Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women鈥檚 Prison, the adaptation of which has proven to be a wildly popular Netflix television series, has been called the yuppies鈥� view of prison. Kerman is a consultant to the show. Born into a Boston clan of doctors, lawyers and teachers, she was a graduate of Smith College when she had a very brief, very careless dalliance into the world of drug trafficking. Following a plea deal for her crime, Kerman spent over a year in the infamous women鈥檚 correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut. In her memoir, she takes readers into B-Dorm, a community of eccentric, vividly drawn women whose lives are marked by physical abuse, mental illness and addiction. Today, Kerman is a married mother of a toddler. She served on the board of the Women鈥檚 Prison Association, an advocacy group, and currently works for a public interest communications firm.Orange is the New Black 鈥� which is sponsored by the 91福利社 Cultural Program 鈥� is free, open to the public and accessible to the disabled.
