Frank Gioia Jr., a former mobster, recounted the tense and surreal experience he faced while incarcerated with notorious Lucchese underboss Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso. In an interview, Frank unveils an alarming episode where Casso, leveraging connections with corrupt prison guards, managed to smuggle a gun into a Manhattan jail. Frank, who was grappling with looming life sentences across multiple charges, was cellmates with Casso, who was embroiled in internal Lucchese family tensions. Casso's shocking revelation of the smuggled Beretta pistol hidden in an exercise bike heightened the tension. He intended to use the weapon against rivals expected to enter the facility. Frank, though stunned, was numbed to the violent world he was entrenched in. Fortunately, their targets never appeared, averting a grim prison shootout. Frank's account sheds light on the depths of corruption and danger within the mob's operations, exemplified by Casso's brazen actions while behind bars.
