I want to see him take on some young thug that's tattooed from head to toe but it doesn't sound like they allow him to mingle with that group... #berniemadoff

pg. 11
Rather than spending time on private planes or his yachts, or residing in his luxury apartment in Manhattan, his Montauk, Long Island and Palm Beach mansions, or his property in Cap d’Antibe, France, Madoff now shares a cell with a 21-year old inmate convicted of drug crimes. Madoff sleeps in the lower bunk and he eats pizza cooked by an inmate convicted of child molestation. His recreation consists of walking around the prison track at night. He now spends time with former Colombo crime family boss Carmine Persico and Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted of spying for Israel. Most of his fellow inmates are in prison for drug crimes or sex crimes and Madoff will spend the rest of his life in prison with them. #berniemadoff

Eating pizza, hanging out with "junior." One would imagine that Mr. Persico slices his garlic wafer-thin.
"Current leadership
As of November 2007, Carmine "Junior" Persico still remains the reputed Boss of the Colombo crime family, with current street boss Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli, and former Persico rival, John "Sonny" Franzese as the Underboss, but due to parole violations, Andrew "Andy Mush" Persico is the acting Underboss instead of Franzese, with the Aloi brothers, Vincenzo and Benedetto, as alleged Consigliere.
Carmine Persico has reportedly been running the Colombo crime family since the 1970s, days after Joseph Colombo was shot, and Persico’s name has been mentioned in dozens of murder-cases since then, as he has been in charge of the Colombos for over three decades. During his 50-year-membership with the Colombo crime family, he has survived three internal wars, his life sentence, and allegedly been shot more than 20 times. Persico is also only one of three defendants from the Mafia Commission Trial who received 100 years and is still alive."
