[edit] Season 1
The Italians run the kitchen and drug trade in Oz. D'Angelo is a soldier of the Italians taking orders mainly from Nino Schibetta. He overlooks the Black inmates, the Homeboys led by Jefferson Keane to keep the peace in the drug trade. When Keane on help from inmate Ryan O'Reilly kills Dino Ortolani, Schibetta's protégé, he states that no drug dealing will occur until Dino's killers are found. He then assists the other Italians in killing Johnny Post, the Homeboy who carried out the hit. The Homeboys start hassling D'Angelo in the gym, but he is a skilled fighter and manages to take out Adebisi and Markstrom before being pinned down by Jefferson Keane. Keane also dies shortly afterwards when he receives the death penalty for killing a Latino inmate during a fight that was arranged by Ryan O'Reilly. After this happens the prison is locked down but the Black inmates are still ready for war. Ryan O'Reilly then convinces Simon Adebisi and new Homeboy Kenny Wangler that D'Angelo was the one who set up Keane, partly because he also has a side battle with him. The Homeboys look to eliminate D'Angelo, a task that they accomplish in a kitchen "accident". Joey is seen recuperating in the infirmary, resulting in his survival of the attack, but is neither seen nor mentioned on any subsequent episode. Although it is possible that he is now in General Population, as Tim McManus transferred all Italian prisoners who where on Nino's side in a following episode, meaning Joey would have eventually been transferred too.
