Sonny Franzese: "I'll Serve My Full Sentence"
John "Sonny" Franzese was the embodiment of the Mafia. Always elegantly dressed, yet ready to strike at any moment. All it took was one wrong look for trouble to erupt. A brilliant businessman, he was at one point supposedly one of the highest-earning members of the Colombo family. He ultimately ended up in prison for nearly half a century for something he supposedly didn't do. He served his entire sentence and was released in 2017. He was considered one of the oldest inmates in the US.
