Guest Blogger - Orange is the New Black

While I was interested in reading Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison by Piper Kerman because I had watched the T.V. show with the same name, the two were quite different.  The memoir told the story of Piper Kerman and the story of how she survived a year in prison with the help of her family, friends and her fellow inmates.  The message in the story was that the prison system does little to provide inmates with the tools necessary to be successful in the outside world.  Whether you have watched the show or not I would recommend Orange is the New Black.  Stacy Tines, guest blogger.
