Oz

In the “Emerald City” experimental unit of the Oswald State Penitentiary, we meet some of the diverse inmates who live within a pecking order of Gangbangers, Latinos, Muslims, Westies, Aryans and Wiseguys. No clear-cut leader emerges – with the possible exception of Kareem Said (Eamonn Walker), a Muslim author who preaches non-violence and abstinence. Said’s arrival doesn’t prevent a short fused Mafia inmate named Dino Ortolani (Jon Seda) from ticking off just about everybody – a habit that ends up burning him.
