The speculation that gravano didn't have problems in jail comes from first hand knowledge? Also maybe should do a little home work before you hand craft one of these claimless posts. An ex - guard from Marion has a YouTube channel and he talks about all the inmates and corruption that went on in the jail. Its mostly about A.B's and crucid guards but he did a show on Gotti. He said gotti was hugely respected in prison and the inmates loved him. He was the jails local celebrity. The inmates had so much respect for gotti, when he was dieing and they guards refused to bring to an outside hospital and were leaving him to suffer. The inmates hunger striked and rioted and wrecked the jail until he was brought to an outside hospital. Gotti getting jumped and beating up is all slander. Gotti love him or hate him made his bed and layed in it. His flash and bravado was no good obviously for a front man of a secret society. But you better believe his classic "steeple hanging out of his ass" line he ment it. He was no punk.

Gravano did 5 years in a federal jail where informants were kept.
