Character Overview
A homosexual, HIV-positive inmate, Ginzburg is isolated from the general population in Oswald State Penitentiary's Unit F–the AIDS ward. While there he kills his cellmate, imprisoned Mafia boss Antonio Nappa, on the orders of Chucky Pancamo, then pleads guilty to murder, moving him to the prison's death row ward. When his disease worsens as his execution date approaches he notes that he did wonder what would kill him first, the disease or the state.
