Yeah and its ridiculous in both cases. These guys aren't terrorists, they don't just kill for sport. I will say the Polish guy the Calabrese bros. whacked was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but to lock these guys up with scumbag coward terrorists like the underwear bomber, ramzi binalshibh, etc. is just wrong. They say Frank mouthed "I'll kill you" to Markus Funk (US attorney) during his trial, BFD? You know how many guys in court threaten the judge/prosecutor/jury and don't end up being kept in complete isolation like rabid animals? For christs sake the guy is in his mid 70's now, and has little-to-no pull on the street anymore. They lock a crew boss up in isolation, yet have no problem letting a guy like Carmine Persico reside in camp cupcake (Butner) and run an entire family for 20+ years? Its a joke.
