. Most of the gangs don't bother them. Most of these guys are in Federal prisons and not state which means they will run into other LCN members , from other families so they will usually have friendly company. There are Mafia prison wings in some federal prisons. CO's put the LCN members and connected guys together because they know they won't cause any problems. And maybe in prisons the mafiasos are not feared but in there they are truly respected.

I have read on reddit that LCN mobsters are cliqued up with Boston white boys in federal prisons. Boston white boys are mostly Irish and Italian prison gang. There are Italian OC guys and Boston crews in most federal prisons. 30-40 of anything on a yard becomes a potent force. Boston white boys are mostly bank and armored car robbers and mostly Irish and Italian. This guy Gilli Brando did time in FCI Beaumont with Vic Amuso. He says that Boston dudes were running the yard there. In this video he speaks about that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Den4P46QTaU

the mafiosi are the most irredeemable criminals, we are talking about people who are still delinquent at the age of 80 lol, and in prison those who are hit are usually vulnerable, the opposite of what the mafiosi are

I agree. The weakest guys get the worst treatment in prison and that If you're a well respected criminal on the outside, then chances are you'll be respected in prison.

i don't know in the united states, but in italy it is more probable that a heroin addict will stop himself alone than a mobster (mafia/camorra/ndrangheta) redeems himself

In the U.S., once you have a felony on your record, redemption is nearly impossible. You can't get jobs, loans, or government assistance, which means that a mobster has little choice but to continue their life of crime, even if they don't want to.

Thank you. He really said little about Amuso. Still, the story of how the feds stole Amuso's car and bugged it is interesting.
