That celebrity has translated into power inside the walls. Other inmates, even murderers, defer to Abruzzi in prison-related business. While the correctional officers enforce the rules, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that John Abruzzi runs the prison. Abruzzi was finally convicted of two counts of murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder after decades of eluding punishment from Illinois district attorneys.

Otto Fibonacci provided eyewitness testimony at Abruzzi’s trial, which convinced the jury to convict Abruzzi of rubbing out two rival gangsters. Abruzzi subsequently put a hit out on Fibonacci, forcing Fibonacci to enter the Witness Protection Program. Abruzzi has been overheard expressing how desperately he would like to know Fibonacci’s whereabouts. Inmate has logged visits from Philip Falzone, a “business associate ” Anthony Smallhouse, another “business associate ” Sylvia Abruzzi, his wife Nicole Abruzzi, his daughter John Abruzzi, Jr. his son and Brian Knowlton, business manager.

Theodore Bagwell (or T-Bag, as he calls himself) is one of the most dangerous predators at Fox River Penitentiary. Not surprisingly, he has barely known a life outside of confinement. After multiple citations for vandalism and cruelty to animals, a ten year-old Bagwell was caught attempting to burn down the home of his fourth grade teacher and was sent to juvenile hall.

It was there that Bagwell was first introduced to the Alliance for Purity, a white supremacist gang. As Bagwell grew up, his crimes grew more serious. They included assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. For these crimes, Bagwell was sentenced to Alabama’s Donaldson maximum security prison where he immediately assumed a leadership position in the Alliance for Purity.
