Some wiseguys are doing hard time, like Gotti and Basciano because they humiliated the government. But most of them aren't. Are they in an ideal place? Of course not! Are they somewhere I would wanna be? Of course not! But I don't think it's bad enough to become a rat and risk losing your gangster legacy, all of your respect, and having your relatives turn their backs on you. Just do your time, it's that simple.
