A Mafia lifer got the maximum
'110 cum laude' score in his degree Tuesday after presenting a
thesis on survival strategies for life imprisonment, his teacher
said Wednesday.
Salvatore Curatolo, 65, serving life for crimes linked to the
Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta mafia, Italy's richest and most
powerful organised crime group, "recounted himself putting the
searchlight on what enabled him to survive, in a psychological
and physical sense, a detention consisting of 28 straight years
of incarceration including 12 under the (tough anti-mafia) 41
bis (regime)," said Professor Charlie Barnao, a sociology
lecturer at Catanzaro's 'Magna Graecia' University and delegate
to the dean of the local university for prison inmates.
