This is very good article on the matter, sorry if it has been posted already. It's about Peppe Pesce the leader of one of the most powerful Calabrian mafia clans handing himself in. What I don't understand is that how are they so cool with jail? he acted as if it was nothing and also said "He would hurry up" kind of implying he will be getting out sooner than expected. I don't know how good the Italian Judicial system is (I know it's not great) but apparently, so I've heard, once the mobsters are sentenced, some of them get released really early and the public simply doesn't know about it. In essence they end up only serving a smaller percentage of the years they are handed down. Also has anyone taken the place of Oppedisano, if nobody knows a name, is it likely somebody has? Also how to mobsters in Italy live in prison, do they sort of live a "Good life" even in prison?
