  Oz (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oz is the nickname for the Oswald State Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison of unknown location.
The Latinos in Oz are mostly of Puerto Rican ancestry.
Oz took advantage of the freedoms of premium cable to show material that would be too extreme for traditional American broadcast television: coarse language, drug use, violence, male frontal nudity, homosexuality, rape, and ethnic and religious conflict.

 Salon | "Oz"
HBO's first weekly drama series, "Oz" makes good use of cable; this is one show that could never, ever appear unedited on broadcast TV.
In the debut episode of "Oz," a near-riot ensues when the warden announces that, by order of the state environmental protection agency, the prison is now a smoke-free zone.
The problem is, there are only so many prison plots and character types, and "Oz" has them all, from the "Dead Man Walking" nun (Rita Moreno as psychiatrist Sister Pete) to the Linda Blair innocent behind bars (Lee Tergeson as the aforementioned hapless family man who becomes the property of his sadistic cell mate).

 Oz [TV Series] - Synopsis - Moviefone
Created by Tom Fontana and co-produced by Fontana and Barry Levinson (the same team responsible for Homicide: Life on the Street), the gritty, uncompromising cable drama series Oz was set within the walls of Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary (later rechristened Oswald State Correctional Facility), known to inmates and guards alike as "Oz".
In a similar burst of grotesque whimsy, the action took place in "Emerald City," an experimental "prison within a prison," wherein the inmates were allowed to function as a more or less autonomous community, awarded with mobility and privileges in exchange for submitting to a daily routine and a strict set of rules and guidelines.
The series boasted an enormous cast of characters on both sides of the bars.

The series is clearly winding down here (the semi-musical episode "Variety" is a curious attempt to broaden the show's creative horizons, and works surprisingly well), and the outbreaks of violence now have a rather predictable and oppressive frequency.
A third example is The Governor of the mystery state Oz exists in (Utah has been ruled out as a suspect) appears to form a liaison between the prison and the government and of course she happens to have some history with a certain womaniser who will remain blatantly obvious.
The greatest aspect of Oz is the relentless intensity of human emotion ranging from grief to love to fury.

All 16 episodes were written or cowritten by series creator Tom Fontana, and are bookended by the wisely sardonic observations of paraplegic prisoner Augustus Hill (Harold Perrineau), whose terse, philosophical ruminations about life in "Oz" give the series its literate edge.
As with all previous seasons of HBO's hard-edged prison series, the outbreaks of violence, racial tensions, emotional bleakness, and full-frontal male nudity ensure that Oz is decidedly not for the weak of heart.
The eight episodes of the first season set the style for the show: a massive cast of a vivid characters on both sides of the bars, four or five stories unleashed at a breakneck pace and framed by angry, oddball introductions, and a soaring casualty rate.
