Goodfellas prison scene

Can someone please explain to me what that hell is going on in this scene?

I understand that prison is probably easier for gangsters with connections, but an entire room to themselves, with a full kitchen? With wine, lobsters, steak etc?

when you have the entire prison in your pocket its basically like a vacation you choose to take to get the feds off your back,

read about el chapo, he built a prison so he could avoid being assassinated

Italians all lie about everything that they've ever done

It's bullshit. Michael Franzese who was a real mobster and mentioned in the movie said this scene was a complete fabrication. John Gotti was the boss and had to pay the Aryan Brotherhood for protection. He got beaten when he couldn't pay any more. Also Henry was an associate and not a made guy. He never got special treatment in prison or at clubs.

Indeed. This scenario could have been authenticated by any of the guards who worked in the prison. They'd know if these guys had extra special treatment and privileges or not.

After watching The Sopranos, my question is how did Henry and Jimmy, as non-Italians, get so high up in the organization and cozy with upper leadership?

Henry was half-Italian, so that helped me a lot. Jimmy, despite being Irish, made a lot of money for them, so they LOTs of things slide when it came to him.

Pretty much this. As much as I like Goodfellas more than Casino, at least the source material for Casino actually happened like Lefty described it. Henry Hill was a huge liar.

pablo escobar had a prispn built for himself where he and his goons had sega genesis, the best wine, prostitutes, top of the line tv, the works, its not as uncommon as you think, also henry hill happened to have landed in a good spot, most of the stuff was for jimmy and the italian guy, while henry mooches off

Henry worked for them as a kid so they could trust him. If you're not a total retard, psycho or junkie you can climb the ladder. Jimmy knew how to make money and always gave Paulie a piece so he was protected. In the book Jimmy was so ruthless and violent that even made guys feared him.

There is a minimum security prison where Jews go. So while the goyim do real hard time , the Jews are on a kind of long term vacation , some of them even get to leave on the weekends.

I love The Sopranos but a lot of the stuff that happened in the show was bullshit. It is almost a bottom tier representation of La Cosa Nostra.

Here is an example of the low security Jewish prison.

>what that hell is going on in this scene?
You see Paulie did the prep work, he had a wonderful system for doing the garlic, he used a RAZOR to slice it so thin it would liquify in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.

anything immediately come to mind?

Holy shit. Sega Genesis? That's cool. What do you think Pablo's favorite game was?

Ecco the Dolphin, surely

>but an entire room to themselves, with a full kitchen? With wine, lobsters, steak etc?
yes thats white privilege

Most of Goodfellas is a fabrication or greatly exaggerated, except the ruthless killing.

that ecco dolphin game and vector man

The most obvious being a mob boss talking to a psychiatrist. Also the way the crew talks to the boss it doesn’t happen that way irl. Franzese went over this stuff.

True. Tbf the DiMeo family were considered low class hicks by every other family.

Beavis and Butthead, runner up Theme Park

his son recounted in an interview about how they always two played a "street fighting game where you went went left to right" so probably streets of rage

Based , kino taste.
