Even while I still adhere to that line of reasoning, I am starting to realize that not every person deserves to be locked up and that many of them will actually change after serving their time. I've always believed that if you commit a crime, you must do your sentence. Actually, these are situations that I haven't previously been concerned with or believed I would wish to tackle. I became quite interested in them and was keen to learn more. You should read this book because it will undoubtedly alter the way you think. My perception of jails and prisoners has been radically altered by this book. Reading Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman taught me a lot.
I particularly like how she chronicles her descent into criminal activity in detail before describing the realities of life in jail, where there are few options for free will. Her experience was so bizarre, and it made me realize how brave she is. I was surprised to realize that I, too, was terrified, and that my eyes were welling up with tears for her. Nearly all of her emotions were palpable to me. This appears to be the most severe penalty during imprisonment.Īs a woman, I can well understand Piper's trepidation when she first visited the jail, therefore I was truly astounded at how perfectly her book depicted both prison life and life beyond. Your only company besides the other prisoners is yourself. Your access to the outside world is entirely barred. Nobody ever wants to spend time in prison. Did she merit retribution for her misdeeds? Definitely. She was only a young adult who made some really poor choices. Piper Kerman wasn't a bad person in my eyes. I was quite interested since I had no idea that the series was based on this book, and just that it was also based on a true story. Since I thought I recognized the title, I searched for the book, and sure enough, this is the one my friend suggested I watch on Netflix. Then, the last time I was looking for a book to read, this one came highly recommended on Goodreads. However, at the time, I was not a fan of such types of genres, so I did not bother to watch it.
Since long before, my friend has been urging me to watch the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black.
She meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with tokens of generosity, hard truths and simple acts of acceptance. From her first strip search to her final release, she learns to navigate this strange world with its arbitrary rules and codes, its unpredictable, even dangerous relationships. But when she least expects it, her reckless past catches up with her convicted and sentenced to fifteen months at an infamous women's prison in Connecticut, Piper becomes inmate #11187-424. With her career, live-in boyfriend and loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the rebellious young woman who got mixed up with drug runners and delivered a suitcase of drug money to Europe over a decade ago.
