Oz - The Last Days of Moses Deyell

[@dangaruga]

"You know what's so crazy about all of this? On the brink of my demise. I feel more alive than ever". Genuinely. One of my favourite pieces of dialogue in the entire show

[@rickyray2794]

I felt so bad for Said, he tried to help so many people and kept getting fucked over.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Said did have pride issues but he was one of very few genuinely GOOD men in Oz. He even tried to embrace Robson after the nazis turned their back on him and this was after Robson brutally tortured and sliced open and murdered a fellow Muslim.

[@takerdust]

Said's greatest enemy was the crappy tv writers.

3:20 fun fact, the guy with the glasses on the game show was the first ever winner on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" He answered all questions correctly and on the final question he used his first lifeline, to call his dad to which he told him, "I don't need help with the answer, I'm just calling to tell you that I'm about to be a millionaire!" (paraphrasing, but he said something like that) Pretty neat!

It's like moses never died at all, he survives his fall from jumping out of the moving van, moved to Miami, Florida, changed his name to Doakes to hide his identity, and finds work as a police sergeant. I know they're two different shows, but I'm just saying.

i know its a show and all but doesn't lethal injection kinda taint the organ donation

[@stevem7192]

No. The injections just cause your heart to stop. The other injections are so you can't SEE (But it doesn't stop) the unbelievable agony of the process.

[@MontgomeryMall]

Yes, the chemicals and the dosages of them used in an American prison lethal injection render the organs too damaged for donation. Additionally the many years of being largely sedentary in a closed custody cell , lack of exercise and poor diet further makes condemned inmates poor candidates for donations . This has been explored in the past by some inmates and rejected by the medical authorities

[@sara_208]

Steven Masanz not being sarcastic here, does lethal injection actually cause physical pain?

I never understood why he threw himself off the bus instead of having the lethal injection. Was it to get his own back on the state? and did that mean his organs wouldn't be useable?

[@ErictheViking451]

He never wanted to donate his organs, he was just using that as a ploy to escape. He got the idea from the old guy in the next cell when he asked to be stoned to death instead of lethal injection/electrocution.

[@cun7us]

ErictheViking451 Ok, but surely he knew he would die or get seriously injured throwing himself off a bus? and if it was the latter then that would make his escape useless.

[@ErictheViking451]

***** Well I think that if he KNEW he would die he wouldn't have tried to escape, but of course, he didn't and probably just counted death/injury as a necessary risk for his freedom. He was on death row as well, so rather he died by his escape or lethal injection he WAS going to be dead either way.
