This was a good book. The problem is that I started watching the show before I read the book which is never a good idea for me. When I watch first then the characters are already defined in my head and in reality the characters, including Piper, don't match up between the two mediums. What I definitely got from the book is a better sense of how flawed our prison system is and how much it fails at reforming the people who are sent there. I think about how when I fill out a job app and I'm asked if I have ever been convicted of a crime I can answer no. I can only assume that answering yes will quickly end any chance of being considered for hire. And if you can't get a job how can you be expected to do better the second time around...
