TOP TEN OZ CHARACTERS | INMATES | 02. KAREEM SAID

How do I feel? I feel joyless. My brothers remain behind, imprisoned, suppressed. I don’t just mean my Muslim brothers. I mean every single man that will sleep here tonight, that was cut off from everything that he loves, cut off from his own self. You know, as the word went around that the Governor was gonna give somebody clemency, I saw a rift develop, as each inmate wished himself to be the chosen one. The longing to be free became as palpable as the food that we eat. But it is a meal that I am being served right now. And I am Muslim. And Allah does not allow me to — swallow certain things. Allah does not allow me to take scraps from the hands of a man such as this, a man who is corrupt and immoral, a man who denigrates the gift of clemency just as he violates the principles of justice, a man that gave the order that caused the death of eight people. And so, Governor Devlin, because even the cost of freedom can be too high, I refuse your pardon.

TOP TEN OZ CHARACTERS | INMATES | 05. JEFFERSON KEANE

I want my family to know that I love them, and I believe that this punishes them more than it punishes me. I am so sorry for the three murders I did, and I wish that by killing me today, you could bring them back. My time on this earth has been far too short, maybe too short to get it all done right, so — I’m ready to move on. All praise to Allah. All praise.

“Remember when your high school history teacher said that the course of human events changes ‘cause of the deeds of great men? Well, the bitch was lying. Fuck Caesar, fuck Lincoln, fuck Mahatma Gandhi. The world keeps moving cause of you and me, the anonymous. Revolutions get going cause there ain’t enough bread. Wars happen over a game of checkers.”

“Now, I’m not saying the men in Oz are innocent. I am saying that they are not here because of the crimes they have committed, but the color of their skin. Their lack of education. The fact that they are poor! You see, this riot is not about getting smoking back, conjugal rights - it’s not even about life in prison. It’s about society taking responsibility. It’s about the whole horrid judicial system! We don’t need more prisons, bigger prisons, better prisons. We need better justice.”

“So, what have we learned? What’s the lesson for today? For all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz? That morality is transient? That virtue cannot exist without violence? That to be honest is to be flawed? That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us? That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask? The story is simple: a man lives in prison and dies. How he dies? That’s easy. The who and the why is the complex part. The human part. The only part worth knowing… Peace.”
