The notorious mob boss was released five years early from an Arizona prison on September 18, and will remain on federal parole for life, a spokesperson for the Division of Offender Operations, Special Services Unit confirmed to Radar:
The 72-year-old was serving a 20-year sentence for buying and selling the drug Ecstasy after a 2002 conviction.
In the early 90s, he was notorious for turning on his mafia family and helping the government bring down his former boss, John Gotti, in exchange for a generous plea deal.
As part of the deal, Gravano confessed to murdering a shocking 19 people including his own brother-in-law! His testimony helped put at least 36 mobsters behind bars.
He entered the witness protection program, but left in 1997 to release a tell-all about his life of crime.
Gravanos daughter, Mob Wives star Karen Gravano, 45, may have hinted about the early release, as she posted the cryptic message only a matter of time on August 12.
Earlier this week, she claimed she was in Arizona perhaps visiting her famous father.

I don’t think there’s much of a mafia left to bother with Sammy. Back in the old days, he wouldn’t have survived even in prison.
He is pretty stupid to get himself back in prison for drugs after a get out of jail free card for killing 19 people.

For those interested, here is a pretty good 45-minute documentary about Sammy the Bull. It covers his life from his youth in Brooklyn all the way through his 2002 20-year sentencing for his ecstacy operation in Arizona.

Looking from a mobsters point of view? The boss said the had it coming, so they had it coming.
Better to be the hitter than the hitee.

He snitched on the mob and now being released from prison? Sounds like he just got the death sentence.

Do mobsters still get their own chefs and menus in prison?

He left the witness protection program 20 years ago, so if he ain't been hit yet it's unlikely he will in the future.......
To: Mark
They can hit you in prison.
I read a book about the Mob and the mobsters all said that mobsters exaggerate about the # of people they whack....except the mobster who said it of course.
