Description: Mershaw was upset by the lack of action Kareem Said was
taking towards the other gangs. Refused to sit back and
wait for Kareem to take action. When Kareem Said was having
heart problems and needed assistance, Husani just left him
there to die. Mershaw took over The Muslims and was about
to start a holy war in Oz under order from Kareem Said (or
so he said). When Said came back from ICU, he told the
truth- that Mershaw left him there to die. Said said that
no muslim is to speak to him, make eye contact, or
acknowledge his[Mershaw's] presence. Mershaw told Warden
Glynn Said's(ficticious) plans of starting a riot. Warden
Glynn although doubtful of the validity of Mershaw's story
decided it's time Em City had another shakedown. The
shakedown revealed that every inmate in Em City had a
weapon save Said. The prisoners were not allowed phone
calls, visits, or to watch TV for 2 months. Mershaw got
transfered out of Em City but not before every inmate in
Em City lined up in two columns and each spit in his face
while he walked down the aisle for him suggesting a
shakedown. Mershaw became so depressed, he
slit his throat and thus, ended his life.
