Episode Summary

In the experimental unit of Oswald State Penitentiary, there are a diverse group of inmates who have their own groups. Although there is no one leader, after Kareem Said (who is a Muslim author that preaches non-violence, tolerance, and of all things abstinence) arrives to Oz, a Mafia inmate begins ticking off everyone, which ends up being his downfall.
