Features: DVD, Commentary
From the Oscar and Emmy winning team of Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Diner) and Tom Fontana, OZ is set deep inside the Oswald Maximum Security Prison, in an experimental unit known as Emerald City. Em City focuses on prisoner rehabilitation over public retribution. There's one set of rules from the outside looking in, and another once you're inside. Every group--Muslims, Latinos, Italians, Aryans--sticks close to their mutual friends and terrorizes their mutual enemies. OZ is a wake-up call.

Editor's Note
Life on the inside gets even rougher for the inmates in the experimental prison system known as OZ during the second season of the HBO series. Regulars who have yet to be murdered return in these eight episodes which are highlighted by an Emmy-winning guest appearance by true life former inmate Charles Dutton and a final scene that left fans with many interpretations. Nick Gomez (LAWS OF GRAVITY), Mary Harron (AMERICAN PSYCHO) and actress Kathy Bates are among the directors of the second season's installments.
