The Oswald Maximum Security Correctional Facility has opened an experimental new ward, Emerald City, reserved for especially dangerous criminals. Inside the walls of this rehabilitation unit, is a world that's even more corrupt and dangerous than the mean streets the inmates left behind. Survival is dependent on two sets of rules; those laid down by the warden and those understood by the racially divided prisoners. Gritty and violent, OZ deftly handles sensitive issues concerning the American justice system. This release contains every compelling episode from the show's second series.

Or you can rent each disc individually:
Oz is the most gritty, sinister and downright subversive prison drama I have ever seen.
That is where its brilliance lies.
It doesn't show prison as a hideaway camp where pesky types go and attempt to get over the wall, it shows people (mostly horrible) being in a place where most of them deserve.
One note: This is not a series for the faint hearted or easily offended. This is hard as nails, gritty drama. (is it realistic? I don't know - never been inside)
If ever there was a show that might keep your kids on the straight and narrow, this is it. Just make sure they become thugs after they are old enough to see it.
In conclusion, makes Prison Break (a fine show) look like Porrige.
