    It's true about what he says about mob guys! I worked as a corrections officer for 32yrs! Mob guys take pride in how clean their cells are and how they do their chores! They take pride in how they look always clean and they take pride in the the food they cook just every aspect of life behind bars! They do their time in a productive way!

      What divides Chinatown and Little Italy? I studied Chinese martial arts and when they came to train. The cops that were part of the school would leave class for that session. Law enforcement cannot be seen with under world figures. But I get where it can be seen as different or unique. My teacher is close friends with names mentioned in this interview. So it kept me engaged and brought back memories.
