My knowledge of how prison is run is limited to what I’ve seen on Orange is the New Black. “Home?” she questions again. “It feels like home,” I admit. And it does. Everything I own is there. It’s filled with people I care a lot about. I’m sleeping in Jon’s room every night, even when he’s working nights. “You look different.” Heather eyes me up and down. “How?” I ask, looking around the visitation room. That one annoying woman isn’t here, thankfully. She listened in on my conversations with my sister and just gave off a bad vibe.

They have activities and tasks and their social skills—even if its limited—was still exercised. For Naomi Charleston, it was the time of the day to talk to her daughter in law, Miles. It’s been a week since their failed attempt to end Olivia’s life and she’s still in denial about her time in prison. Naomi still believes that she’s innocent and did not deserve any of this.

It’s dog eat dog here” Did someone bring in a mentally challenged person in here, thinking that this was a psychiatric hospital? What is the correlation between this prison and dogs?

CLAIRE The cell was cold. I'd been in custody for months now. Should have been used to it. But I wasn't. Would never be. Every morning I woke up on a thin mattress. Metal toilet in the corner. Concrete walls. Fluorescent lights that buzzed constantly. This wasn't supposed to be my life. I was Claire Hoss. Fashion CEO. Socialite. One of New York's most powerful women. Not inmate number 847392. But here I was.

Who said looking for a new job would just be that easy for someone who just got out of prison? A week had already passed and yet she still couldn’t find a job. She was confident that she did well with her interview but after knowing her history, employers would turn her down. “So much for this so-called new life,” she grumbled beneath her breath. She took a cigarette and lit it, placing it between her lips. She drew heavily on her cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke. She couldn’t do this at her aunt’s house as she was sure her aunt Livvie would be horrified seeing her smoking.

“Mrs. Grayson, I think you need a therapist. Whatever you went through in prison—” “I’m not crazy,” I snapped, my voice louder than I intended. He paused, his pen hovering over the page. “I know what I saw,” I continued. “That man is not who you think he is. You’re all so blinded by his money, his power, that you refuse to see the monster beneath.” The door opened again, and another officer stepped in, holding a sketchpad. They'd asked me to describe his physical features so they could sketch it out and make sure it matched the Axel Blackwood everyone knew. Because as far they were concerned, there was no way they were the same people.

The maids always check on me, as if everything I do is being timed. Afterward, the maids bring me boxes—clothes, shoes, bags. One box stands out - a brand new iPhone with a small note taped to it: “I’m sorry for what happened. We’ll talk next time once we’re both calmed down. – King Orvyn.” I crumple the note and throw it in the bin. The maids style my hair by braiding it then twisting it into a crown. I choose a black dress that hides my extra pounds, and put on light makeup to cover my swollen eyes.

"Hey, sorry, I didn't know she couldn't eat apples! But she didn't even eat it, you know, can I take it back or throw it away...?" "That's what people visiting relatives and friends in prison say," the nurse rolled his eyes while tapping Márcia's arm with the tied tourniquet. "Just a little prick, Márcia," he said and picked up the pre-filled needle from the tray. "Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Guard, I just bought this cell phone so he can talk to me." "Oh, this? It's just a little packet of cocaine for recreational purposes, brought it for him to have some fun!" You all embarrass me, you know? An apple for breakfast, lasagna for lunch, and when dinner comes, it'll be vatapá or feijoada!"

"Just another woman who made terrible choices and got caught. No status. No money. No carefully curated life. Just a name on a court docket and a cell in a federal facility." The color drained from her face completely. "That's what you always feared, isn't it?" I continued. "Not prison. Not poverty. Being nobody. Being invisible.

Mike Peters before she headed to the back where the cells were located. Had it not been the weekend and a holiday at that, the prisoner would've been transferred out instead of overnighting here at the county jail, then she would've been someone else's problem. Celia scolded herself for her selfish and less than compassionate thoughts, but she was well and truly sick of Valerie O'Rourke. The woman had had everything. A husband that most of the women in town under fifty and a few above would've given their eyeteeth to have sitting across the breakfast table from them.
