A few words on organized Crime in Santa Lucy

Given the nature of the law in Santa Lucy and the natural macho gallantry of the culture, women are very very rarely ever put in prison.  This has given rise to the Mothers and the Sisters.  The Mothers are the ones that actually run the crime families because they control the finances.  It is through the Mothers that all the loot from protection and other crime is laundered.  Before a girl becomes a mother though she is a Sister.  The Sisters are of course involved in prostitution but they are more importantly the messengers between the Mothers and the men.  Though it happens, it is considered bad form for a man to hit a Sister.  However, Sisters are free to attack each other at will and some are fabled for their cruelty.  No one crossees the One Eyed Cat of Madonna Street.
