Today on the show, I first talk to Lou about his early life of crime and the autodidactic education he gave himself in prison. After his stint in jail, Lou went on to become an author and the host of a Discovery Channel documentary series called Inside the Gangsters’ Code. There, he discovered a love for reading and writing which set off a personal transformation that led to him leaving the mafia. Eventually, the law caught up with him and he ended up in prison. Lou Ferrante was a mobster who worked for the Gambino crime family and made a trade out of hijacking trucks loaded with expensive goods.
