Joseph Howard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Howard is an elderly African American correctional officer on the HBO drama Oz.

He appears briefly in Season four where he is killed by inmate Guillaume Tarrant in a shootout. As Oz has been experiencing racial tension, his death is not easy for Unit Manager Tim McManus who goes on a self-destructive path singing the racially insensitive De Camptown Races at his funeral. Warden Leo Glynn then fires McManus as Unit Manager of Emerald City only to later rehire him as Unit Manager of Gen Pop after he undergoes therapy.
