Once a deputy of a small town, Yood was convicted of beating up a minor. He arrived in Unit J and continuously got into arguments with other inmates Clayton Hughes and Johnny Basil, as well as Officer Claire Howell. Eventually Hughes stabbed Basil to death, leaving Yood alone with Howell. Ryan O'Reilly paid Yood, and Yood "accidentally" bumped Howell down a staircase and broke her pelvis.

2003

Yood received company in Unit J when Tobias Beecher and Mayor Wilson Lowen arrived. Yood informed Beecher that the Aryans had killed his father, and he advised that Beecher do something about it before he leaves Oz. The next day, Lowen was dead, Beecher was gone, and Yood was once again alone in Unit J. Willie Brandt, the killer of Mayor Lowen, was there for a while, but Yood witnessed someone kill Brandt. For the sake of his own survival, Yood refused to ever tell who it was.
