Orange Is the New Black

It's always fun to read books that've been adapted to film or TV. Even though it's not as dramatic as the series, as real life rarely is, the emotion is much more genuine as the truth is always bleaker, and the little crumbs of happiness much more heartfelt.

It's a really good book, information wise and story wise. I didn't get away from it thinking how the prison system could be bettered, but knowing that it's all a sham. It's just a bunch of people with a bit of power playing with the powerless. Not different from the outside world, but much more exaggerated in that little microcosm.
