John Gotti beaten up in prison


John Gotti was beaten up by a black inmate named Walter Johnson while in Marion Federal Prison in Marion, IL. Classified as a supermax facility designed to house the most dangerous offenders, Marion is the place for the worst of the worst. Gotti's housing area in the prison housed 20 inmates (10 upstairs and 10 downstairs) and all of the inmates in this housing area lived in one man cells. The inmates were on 23 hour a day lockdown and the only time the other inmates saw Gotti during the day is when he came out for his 1 hour of free time, with 4 other inmates, who were allowed to watch the TV in the recreation area or call their loved ones by phone. The fight was over a TV. Gotti basically controlled the TV and housing area. Gotti asked Johnson to change the channel on the TV, but Johnson refused, so Gotti called him a racial slur and they both got into each others faces. At that point Gotti punched him and Johnson grabbed him and slammed his head against a wall, then punched Gotti multiple times until Gotti hit the floor. The prison staff moved Johnson to another housing area for a month and then to another prison for his safety. Gotti paid the Aryan Brotherhood to murder the inmate, but the hit never happened. In prison, the prison gangs run the show and sometimes mobsters pay them for protection. In East Coast prisons they mostly pay the Aryan Brotherhood, same in prisons that are in the south or mid west. On the west coast they mostly pay La Eme or Nuestra Familia, which are both dangerous Chicano organized crime groups that were started as just prison gangs.

Wow, so he got beat up AGAIN?

Nope, this was just that one time. He died a while back.

I know man I was just kidding since it's been discussed plenty of times already and it usually ends in a debate about who was right, etc, etc.

That one pic of him sitting on his bed in his cell cracks me up for some reason, he looks so.. domesticated.

don't stop that money flow to the AB...or else. Like they were ever gonna let him outta payin after he had already started. And if he wouldn't have started this exact same thing probably would have happened in order to get him to start paying.

ok done.

Heard that one.

What happened to the guy that hit Gotti, is he still in jail?

He's the Deputy Mayor of Detroit, Michigan.

Christ, what did the guy do to deserve that?

I think the guy that duked it out with Gotti is dead now. Don't hold me to that.

Yep I think he was killed in a shooting, or something.

I really have to start using the smileys.

JG has that same pastie look just like Casso & Basciano took on in Prison as well.

Something in the water and the lack of Sunlight.

Johnson was released from prison in 2001 and ended up killing a DC cop a few months later. He was sentenced to life

Yes I thought you was being serious

Of course youre british its like being canadian

Thank you for those kind words..

Gotti was no kid when he got in to this fight...Ya gotta give him some credit for still having balls, but to get beat up because you couldn't change the channel yourself is pretty stupid, much like many of his decisions !!
