2003

A former Black Panther, Neema arrived in Emerald City to the Homeboys wanting him to lead. He turned them down. He also found that an ex-lover of his, Suzanne Fitzgerald, was an employee of Oz and her son, Ryan O'Reilly, was a prisoner in his cell block. He respected Ryan when he discovered the efforts Ryan has been putting in to save his brother Cyril from Death Row. When Cyril's execution date arrived, Neema organized the inmates to pound on their glass doors in memory of him. When Ryan's father Seamus arrived, Ryan pretended to be Neema's buddy to piss him off. Neema didn't want to be involved, but later Seamus tried to stab Neema. Neema, instead, stabbed Seamus and was put into the Hole.
