http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/index.html Go there, I believe it will only be up until sunday or whenever the next people in the news profile occurs. Some decent pictures in the Gallery, and for those who missed the program at 20:30pm last sunday, there is a preview video that nutshells it.

Do you guys respect Gotti? I am not familiar with him and his empire, so I am indifferent about him.
Do you think of him as a bad guy or an influential leader?

I dont respect his business. He was a drug trafficker, a murderer, and a hijacker. But, his demeanor from 1992 until this day has been more than respectable. In his own personal hellhole in Marion, Illinois, at the federal penitentiary, he's been in lock-down for 22 hours a day. In fact, his stay at Marion has been the longest of any prisoner in its 30 year history, and once was the tightest security facility in the entire country. The Supermax in Florence, Colorada now bears that honor. At Marion, inmates are not permitted physical contact (Gotti never touched his family until he finally fell ill of cancer in 1998 and was given slightly less restrictive visitation rights at the Medical Prison in Missouri), and all conversations on the phone are electronically recorded. This was to ensure he did not run his family from prison, although he did find a special, evasive type of lingo that he shared with acting boss Peter Gotti. Furthermore, inmates are not allowed any activities, and the two-hours per day of recreation are spent in a small prison yard, where Gotti was badly beaten in 1996 over an altercation with another prisoner. Since September 2000, he's been at the Missouri Medical Prison in solitary confinement, as was the case at Marion, and has not cracked under the extreme pressure of solitude and isolation. In fact, Marion openly violates Amnesty International guidelines regarding the treatment of confined human beings. It operates at a 5.5 level today, but was 6.0 when Gotti entered its walls nine years ago.
