Let's spend one more day considering the unique situation of women who are incarcerated, drawing on any other readings or material you wish to consult.  You may already be familiar with the popular Netflix TV series, "Orange is the New Black" (based on a true memoir, of the same title).

Women that are incardinated build bonds for life. Unlike most men, women even the toughest of them seem to want to belong to something. I believe the orange is the new black shows this a point. The very beginning of the show we are introduced a female that is looking for her click to belong to in prison. The women that she gets to become friends with build a bond that seems unbreakable. However, with my experience in male prison work there seems to be a few that build bonds where as most of them are out for their own wellbeing. Women prisoners need a few friends to get through the struggle of prison and help them over come their past demons. I believe this is why most women prisoners have a higher rehabilitation rate compared to men. The ability for most women to open up with most people and to talk about there problems is completely amazing!

Women Behind Bars

Watching this for the first time, you begin to pick up on the minor things. This show starts off like little kids going to there first day at a new school. Walking through the doors you already have the groups of students that all knew each other, the nerd, jocks, and different clubs all separated. I noticed that Piper was basically the new kid looking for a group to being to. Little does she know that stepping on the wrong toes of a different can get you into a lot of mess. The group she finds seems to become like a family to them, the all try to make things work to benefit all of them instead of just one of them.They worked as a unit and as a unit everything seemed to flow for them. You can say that Piper found her place with this group of women.

Forum #7- Women in Prison

Women in prison are much like girls in high school where all you see are clicks, gossip, and most of all the perceiving notion that one must find some where to fit in at any cost. Orange is the New Black shows all of these ideas with in the Netflix series. Starting with all the different groups with in the prison most of which are based on race, others though are based on where you work with in the prison. Some of the women were grouped together as being butch and more manly and others for their sexual preference. The main character Piper starts the series just trying to find her place, according to Officer Healy her best bet is to be a loner, but that was no good enough for her. She finds out quick that just like in high school when you get on the popular girls bad side everybody will turn against you, in Pipers case it was the head lady in charge of the kitchen and they tried to starve her. You can never win unless you just fall in suit and play by the rules of the "popular girls" have set forth, no one said it was fare it is just life.

Women in prison

Women are able to adapt to change when it comes to family, but take their family away they will build a wall as well as become a fierce lion in a wolfs den.  A woman in prison must learn to accept that life as she has known it is no longer what was or what is.  She must adapt to a routine that does not allow her to care, nurture, or be the primary care giver for her family anymore.   In addition, she may be disrespected, raped, or beaten by fellow inmates or guards.  This only demoralizes her sense of being even more.  A woman with a healthy mind may come in, but the woman that leaves after losing her children will be hard, cold, and even resort to more crime especially if she is unable to get her family back or a sense of normalcy.
