It's kind of raw but I didn't notice any wokeness
Sometimes I don't understand what some people call Woke. I can't think of any LGBT.... elements. The story and acting are really good. The language is very raw and there are some R-rated scenes of nudity and violence. Perhaps the racial divide of prisons is triggering somebody's woke-meter. The Aaryn Brotherhood, Cripps, Bloods and MS13 are all very real and depicted in this series. After giving it some thought, the Aaryn Brotherhood is depicted as the worst of them. Perhaps that could be considered Woke.

Mildly woke...there are no good guys
This is a excellent show if you can handle the excessive violence. If anything it shows there are no good guys or bad guys and there are no winners no matter your color. or what side of the law you're on.
Jeremy Renners character tries to mediate and keep the peace between the factions but he, himself, is capable of great violence and has no patience to wait it out for sanctioned justice.
The whole town is kind of a hell hole.
The worst wokeness is Diane Wiest in S1 centering only on teaching the violent minority criminals in the prison on how they've been wronged historically.. Probably not the brightest thing to concentrate on. It catches up with her.
