“Oz” is the nickname for the Oswald State Correctional Facility, formerly Oswald State Penitentiary, a fictional level 4 maximum-security state prison in an unspecified East Coast state, although references throughout the series point to New York as its location. The nickname “Oz” also refers to L. Frank Baum’s fictional Land of Oz. Where the classic film The Wizard of Oz (1939) popularized the phrase, “There’s no place like home,” a poster for the series used the tagline “It’s no place like home”. Most of the series’ story arcs are set in “Emerald City”, a wing of the prison that is named after a fantastic place in the Oz books.
