Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison

by Piper Kerman
$8.90
Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison
Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison

Privileged woman's transformative glimpse into incarceration.

If you've been caught up in the Netflix series, the memoir "Orange Is the New Black" might speak to you even more deeply. Piper Kerman offers an honest and riveting perspective that isn't just about her own journey, but about the resilience and humanity of the women she meets behind bars. Her experiences might challenge what you think you know about prison life and the justice system. It's more than a personal story; it's a commentary on friendship, systemic issues, and the unexpected kindness found in the most unlikely places.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money ten years before. But that past has caught up with her. Convicted and sentenced to fifteen months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, the well-heeled Smith College alumna is now inmate #11187–424—one of the millions of people who disappear “down the rabbit hole” of the American penal system. From her first strip search to her final release, Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its strictly enforced codes of behavior and arbitrary rules. She meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with small tokens of generosity, hard words of wisdom, and simple acts of acceptance. Heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging, Kerman’s story 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.
