he has spent most of that time in prison he was on the streets 1994-1999 (not including a parole violation he got around that time) and 2011-16 (not including the parole violation) he has actually only spent ten years on the streets running the family from prison i dont consider impressive look at amuso he is hardly impressive when he has spent most of time as boss in prison

Also Joey was not the official boss till 1999. Joey has not spent alot of time leading the family from the streets and the reality is whoever has the power on the streets is the leader which matters
