Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison
From her first strip search to her final release, Piper Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its arbitrary rules and codes, as well as its unpredictable, and even dangerous relationships. However, while serving her sentence she meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with tokens of generosity, hard truths and simple acts of acceptance.
Heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging, Kerman’s story Orange Is the New Black offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison; why it is we lock so many away, and what happens to them when they’re there.
