Just started this. It’s cool, but a few things keeping me from getting into it/giving these characters validity.
One, this prison is soft as fukk. I know a lot of developed nations have nicer prison systems than us, but that’s why I can’t take this seriously. Guards don’t have guns, there are only like 4 of them at that, they let these people do whatever, they’re like playground supervisors, there’s no security cams, lack of cuffs/roaming around all day (even in OITNB which had seasons where it looked like summer camp, they had legit protocol and procedures that showed it wasn’t a game when shyt went too far), no repercussions for actions, got kids living in jail, hella cute decorations/fluffy comforters in the cells
And so far these women in here on some weak ass charges (basically being drunks, or throwing temper tantrums) now all of a suddenly they thuggin? Running drugs? They got the anorexic teen looking chick Frankie running one crew and Meryl Streep as Martha Stewart running another
Luckily they have created a compelling enough story for me to overlook this, but these prison conditions are better than some fukking schools I’ve been to.
