Not in a cold prison cell, or worse, shot to death or slaughtered in the streets like dogs. I’ll go first with a few….

The late early 1980s early 90s bosses seemed like they weren't even trying to stay out of prison, after watching what happened to the bosses of the Commission Trial, who were more shrewd than them. Chin Gigante and Joe Massino were the only ones from that era who had any sort of longevity. Didn't Carlos Marcello die free? What about Jack Dragna?

Athough not nearly as well known or ranked as high as an Accardo or Ricca. Nonetheless, Ross Prio was long considered a top leader in Chicago’s underworld.
