In Pelliquin Bay (I don't know the proper spelling) Prison they have something called "the shoe." It is a cell block cut off from the rest of the prison where leaders of gangs are held. They are held there so that they can't order murders and the like. Well they still do of course. The Prison has a task force assigned just to that unit to check incoming and outgoing mail, visitors etc.. The thing I found interesting is that a gang leader sent a love letter to his wife or girlfriend. If you take every third (or maybe fourth) letter in the document it spells out the names of people who he wants killed.

There is not and never will be a doubt in my mind that mob bosses and gang leaders continue to run and make decisions for their crew in prison. All the prison does is make it HARDER for them to do it, but will never eliminate it.

Obviously someone will take his place though.
