Always wondered why most of batmans foes went to Markham instead of black gate. I mean I get some dudes like joker who are insane to the point that they seem to get out of proper sentencing sue to this.

But shouldn't dudes like Penguin and Black Mask who are merely crime bosses be sent their as well.

Depending on the story, Penguin and Black Mask do just go to Blackgate. I think it depends on how they are portrayed. If Penguin is portrayed as an extreme Aviaphile, then he is usually in Arkham. But normal mafia Penguin goes to Blackgate.

This. You never used to see the BTAS incarnation of Penguin in Arkham, whereas Riddler, Scarecrow, Ivy, Joker and others were all there.
