I dont know why anyone would want to get inducted into the mafia today.
Look at John Pappa (Gerrard Pappa's son) - in his epic quest to emulate his father, John managed to get himslef busted and sentenced to life without parole at the ripe old age of 22.
What a way to waste your life.
Cops and politicans cant be bribed today like they used to be in the 1950's and 1960's.
Forensic science is so much more advanced today and guys seem to become rats much easier today.
Say what you will about Carmine Galante but at least that guy was a true cosa nostra and did his time with his mouth shut.
Even today the lure to "the life" is still there. Not for the same quantity or quality of guys but enough to keep a steady stream of new members coming into the New York families. The get out of jail free card no longer applies but there is often still a lot of money to be made by guys that would otherwise have to be making a lot less by punching a clock at some 9 to 5 job.
