[first lines]

Augustus Hill : Oz. That's the name on the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. Only, big news - they changed the name. It's now called the Oswald State Correctional Facility, Level Four. I don't know what the difference is. Leo Glynn is still warden, Sister Peter Marie is still in psych, Tim McManus is still unit manager of Emerald City, and I know for damn sure none of us have changed. Beecher is still in the hospital after Schillinger and Keller broke his bones, Alvarez is still in solitary after blinding a C.O., Adebisi is still in the loony ward after changing hats. Maybe it's truth in advertising. Maybe by getting rid of the word "penitentiary," the state is finally admitting that nobody's penitent. Nobody's sorry. Nobody.
[last lines]

Augustus Hill : Truth is a powerful thing. It can right a wrong or make a bad thing worse, but in Oz, the truth is... if the facts don't fit the truth, fuck the facts.
