I won't pretend that I am extensively versed on this topic, but it would seem to me that mafia in prison are subjected to much of the same crap as anyone else. Where they once probably had a lot of influence, now they do not have as much. The prison gangs rule prison as they invariably are not ever getting out and they have significant numbers incarcerated for life.
While I don't think mafiosi have the kind of pull in prison portrayed in
Goodfellas, I don't think they are the easy targets some claim they are or just like any other inmate. Most of the examples of mobsters being attacked that I've read about on these forums are not easy to substantiate. And the ones that are are few and far between. Especially when you consider how many mobsters in how many prisons there are.
