VINNIE GORGEOUS' OPTIONS: NEEDLE OR HELL ON EARTH

IN OTHER Italian-American news... forget the haircuts, fine-tailored suits and top-notch meals. For Bonanno crime boss Vincent "Vinnie Gorgeous" Basciano the options aren't great. The New York mobster was convicted of a litany of murder and racketeering charges. So, because they were federal crimes the metrosexual mafioso faces either the death penalty or a loving death: Super Max. Located in Colorado, it is America's most secure--and brutal--prison
Deep within its concrete walls, there is a place reserved for the most notorious inmates in the federal penal system - Cell Block H.
Former U.S. Bureau of Prisons warden Joe Gunja told the New York Daily News: "It's the most secure, most controlled, most confined unit in the prison.
It's designed for the worst of the worst inmates."
Basciano's lawyers will push for the prison instead of the needle for his role in ordering the hit on mob associate Randolph Pizzolo. Sources say it was the arch-criminals hit list--including a judge, a prosecutor and a bushel of mob canaries--that put hiom within sight of the needle. H-Unit's residents are largely terrorists like Ramzi Yousef.
According to the Daily News, Vinnie would be locked down 23 hours a day, shackled and escorted by at least three guards when he leaves the cell. He would have no physical contact with other inmates or visitors and severely limited communications with immediate family.
Great times coming Vinnie.
