	Oz (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Latinos in Oz are mostly of Puerto Rican ancestry.
		Oz took advantage of the freedoms of cable television to show material that would be too extreme for traditional broadcast networks: coarse language, drug use, violence, male frontal nudity, homosexuality, rape, and ethnic and religious conflict.
		Many of the actors from Oz have appeared as guest stars or stars in the various Law and Order series, as well as Homicide: Life on the Street.

	Amazon.com: Oz - The Complete First Season (1997): DVD
		Everyone is represented in Oz: the Aryans, the Italians, the Muslims, the Gangstas, the Latinos...pretty much every facet of a prison population.
		If you've never seen Oz, you should definitely check it out and see for yourself one of the best and underrated shows on HBO and maybe even TV history, but do be warned, this series is not for the squeamish.
		The yellow brick road of the Oswald Correctional Facility (affectionately known as "Oz" among the inmates) leads to "Emerald City," an antiseptic cellblock of cement and glass overseen by prison-reform advocate Tim McManus (Terry Kinney).

		The Latinos and Sicilians form an alliance that proves deadly after Augustus returns to Oz after recuperating.

		The select group of prisoners chosen to be a part of this experiment came from all backgrounds, creating an explosive mix of Latinos, Muslims, bikers, Aryans, homeboys, gays, Irish, and Italians who had to redefine their prison strategies and find different ways to survive in this new and unfamiliar world.

		Augustus Hill (Harold Perrineau — The Matrix Revolutions) is prisoner number 95H522.

	Latino Fall TV Schedule
		Instead of playing with the numbers and making excuses, most agreed that the Latino presence on television (especially prime time) is not representative of the actual population of Latinos in the United States.
		Their English language show OZ has the unfortunate premise of being a prison show, but all of the Latino actors do play Latino characters, and their presence extends beyond the criminals to include a psychologist and a doctor.
		Dora the Explorer features a Latina heroine who finds ways to troubleshoot her adventure every week with the help of her pre-school audience.
