TV does such a wonderful job of promoting fairy tales and fiction. Just like how the protagonists after being shot recover within forty-five minutes, accurate depictions of prison life by certain shows do not match up with reality.

Being that prisons in the USA are a mix of public and privately owned/operated I would imagine the experiences of the women inside the prisons would vary from prison to prison. Just like the one girl in this video that said other prisons were bad for lesbianism (whatever that means). OITNB is a Netflix series based on a non-fiction book. The main character in the book/series is the writer of the book. How much has been dramatized in both the book and series I don’t know, but I would guess not all prisons are flowers and rose gardens like the one in this video. Many states emphasize punishment over rehabilitation.
