In this VladTV interview, former Bonanno associate Gene Borrello reflects on serving 13 years in prison and describes the inmate politics he encountered in New York State custody. Borrello explains how his time at Rikers Island shaped his views on sex offenders, then details what happened after he was transferred to Groveland, where he says convicted offenders were allowed in general population. He recalls unknowingly befriending an Italian inmate from Brooklyn, Angelo, before other prisoners warned him the man was a child molester—often referred to online as a “PDF file.” After checking the inmate’s paperwork, Borrello says he and others, including Frankie and Pasquale, attacked him, leading to time in the hole and his removal from the facility. The conversation offers a raw look at prison reputation, paperwork checks, and mob codes behind bars.
