La Squadra Jail Headcanons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/!\Trigger warning/!\ mention of SA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Those headcanons are set in an alternative story where instead of getting killed while trying to capture Trish, they get caught by the police and are sent to jail. They've all been sentenced to life without parole and put in different prisons all over Italy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reputation: The whole prison's Boogeyman. He's feared in his block, and the subject of spooky rumors in the others. Even guardians are uncomfortable around him, and none of them wants to stay up close to his cell. When he goes in the cafeteria, most inmates avoid sitting near him, and that's about the same story in the yard.
Visits: None, he has no family since his cousin's death, and no friends apart from La Squadra. And honestly it's better off this way for him. He is too ashamed of his choices of life that led him to this situation, and he would rather just remain alone and serve his sentence in peace.
Behavior: Although everyone is scared and humbled by him, he's never hurt anyone nor broken a single rule. He only speaks when necessary, like when people ask him question and he's reluctant to answer but still does, with brief, soulless phrases. His behavior is due to his quiet depression since the separation from La Squadra. Now he barely feels anything else than grief and shame.
Reputation: His block views him as a sort of a black & white mafia movie's character, which is a tool to either fantasize or ridicule him. No one knows his real age, and that's mainly what people talk about in the end.
Visits: None, his only remaining family is Pesci and he has no friend close enough to come visit him in jail. He pretends he doesn't give a damn about visits and seeing people other than other prisoners, but in reality he's never felt lonelier and it weighs on his mind constantly. One night he's dreamt of his deceased mother in the parlor in front of him, soothing him like she used to when she was alive. He woke up in tears, and even though he concealed them, he remained mute for the whole day.
Behavior: Cold, distant, haughty and dignified. He breaks no rule but shows clear scorn towards the guards and ''depictable criminals'' (rapists, thieves, regular thugs gone too far ect...). He makes no friends but is careful to get respected. He refuses to elaborate on his past and dives himself in memories of La Squadra during bedtime. He slapped a younger criminal who disrespected him, and later in the week the same guy tried to knife him in the yard. Luckily Prosciutto managed to throw him off and the young man was put in solitary.
Reputation: The block's crybaby. Every block has a pussy white boy, and Pesci is him in that one. He's the push-over inmates vent their boredom on, and use for illicit/secret pass.
Visits: Just like Prosciutto, he's got no family or friends able to come over. But unlike Aniki, he's more open about it. Not that he's got anyone to talk to about it, it's just that he can't hold back his tears. The fact that the others shamelessly mock him doesn't help...
Behavior: Pesci is the bullied weakling who breaks no rule except when he does the dirty job for stronger inmates, like sharing random infos. The only time he refused to give his money to a bully, he got strangled against the wall and if it wasn't for the guard who broke in, poor Pesci would've passed out.
Reputation: The jokester and midly shady guy. He's laid-back but everyone knows he won't hesitate a second to pick up a fight if needed, even with guards. Some inmates ( the low thugs) appreciate him and the rest (the older and once higher-ranked criminals) despise him. The guards can't decide whether they're afraid or tired of his shenanigans.
Visits: Only his sister comes over once in a while, when she's got nothing else to do. She knew about her brother's job and she's killed a handful of people herself, in another gang. But she, unlike him, hasn't been caught and she teases him about it. After a few months the two haven't had anything to say to each other, so the time between visits increased till she didn't come anymore.
Behavior: Guards hate him for a reason. He's picked up many fight, has won the majority of them by seriously injuring other inmates. I think he's done more solitary than regular prison by the way. He hid handmade knives and has stabbed people, inmates or guards, more than once. He got punched and almost murdered too, but he doesn't learn.
Reputation: A narcissist doll who's either laughed or simped at. He's got the reputation to have a sharp tongue, and to accept ''favors'' for weapons and money. Let's say it, he's sexualized himself for better life conditions. But Man in the mirror helps him cope and protect himself.
Visits: His brother visits him once in a while, mostly on special occasions, when he had a daughter for instance. He came with the newborn, and Illuso nearly cried, because his brother gets to have a family life in the outside world he'll never walk free in anymore. His brother tried to consolate him, but seeing it didn't work, he put some distance and came more rarely, to leave him space.
Behavior: He's arrogant towards everyone, and bonds with nobody (like the rest of La Squadra). He breaks no rule, except when he bribes other inmates and even a few corrupted guards with his body in exchange for free calls outside and money. A prisoner convicted for SA tried to grope his ass in the yard, but Illuso caught him thanks to Man in the Mirror and slapped him hard. The whole block witnessed it, and wisely decided to leave Illuso alone from now on.
Reputation: Blue-haired rage ball. Wait that's not a reputation, that's what he is...well he didn't even have time to get one given that he's always sent to solitary >_<
Visits: He's not allowed to have visits due to his uncivil behavior, but even if he was, his family holds a grudge against him since he joined the mafia. They didn't give him away thanks of his morbid menaces towards them, but they've quit talking to him and inviting him to family meetings. Therefore, Ghiaccio is lonelier than ever.
Behavior: As mentioned before, Ghiaccio can't contain his anger for shit. Right from the first day, he raged against rules he found stupid and when a guard nearby called him out, Ghiaccio gave him a headbutt. First solitary. Then once he got out, he lasted two days before he beat up another inmate. And it went on and on...
Reputation: FREAKY F.R.E.A.K. Rumors goes that he's there for seggsual offense (not true, but we gotta admit he could've been) and he's scorned by everyone except those convicted for SA. Melone gets funny looks for his unusual appearance and for licking his lips everytime a younger inmate approaches. His former roommate requested (begged) to set up in an individual cell.
Visits: Once his father learnt about his son's arrest, he came over, to understand. But as the discussion went by, he understood that Melone was too far gone and didn't even feel remorse. Therefore he never came back and mourned the loss of his once cherished son, leaving Melone serving his sentence.
Later on, Melone would understand what he's lost, and in the privacy of his now individual cell, he wept like a child. His father was the last person he had, with La Squadra.
Behavior: All things considered, he's pretty easy to deal with, for a perverted murderer. He makes lewd remarks when a guard grabs his arms, but overall problems mostly come from other prisoners trying to stab Melone in the yard.
Reputation: He blends in pretty well, doesn't get in trouble, obeys the guards and is respected by other prisoners. The only talks about him are wonders about his hair and where the hell his hypothetical gel comes from.
Visits: His grandmother visited him every week before she died of old age. They talked about family life and how she hoped God would forgive him. She was the only person, along with Gelato, whom Sorbet shows emotions to. When she died, Sorbet didn't cry, but became more silent, more introverted, and began to see her in his dreams.
Behavior: As I said before, he copes by staying silent and following the rules. But when his grandmother died, he became colder and even began to scare other inmates. Instead of making relations, he carves her name and Gelato's on his cell's walls, and trembles.
Reputation: His block sees him as a kind of Crazy Black Widow. He talks only when necessary and simply ignores questions. The moment he understood he'll never see Sorbet again, the pain was too much to handle and now he cannot feel anything else than a dull sorrow.
Visits: Technically he has a family, but they all rejected him when they discovered his homosexuality. So Gelato takes refuge in his own thoughts, often talking to himself or to an imaginary Sorbet.
Behavior: His grief got so bad that he was diagnosed with depression and got carceral mental help. But the many seances and medications didn't help. The only medicine that could work would beSorbet, and now he's away from him. Gelato doesn't even know where and it drives him crazy.
