One thing I would of liked to see in the Sopranos which was never shown is how the major characters would of dealt with being sent to jail for long periods, life for instance. Obviously the thinking from Chase was that he probably wanted to keep the main characters in the plot etc so they never got caught. Only Pauly did that short stint in the jail.
We saw a few FBI attempts to nail some of the characters, the listening device, the female undercover and numerous rats yet never did the main core of characters from NJ get caught and convicted. In this case it wasn't all that realistic, Maltisanti was a real sloppy criminal leaving evidence all over the place, would of loved to see him facing life, I think he would of flipped which would of been a great storyline!

Opinions on this?
