Domenico Strisciuglio turned to the courts to expand his entertainment options beyond watching TV
An Italian mafia boss in solitary confinement has won a legal fight to be allowed to listen to music in his cell.
Domenico Strisciuglio, 48, had been sentenced to more than 20 years under Italy’s strict prison regime for murder and other mafia-related crimes. The rules, known as Article 41-bis of the Prison Administration Act, allow the authorities to suspend certain prison regulations, with the aim of cutting inmates off completely from their criminal associates.
