About the Orange Is The New Black (Tie-In Edition)

Now reissued with new cover art to tie in with Season 4 of the original Netflix series, which releases June 17, 2016! The #1 bestselling portrait of life inside a women's prison, by a Smith College graduate who did the crime and did the time.
Endlessly fascinating, this chronicle of the author's year at the infamous women's federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, tells the story of a surprising community of women living under exceptional circumstances. In Orange Is the New Black, Piper Kerman tells the dramatic story of being locked up in a place with its own codes of behavior and arbitrary hierarchies, where a practical joke is as common as an unprovoked fight, and where the uneasy relationship between prisoner and jailer is constantly and unpredictably recalibrated. Revealing, moving, and enraging, Orange Is the New Black offers a unique perspective on the criminal justice system, the reasons we send so many people to prison, and what happens to them when they're there.
