[edit] Season 1
After three years in Oz, Pokewaldt became a drug addict. Without money to pay the drugs he bough previously from Simon Adebisi, Ronald is pressured by the Homeboys. He decides to testify to Tim McManus and Leo Glynn about the Homeboys's drug business, but it's useless because he has no proofs. Pokewaldt so, made business with Ryan O'Reily. When drugs were found in the mail, O'Reily told Eddie Hunt that Pokewaldt told Glynn and McManus that CO Mike Healy used to give O'Reily drugs and for this reason he was fired. Pokewaldt was then badly injured by the COs, and sent to the hospital. After that he was shown taking part in a drug addicts rehabilitation program, strangely showing no injuries, meaning either that; this scene is set much later on, or the script just put the scenes in the wrong order. He was not seen again on the show
