Mobster Marrapese gets out of prison tomorrow

Jailed mobster Frank L. "Bobo" Marrapese Jr., imprisoned more than two decades for murder, will be released from the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston to a home confinement program with an electronic bracelet after 1 p.m. tomorrow, according to Tracey Poole, Department of Corrections spokeswoman.

He has employment, a requirement of the program, but corrections would not disclose what or where.

Marrapese, 65, had been scheduled for release last month but because of media attention, his then-expected place of work had second thoughts about employing him, Poole said previously.

Marrapese will leave the Pinel Building at the ACI.

"But O’Donnell, as well as federal and local law-enforcement officials, plan to keep a watchful eye on him after he moves back to his home at 104 Elwyn St., in Cranston, and at his job at Anthony’s Restaurant on Killingly Street, in Johnston."

Looks like the media is doing a good job of keeping things hush hush this time, LOL

Denise, when your clicked on "read more" about Marrapese, it brought you to the original April 12 report about him going to Anthony's Restaurant in Johnston. That's what caused this month delay, if you read it correctly.

Now we all have to guess which Italian restaurant in RI out of 220 to choose from that this gangster's possibly working at...or ROC construction with Rocky Izzo.
