Thanks for clearing that up carmela. As for the Mafiosi themselves living in prisons , ate they treated like ordinary prisoners or do they get their little perks now and then. Also I would like to know, how are italian prisons anyway? Are they rough, peaceful , corrupt ?
If you're a fugitive, you're already convicted in absentia by the time they catch you. You'll have to do your sentence for whatever crime that was and anything else they can pin on you after catching you.
Most all bosses that are captured are immediately put into what is usually reserved for the worst criminals and mafiosi, which is the 41b regime. This is to insure no pizzini will get out from that boss to others on the outside, although some still manage to.
It's similar to confinement in the US. One hour a day of daylight, one hour only per month for a visitor behind glass only, one hour for lawyer visit, etc.
The ones that aren't under article 41, do get some perks periodically. I know of one that is jailed for life, but 2 years ago, he was allowed to come down from where he's being held in north italy to see his family in sicily for 4 hours. Just because.
