In Italy the thing is difference if the members of ndrangheta,camorra or mafia don't stay in the 42 bis,the other prisoners don't touch him or will be killed; there are few case Michele Tripodo killed by the NCO as a favour to the De Stefano ndrina,Mike Turatello killed in 1983.
in italy there are not prison gangs and the prisons are dominated by mafia-ndrangheta-camorra bosses... even if they are under 41 bis they order what to do to other inmates
in the states the mafiosi have several people around only in the eastern prisons
