She is one of the few characters to have a happy ending to their storyline. Wittlesey is the only primary character who, although she was on for three seasons, was never killed off. She works double shifts, sometimes sleeping in the prison, just to make ends meet.

Oz's first female correctional officer is a divorcee and single mother, who has suffered spousal abuse, poverty and substance abuse through all of that she gained a pretty good understanding of criminal life.
