He beat a life sentence.

At 100 years old, mobster John (Sonny) Franzese — the oldest inmate in the federal prison system — was released Friday from a Massachusetts lockup.

The former Colombo underboss finally saw the light of day after wrapping up an eight-year prison term at the Federal Medical Center in in Devens, Mass. He had been convicted of shaking down the Hustler and Penthouse strip clubs in Manhattan.

Franzese, who turned 100 this past February, arrived at his daughter’s Greenpoint, Brooklyn, home, where he plans to spend some time with his family. He was all smiles when a Daily News reporter saw him get out of a white Range Rover that had made the trip to Brooklyn.

You know how these mobsters are. In two or three years, he'll be back in jail.

So this guy was 92 years old when he was incarcerated. And stayed eight years.

My guess is that he was costing the Feds too much money for healthcare so they cut him loose. But I am a cynic.
