Description: 16 year old Kenny Wangler was
charged as an
adult and sentenced to 20 years in Oz.
Wangler was in awe
of Kareem Said, a man he regularly watched on
television.
It looked as thought Kenny would convert to
Islam and
joins The Muslims, but Kenny couldn't lead a
drug free
life and instead turned to The Gangstas.
Became the right
hand man to Adebisi. Robbed senior citizen
prisoner Bob
Rebadowe. Regualrly angered Tim McManus by
his actions. On
one occasion, Tim choked Wangler half way to
death. When
the drugs ran out during the riot Adebisi
tried to kill
Kenny for no apparent reason.-----
When McManus instituted his Em City education
program, he approached Wangler with a deal-he
go to the classes, learn to read, and get his
GED and he won't have to wash the windows at
Oz anymore. Wangler agreed and was making
great progress in reading...until Adebisi
caught wind of what was going on and
disapproved. Wangler started getting in
fights during class (as a way to look tough
and get educated at the same time) and was
banned from graduation. When Adebisi was
committed to the mental ward, Wangler took
control of The Gangstas. With Antonio Nappa's
seizing control of the Oz drug trade, Wangler
knew the only way to make any money off drugs
now would be to join Nappa. Wangler and Nappa
were now business partners, and as a sign of good faith, Wangler and another Gangsta killed Adebisi's buddy Kip Kemy Jar
