...Henry F. Mosiello, 37, a debonair, pipe-smoking mechanical engineer from Union City, N.J., has drawn up incorporation papers and hopes to have New Vista Broadcasting Inc. in business by the end of January. Mosiello's corporate headquarters is in a dilapidated, 19th century building in Trenton, where the state of New Jersey required him to move in 1971. "The rent is right," says Mosiello, as he sits in his modest "office" -cell 105, 3 Tier, 6 Wing Right, Trenton State Prison. While other cons roam idly through 6 Wing, struggling with the numbing daily routine inside what they...
...Mosiello is serving a mandatory life sentence for the felony murder of a Weehawken waterfront tavern owner whom police found gagged, trussed and stuffed in the trunk of a '69 Cadillac. "It was obviously a professional job, a contract hit," claims the soft-spoken Mosiello, who had no previous arrests. "I did not do it." But the state said he did, a jury agreed, and Mosiello, the owner of a successful racing-engine design shop, had to begin a new career behind a 20-ft. wall in Trenton...
...measures, Hank Mosiello (B.S., New York University; M.S., Columbia) is no ordinary con. Within a month of his arrival, he enrolled in a correspondence law course, then organized Trenton's other jailhouse lawyers into Inmate Legal Associates, the first paralegal guild in a U.S. prison. The owner of about 600 lawbooks, Mosiello is sufficiently well-versed in their contents to have freelanced some 50 briefs for private attorneys at $200 each. His legal specialties are corporate law and medical-malpractice suits...
...Prison has been beneficial for me," he says. "I've learned more here than in any other period of my life." To share his unique view of prison life, Mosiello teamed up with the news director of radio station WHWH in nearby Princeton to produce From the Wall, a weekly 15-minute interview with inmates, guards and prison officials. The show has won an award from the Association of American Trial Lawyers. Encouraged by his success, Mosiello recently embarked on his most ambitious prison enterprise: New Vista, a nonprofit broadcasting corporation that will market radio talk shows on crime...
...Mosiello has abandoned trying to prove his innocence while still in prison. Instead, he hopes that the Governor will find his unusual accomplishments a mark of rehabilitation and cut his life sentence to 25 years, thus making him immediately eligible for parole. Deep into the night, residents along the catwalk of 3 Tier can hear Mosiello working away at an IBM Selectric in his book-packed 5-ft. by 7-ft. cell. Like any other ambitious executive, he hopes his overtime labors are a signal to his superiors that he is ready for upward, to say nothing of outward mobility...
