I don't have a clue but i'm guessing people who know they're spending the rest of their lives behin bars might target high profile inmates. The mafia has died down over the last decade or so but are still notorious because of the past not beig able to pose the threat they could've in the 30s-70s could make them vulnerable to people trying to make a name for themselves. Great question btw
I can see that happening.Wasn't Capone targeted in Alcatraz, and as mentioned, Gotti in Marion?
And what's a New York gangster going to to when he's locked up in some hell hole in Texas? Seems to me he's on his own.
