Love in prison Oz, or passion prevented

Garnering wide renown and controversy, Oz left a significant mark. This hyperrealistic and ultraviolent prison series took its place in an era still dominated by sitcoms. The love of one of the worst prisoners, the Irish-American Ryan O’Reily, for Gloria Nathan, a young Latina doctor, transgresses the rule that sexuality is a weapon, a stranglehold, a pure manifestation of enslaving force. Both will move toward grace, passing through the narrow gate of redemption.
