Synopsis:
In the aftermath of the riot that killed six inmates and two officers, Oz is locked down, and Emerald City prisoners are sent either to solitary or "gen-pop." A special committee is appointed to investigate the riot and Governor Devlin's handling of it; the committee's leader is law-school dean Alvah Case, who roams Oz questioning inmates and officers alike. Inside, a gen-pop prisoner named James Robson demands that Beecher perform oral sex on him, and gets a painful tip in return. Case determines that the death of inmate Scott Ross during the riot was no accident--but is the truth better left untold?
