Episode 4 of "Oz"
s01e04 Capital P

Governor Devlin has reinstated the death penalty and luck Jefferson Keene is the first to try out the new law. The inmates buzz about Keene's death, but Keene himself isn't all that worked up. Sister Peter Marie is wholly against the death penalty and is fired when she decides to join the protestors gathering outside Oz. Her replacement is a disaster, and by the end of the episode she's got her old job back. Beecher feels it's his duty as a lawyer (albeit a disbarred one) to offer his services to Keene, but he rejects Beecher's offer. Keene's thinking is that if he dies now, having found Allah, there is a chance he may get into Heaven. If he returns to Em City, he feels he may return to his old ways. Keane donates a kidney to his ailing sister, and then is killed through lethal injection. The whole situation is very taxing on Said who faints due to high blood pressure. Dr. Nathan prescribes the drugs which will ultimately kill Keane, and this makes McManus upset, citing that "doctors are supposed to heal." All this talk of death must make McManus horny, for as Jefferson Keene is getting the needle stuck in his arm, McManus and Whittlesey are doin' it right up against them dirty prison walls. Meanwhile, life continues in Em City for many prisoners, including Ryan O'Reilly who, sick of taking orders from Joey D'angelo, arranges for him to "accidentally" get hurt in the kitchen, injuring him enough to put him out of commission for a while. Alvarez's self-imposed stigmata isn't enough to save his baby, and the plug is pulled after Alvarez sees how sick his child is. The death count just keeps on risin' as Richard L'Italien, a serial killer who confesses to killing over 30 women is also put to death through lethal injection.
