S01E05 "Straight Life" Details

S01E06 "To Your Health" Details

"B Block North Wing" signage in the stairwell down from the hospital ward, directly under "C Block"; unclear which floor exactly the hospital ward is on, only that it's above B-Block
- Based on the previous episode signage, it can be seen that Oz has at least 4 levels above ground; later seasons demonstrate that the cafeteria is closely situated to Emerald City, suggesting that Emerald City is above D Block; if Cell Block 5 = E Block, that also tracks with Emerald City being on the 5th level of Oz—assuming B Block is ground level
- In this episode, we can see that there are at least 2 flights of stairs above C-Block, which tracks with there being at least 5 floors over all
- Obviously from a production standpoint, they filmed in a building in the first seasons and then the later set probably had the cafeteria and all that close together for filming reasons, but the implication in-universe is that Oz is several floors high, and that somehow Busmalis was tunneling from the 5th floor LOL
