- Unit Information
Emerald City, often shorted to Em City is the fifth cell block in Oswald State Correctional Facility.
Emerald City is an experimental unit in Oz. Founded by Tim McManus, Emerald City is an extremely controlled environment, with a carefully managed number of members of each racial and social group, with the hope of easing tensions among these various groups. The unit, unlike other units, offers rehabilitation programs to the prisoners. The prisoners are allowed to walk around and talk to the prisoners in the unit and they are allowed to play card games and board games, all in their own clothes (not like other units that demand prison uniforms).
