#Prisonlife: Orange Is The New Black!

Orange is The New Black. Great Book. GREAT NETFLIX SERIES! Seriously. If you haven’t given into the series that has fans itching for new seasons like crackheads well you are for real missing out! The series is based off the book about this woman Piper who gets caught up in drug trafficking activity she had committed years prior. She was basically helping carrying the drug money into the other countries with her girlfriend at the time. Now Piper for the most part wasn’t involved in the whole drug trade but since she at least carried a bag at least once, that was a crime and she was incarcerated. The series follows her trials and tribulations in prison and showcases the women in there that she is locked away with.

This series has everything; the grit, sex, drama, corruption, backhand deals, drugs, fights, etc. So if you think this is just women patty caking and hair-braiding you are really in for a treat! The actors do a phenomenal job of giving real life breadth to these characters. They may even remind you of people you have met in real life. Although the characters are technically criminals, you are shown that criminals are people. They were all free at one time and each of them has a back story. You just never know what people have been through and what choices they made to get to where they are in the present. Everyone makes mistakes; some of those just might get you a first class ticket to jail! You will find yourself relating, cheering, and emotionally wrapped up in their lives. By the way, just in case you were unaware, season 3 just dropped on Netflix June 11, 2015 so pop you some popcorn and get yourself a little marathon going!
