''Oz'' is a [[Long Runners|long-running]], critically-acclaimed one hour drama that follows the daily lives of the inmates and staff of the Oswald State Correctional Facility, nicknamed Oz. Inmates are divided between the main prison (Genpop) and "Em City", a unit with more perks and freedom for the prisoners, but more surveillance.
Line 15 ⟶ 13:
When first released, the powerful first 15 minutes (featuring Beecher's entry into prison) forever branded ''Oz'' as "the show with prison-rape". However, the show is more complex, attempting to tackle questions of the nature and origin of violence and criminality, but continually refusing to provide any easy answers. Every character on the show is essentially morally ambiguous, with the "good" characters of the show sometimes committing despicable deeds while the "monsters" sometimes act rather humanely. The show also examined the issue of prisoner's rights and the effectiveness of the American prison system, which the show depicts as inherently corrupt.
