Reggie Rawls

Reggie Rawls is an African American Oz prisoner played by Mtume Gant. He is imprisoned for assaulting a Chinese delivery man after smoking crack. He is a member of the Homeboys who works for Burr Redding and Arnold "Poet" Jackson amongst others.

Rawls stays in Unit C where he is a major drug dealer. Burr Redding has Omar White play the middle man in the drug distribution between Rawls and Redding in a janitorial closet where White practices singing. The operation runs smoothly until Kareem Said busts Rawls and assaults White.

Reggie is moved to Em City where the Homeboys are randomly attacking other inmates out of control. Burr Redding, their leader is told to keep them under control by Kareem Said but cannot because he is upset that his stepson Augustus Hill died recently. Redding then decides he will lead them once again and this time will stop them from dealing drugs. He gets them jobs as telemarketers and Poet and Rawls openly oppose the job as they wish to keep selling drugs. They end up leaving the telemarketing business as Redding fires Poet for cussing out a customer over the phone. Rawls and Poet try to work together on some get rich quick schemes but find trouble from the Italian inmates. Chucky Pancamo and Frank Urbano have been told by Burr Redding to thwart any drug dealing attempts done by the Homeboys and gladly accept the job killing a connection of theirs named Skybar. Rawls and Poet then decide to work for Zahir Arif and the Muslims in a book binding business. In the meantime, a new inmate Stanley Bukowski comes in with Marijuana flavored brownies and the Homeboys agree to help him sell them. The Italians find out and kill Bukowski. In the meantime, Redding destroys the book binding business forcing the Homeboys to work for him again. In the telemarketing however, Poet has a plan to steal credit card numbers and sell them.
