Vincent “Vinny Gorgeous” Basciano the former boss of the Bonanno crime family has been doing time since 2011 in a Colorado Supermax prison but good behavior has him on the move. The 55 year old mobster was convicted of ordering a mafia hit among other charges and was suspected of putting together a hit list which included Brooklyn Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis. The Supermax facility located in Florence, Colorado is one of the most infamous prisons in the nation.

Basciano was housed in the notorious “H-Block” section of the prison which featured 23 hour a day confinement to his small cell. According to sources a “step down program” allowed Vinny Gorgeous the chance to transfer to a less restrictive prison for good behavior. Bureau of Prisons website documents state that “Inmates who continue to demonstrate positive institutional adjustment for 12 months are referred for transfer to another facility,”
“Florence, Colorado Supermax Prison“
Some of the famous names housed at the notorious prison during Basciano’s stay included Ted “Unabomber” Kaczynski, Richard Reid the shoe bomber, and Zacarias Moussaoui known as the 20th 9/11 hijacker. Basciano will be moving to a Florence High Security prison which houses approx 700 inmates and features outdoor fields for soccer and softball and area’s of worship. The former New York mafia boss will now be able to mingle with other inmates and room with a cell mate along with yard time playing sports.
Serving two life sentences Basciano won’t walk out of prison alive so moving to a less restrictive environment is about as good as it gets. The date of his actual transfer has not been made public according to reports.
I am not exactly sure one can say he is “catching a break” when guy is doing a couple life sentences behind bars but definitely seems like improved conditions.
Definitely improved conditions. Smart on his part knowing he has life sentences to get good behavior so he can atleast mingle with other inmates and get some kind of exercise.
So who did he tell on? How do you think he got out. Gotti didn’t. Ted Bundy isn’t and those other jokers you names certaintly never will.
He was able to take advantage of a good behavior program to get the transfer and didn’t actually rat or anything. He is still going to be in a high security prison and i am sure not a very nice place but still an improvement over supermax conditions which are worse of the worse.
dont ever even say anything like tgat about vinny ever again because that guy has been through hell and is a real stand up guy he ended up in the wrong family. yes he is a murder so in my mind he desevers to be in prison but come on he was with terriosts there is alot worse people than vinny
dont forget when he got arrested everyone was flipping from massimo vitale to low level thugs like dom circale he refused even when the feds were pushing for the death penalty
Dont ever say anything like that about Vinny again? Lmfao
it was ridiculous he was in that prison in the first place its where they house terrorists come on yes he desvers to be in prison but that place. He really went through hell i mean last ten years have been really bad for him and his family he has been living in disgusting conditions, his wife had to move houses because the feds said he was worth 11 million problem is that vinny was a degenerate no way he has 11million assets so they have stilled not paid back the 11million and the kids are all in prison for weed dealing.
He was with the genovese family before he switched to the bonannos he knew he would get his button quicker in the bonannos i bet he thinks about that everyday if he stuck with the genovese family he might have been a soldier or maybe even a capo now not living in sub human conditions.
and the rubbish circale chats about him now is a disgrace
Couldn’t agree more on that Cicale point and the garbage that guy spouts out and its even more pathetic that he has found some ignorant tool on the web to help tout that stuff.
He has found that clown ed scarpo who thinks he is Jerry capeci even though no one read his ad covered website.
The guy makes me sick john he wrote a book about the Lufthansa heist he was two years old when the heist got done he talks about mob history of the 80s like he was there the guy was a not even a teenager when this was going on he talks about sammy gravano and how they are a like and all that rubbish and how they spoke (even though when sammy was arrested in 1990 dom was 14)
The guy is a hypocrite calling guys like arnol squtirai a pussy about how he let mikey nose father get whacked in front f him well dom you were not even alive when this happened and Arnold yes did nothing but the guy was on drugs when the hit got done and was terrified that he was going to get whacked
He always talks about how mikey nose is a disgrace how he was a joke and he killed his own wife and lived next to the thug who killed his father how he was a bully now that is true but he can’t exactly talk himself his father was a junkie rat he used to push around locals himself a guy who was a loner till vinny took him under his wing
He talks so much rubbish and he proved it to me when he said him and vinny used to vist Joe Massimo at massimos restaurant that’s when I knew he was talking out of his arse. Massino hated vinny he would not even allow him inside his restaurant because he saw him as brash he only later on 2004 made vinny acting boss because there was no one else. So massimo was hardly going to meet a low level thug I’m his restaurant who followed vinny around like a dog. He talks about George scisaisa like he was in the no he was in prison when the murder got done and he hardly even knew george.
He says how tough he is and how most mobsters are pussys and how he offered to fight other made guys but they always backed of I can say that us complete bullshit because never I heard about this till years after he flipped never mentioned this when he originally flipped
He was a loner and joke till vinny took him under his wing and vinny really cared for the kid and he stabbed him in the back. Dom says the reason he flipped was because of the massimo tapes that he was in a similar situation to gravano what rubbish sammy was being berated by gotti about things he should have not been saying (still not a reason to flip sammy was a scum bag but that’d another topic) vinny was talking to the boss of the family how did he know or even any idea that the boss massimo was wearing a wire and it was not like vinny brought it up massimo kept asking him questions and Joe was the boss he is going to answer the questions. Plus vinny was saying good things about dom. Vinny made Dom without vinny Dom would have been a low level drug dealer loner for the rest of his life bringing this kid in was his biggest mistake vinny made
Vinny felt sorry for the kid that’s why he brought him in
That guy Ed Scarpo is the biggest momo I have ever seen in the internet,, he is a reject from some mob forum
he defo doesn’t belong there , there r people doing a lot easier time that have committed a lot worse crimes, threatening to kill the federal prosecutor did him no favours at all , does he deserve to be in prison ?? Yes he does , but not that place miles from his home . Yes he ordered two murders , who were scumbags by the way , one of them threatened to murder his kids . Wot would u do ???
i have been saying that for years he does not deserve to be there sure he deserves to be in prison but come on he was with terrorists
completely agree frank was a junkie who threatened his kids he was defending them. The other guy randy he had balls but he was a big mouth so i am not surprised he got whacked he would tell everyone that he was the only killer in the family and would insult other made guys. He let that construction project collapse and he would not go to florida when asked. Though i still think whacking the kid was harsh but thats there life when they sent for randy he went he knew he was going to get whacked he even told his daughter
I read Vinny’s book and was not impressed. No fault to him, but the author was boring in my opinion. I guess after reading books about bigger gangsters I felt he was somewhat small time relatively speaking of course. I am not saying he was not powerful or rich, just when compared to others seemed less interesting. That being said, I don’t agree with him being in this prison, gangsters kill gangsters generally. I mean Perscio is responsible for hundreds of murders and he’s chillin the easy life, even plays in a prison band.
Lol playing in prison band? He spent most of his life in the can ? Chilin ? Lol ( wigger alert) easy life?
