Piper Kerman, the author, gives us an inside look into her thirteen month incarceration in a womens federal prison. A brief foray into drug trafficking while in her twenties catches up to her ten years later and she pleads guilty for a reduced sentence. Think "Shawshank Redemption" without the violence or the escape. The unique part of her story is how she demonstrates that even under very unusual and difficult circumstances, women will pull together and form friendships, bonds, and supportive networks. If you are looking to read something different, read this.

interesting, but didn't answer as many questions as I'd have liked.
