Character overview

"Prisoner #02C773. Convicted February 20, 2003 - Murder in the first degree. Sentence: Life imprisonment without the possibly of parole."

Cutler appeared throughout the show's fifth and sixth seasons. A homophobic racist, he is a member of the Aryan Brotherhood. He was sentenced to life without parole after he and some of his friends decapitated a gay man with a motorcycle. In prison, he is a sadistic rapist, and thus perfect for the Brotherhood, whose methods of sexual enslavement eventually get him killed.

When Cutler arrives in Oz and wants to join the Aryans, leader Vernon Schillinger tells him that he has to kill a black inmate to prove himself worthy. He picks Kareem Said, the leader of Oz's Muslims, a move that Schillinger immediately admires him for. Omar White, a heroin addict whom Said was trying to save, attacks Cutler and nearly chokes him to death, saving Said's life (for which he is sent to solitary confinement). Cutler has thus not yet accomplished his goal and must kill someone else now.

By the sixth season, Cutler gets into the Aryan Brotherhood. James Robson, a disgraced Aryan, comes looking for protection from Chucky Pancamo, leader of Oz's Italian gang. Cutler agrees to protect Robson only if he becomes his "prag", or sex slave. When Robson accepts the deal, Cutler immediately sodomizes him with a dessert spoon, his initiation into a life of humiliation and pain; Robson is later seen dressed in drag, cleaning up after him, and serving him meals. In the cafeteria, Pancamo, Arnold "Poet" Jackson and Ryan O'Reily berate Robson and Pancamo takes it one further by attempting to kill him. Cutler protects Robson by assaulting Pancamo, who is then forbidden by Warden Leo Glynn from interfering with the Aryans.

Throughout the show, Pancamo and Frank Urbano approach Robson and tell them that he can get back into the Aryan Brotherhood and get the Italians' forgiveness if Cutler dies. Robson first tells prison psychiatrist Peter Marie "Sister Pete" Reimondo that Cutler is suicidal. Later, after being sodomized, Robson convinces Cutler to try autoerotic asphyxiation. After Robson awakes the following morning Cutler is dead, hanging from his neck by a noose attached to the side of the bed. Cutler apparently leaves Miguel Alvarez as his sole beneficiary, a surprise that baffles the Aryan Brotherhood.
