For decades no law enforcement program has been as cloaked in controversy and mystery as the Federal Witness Protection Program. Now, for the first time, Gerald Shur, the man credited with the creation of WITSEC, teams with acclaimed investigative journalist Pete Earley to tell the inside story of turncoats, crime-fighters, killers, and ordinary human beings caught up in a life-and-death game of deception in the name of justice. WITSEC Inside the Federal Witness Protection Program When the government was losing the war on organized crime in the early 1960s, Gerald Shur, a young attorney in the Justice Department’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, urged the department to entice mobsters into breaking their code of silence with promises of protection and relocation. But as high-ranking mob figures came into the program, Shur discovered that keeping his witnesses alive in the face of death threats involved more than eradicating old identities and creating new ones. It also meant cutting off families from their pasts and giving new identities to wives and children, as well as to mob girlfriends and mistresses. It meant getting late-night phone calls from protected witnesses unable to cope with their new lives. It meant arranging funerals, providing financial support, and in one instance even helping a mobster’s wife get breast implants. And all too often it meant odds that a protected witness would return to what he knew best–crime. In this book Shur gives a you-are-there account of infamous witnesses, from Joseph Valachi to “Sammy the Bull” Gravano to “Fat Vinnie” Teresa, of the lengths the program goes to to keep its charges safe, and of cases that went very wrong and occasionally even protected those who went on to kill again. He describes the agony endured by innocent people who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up in a program tailored to criminals. And along with Shur’s war stories, WITSEC draws on the haunting words of one mob wife, who vividly describes her life of lies, secrecy, and loss inside the program. A powerful true story of the inner workings of one of the most effective and controversial weapons in the war against organized crime and the inner workings of organized crime itself–and more recently against Colombian drug dealers, outlaw motorcycle gang members, white-collar con men, and international terrorists–this book takes us into a tense, dangerous twilight world carefully hidden in plain sight: where the family living next door might not be who they say they are. . .

Excerpt from Oversight of the Department of Justice Witness Security Program: Hearing Before the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate One Hundred Fourth Congress Second Session, on the Effectiveness of the Department of Justice Witness Security Program Created Under the Organized Crime Act of 1970 to Protect Witnesses Wh The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:10 a.m., in room Sh-216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. Orrin G. Hatch (chairman of the committee), presiding. Also present: Senators DeWine and Biden. Opening Statement of Hon. Orrin G. Hatch, A U.S. Senator From The State of Utah The Chairman. The committee meets this morning to hear testimony assessing the effectiveness of the Department of Justice's administration of the Witness Security Program, which is more commonly referred to as the Witness Protection Program. This hearing follows what was a several-week committee investigation into the program. The Witness Security Program was created by Congress under the Organized Crime Act of 1970. It was designed to protect witnesses who testify against traditional organized crime figures. More recently, the purview of the program was expanded to include major narcotics organizations, prison gangs, and violent street gangs. The goal of this program was to allow witnesses to come forward with information against major leaders of organized crime without fear of retaliation. Since the program's inception, close to 15,000 people have been placed in the program. Sixty-six hundred are protected witnesses while the remainder are dependents or close family members. Within the last 5 years, approximately 200 new witnesses have been admitted into the program each year, on average. In 1978, protection for the witnesses and their families cost an estimated $14 million. However, the program has grown by leaps and bounds. In 1995 alone, the U.S. Marshals Service spent $53 million for the protection of witnesses. This figure does not include expenditures by the Office of Enforcement of Operations, Bureau of Prisons, or other related agencies. Indeed, no one with the Department of Justice can tell us exactly how much the program costs today. Over the past 20 years, the Witness Security Program has had its successes. Prosecuting John Gotti and other organized crime figures may not have been possible without this program, and I applaud its successes. I clearly recognize the need for the program.
