Oscar Savage

Oscar James Savage is the deuteragonist. He is the cellmate of Jeffrey Baxter and was a small-time drug dealer who greatly loved and supported girlfriend and son. He was a college dropout and his own family kicked him out because of his drug use. While in prison, Oscar became Jeffrey's friend due to both prisoners' mutual interest to get their heads down and survive behind the prison walls until they served their time. Like Jeffrey, Oscar is horrified by the brutality in prison, but does what he thinks is necessary. He wrestles with the feelings of guilt about the deaths of people he's associated with.

Oscar and Jeffrey develop a bond of loyalty towards each other, however his loyalty to Jeffrey becomes strained as Jeffrey becomes a much more darker and ruthless person.
