The LCN isn't a prison gang like La Eme. A lot of mob guys from all the families are incarcerated. But they're scattered in various prisons around the country. And often whites are a minority. Mob guys in prison aren't easy prey but they also don't run the joint, ala Goodfellas. Mob power is on the outside.
That whole Lucchese/Blood connection was overhyped. It's not like the Lucchese family and the Bloods sat down and worked out a formal partnership. It was one or two guys working with some Bloods to smuggle drugs and phones into prison.
I know I'm not that naive that I would think that they ran the joint like goodfellas only if I was IMAMOBGUY. Mob Attorneys and connections that are on boards since alot of prisons are becoming privatized especially in PA theres like a 100 of them. alliances with blacks and latinos. I've never been in Fed. Prison, but helped out some black guys with their cases and broke down things for them so they could understand it without being condescending. When I was in the Philadelphia County Jail... I know about being a minority when I was in there. A big group of Latinos were hanging out and two of the older members were eyeing me up one singled for me to come over...I pretended I didn't see them, thinking they were gonna start shit so they approached me... and the one guy asked he was like man we just wanted to know man you a Colombian or Italian...I'm Italian and that's what I told them...there like " Oh okay you look like a Colombian..and one of the other few white guys in there quipped to me you should have said you were a Colombian ..there afraid of them....
