There are exceptions, such as the "ultra-maximum security" prison in Marion, IL, that John Gotti was held in. There, the list of approved visitors is very restricted, and all visits must occur face-to-face across a mesh screen--and the conversations are recorded. That's one of the reasons why Gotti lost control of his family.
Why don't they put all maffia bosses in prisons like the one you described? They know those Don's still hold a high risk, even in prison and yet they don't really prevent them from giving orders from within prison.
