This was a great example of why we should never judge the book by its TV Show. After watching Orange is The New Black on Netflix, I thought that it was pretty good with good story line and entertaining subject. However, the book was entirely different from the set up, the story line, and side characters.

If you are a relatively small woman, and a man at least twice your size is bellowing at you in anger, and youre wearing a prisoners uniform, and he has a pair of handcuffs on his belt, I dont care how much of a badass you think you are, youll be fucking scared

After 10 years of carrying a case full of drug money, Piper has to do 15 months in prison. From trying to learn how to adjust to prison rules to finding people that she grows very affectionate for this memoir is definitely worth reading. For those who already watched the series before they read a book its not rated R as they show in the book and unfortunately, we do not get to hear the story from the other prisoners POV.

So if youre interesting in a story about minimum security, I would suggest checking it out. I have never been a big biography fan but this book made me re-think that.
