Piper Kerman is hardly the same rebellious young lady who got caught up with drug runners and transported a bag full of drug money to Europe more than ten years ago, what with her work, her live-in partner, and her supportive family. However, Piper's careless past finally catches up with her; she is found guilty and given a fifteen-month term in a notorious women's prison in Connecticut, where she is assigned the number #11187-424. She learns to negotiate this bizarre world with its arbitrary rules and regulations, its unexpected, even hazardous interactions, from her first strip search until her last release. She meets women from various walks of life, and they astonish her with little gestures of kindness, brutal honesty, and affirming words.
