How long has DiMeo been in prison is basically what I'm asking.
Exactly when the boss DiMeo went to prison has never been revealed on the show. The episode with the flashbacks (Season Three, Episode 10: "To Save Us All From Satan's Power") shows the year 1995. And in that year of 95, we see Pussy alive and well, Jackie alive and in command of the Family, and Tony with most of a head of hair!
So, to answer your question, Jackie Aprile Sr was acting boss of the DiMeo Family at LEAST from 1995 until his death in 1999. Most likely he was boss a lot sooner than 1995, but the exact date hasn't been revealed.
