Schillinger forces him to walk past the black inmates wearing a shirt bearing a Confederate Flag hoping that Beecher will be murdered. Beecher subsequently begins using heroin, to cope with the daily rapes and degradation, much to Schillinger's disgust. He has a drag queen to doll him up like a woman and sing in the prison talent show to further his humiliation. Schillinger frequently humiliates and sodomizes Beecher.
He fears that Said has the potential to mobilize the black inmates in a takeover of the prison. Throughout this season, Schillinger is wary of the high-profile leader of the Muslim prisoners, Minister Kareem Said, because of Said's ability to gain access to, and in some cases influence, not only McManus but other local and state officials. As a result, Schillinger takes advantage of Beecher's weakness once inside the cell and rapes him repeatedly, as well as burning a swastika on his buttocks.
Beecher naïvely accepts the offer, unaware that Schillinger is a jailhouse rapist and that the Aryans only pull moves like this to make sexual slaves, or "prags", out of the newer white inmates. After Beecher is harassed by his terrifying cellmate, Simon Adebisi, Schillinger offers to let him move into his cell as long as he does not implicate Adebisi to Unit Manager Tim McManus. Schillinger starts off Season 1 as a cellmate of Tobias Beecher, a white lawyer imprisoned for vehicular manslaughter, who is also an educated family man not in any way fit for prison life. Their main goal is to put fear into the inmates who wish to take advantage of any whites inside of the prison. Schillinger is the head of the Aryan Brotherhood, a gang of white supremacists. Schillinger strongly objects to his name being mispronounced, averring that it should be "Schilling - ur", not "Schillin - jur". Many members of Oz's Aryans who follow him are imprisoned for hate crimes ( James Robson, Mark Mack, and Wolfgang Cutler among others) and readily affiliate themselves with the Brotherhood under Schillinger's leadership.

Schillinger has a number of major family issues throughout the series: his father, whom he hates, taught him everything he knows about racism his sons are immoral drug addicts he has disowned his sister for marrying a Jew and his daughter-in-law is a prostitute with a baby of possibly mixed race. Schillinger is also quick to have the Brotherhood kill other inmates to prove that the Aryans in Oz are a legitimate threat to the rest of the inmate population. In addition to Beecher, Schillinger commits several acts of rape over the series against weaker white inmates, while ironically maintaining a hatred for homosexuals. Schillinger indulges in varying degrees of sexual sadism, especially toward fellow inmate Tobias Beecher, whom he rapes to "initiate" him into prison life. The dealer was selling drugs to his sons.
