Several inmates, however, do not show him the respect he had when he first arrived in Oz; in their eyes, Adebisi made him his "prag" ( Sex Slave ) by raping him. Things get complicated when the Aryan Brotherhood learn that Pancamo ordered a hit on Hank Schillinger, the son of their leader, Vernon Schillinger . Pancamo is hospitalized and the Latinos, the Italians' partners, go to work with Burr Redding and his gang instead. Seeking revenge, Schibetta goes to Kareem Said asking to help him murder Schillinger. Said refuses, saying that Schibetta will "always be known as one of Adebisi's bitches," and the other Italians agree and decide not to retaliate unless Pancamo gives the order.

His attempt on Schillinger fails, however, and Schillinger, James Robson , and one other Aryan gang rape him while calling him ethnic slurs and forcing him to judge the difference in Penis size between the three of them and Adebisi. Schibetta is taken into Psych again and is counseled by Sister Peter Marie.
