Chuck Zito discussed his time behind bars alongside infamous mob boss John Gotti and the sequence of events that led to his lengthy incarceration. Zito, a former Hells Angels leader, shared details about nearly being housed in the same cell as Gotti at MCI. Authorities, wary of their possible criminal collaboration, separated them. Despite not being cellmates, Zito attended Gotti's funeral to pay his respects, emphasizing the rapport they shared.
Zito also revealed insights into the judicial pressure he faced. Offered a lighter sentence of one year for cooperation, Zito rejected the plea deal, maintaining his innocence over his involvement in a phone call conspiracy. His decision resulted in a harsh 10-year sentence, of which he served six years across 19 different facilities. Zito highlighted the culture of silence within Hells Angels, though he acknowledged that some members did cooperate with authorities, contributing to his conviction.
