** Then there's Christopher's testimony on the stand about all the incriminating things Lorna done to him and his fiancee ' all while Lorna vehemently denies it to her lawyer.
--->'''Christopher:''' We went on one date, I met her at the post office, we had a coffee. I wasn’t interested in pursuing things further, I told her that, very clearly. I started receiving phone calls, facebook messages, texts, e-mails, she showed up at my house. I made it clear to her that her advances were unwanted, and then I began receiving threats. I changed my phone number, my e-mail account and I moved. Twice. Each time she found me. When I started dating my current girlfriend, Angela, she showed up at Atlantic City where we had gone for the weekend. She left notes on my car, she threw trash on my lawn, she left voice-mails yelling about how I wasn’t helping enough with the dog. I don’t even have a dog. And then she threatened to strangle Angela, that’s when I got a restraining order. We found a home-made explosive device under Angela’s car.

The inmate [[AssholeVictim is clearly no ray of sunshine]], with the aforementioned homophobic beating and spending his time being handcuffed cussing and yelling homophobic insults at Piscatella, but watching his arrogant, tough, badass inmate character completely vanish as the water begins steaming and he yelps out, in a ''much'' higher pitch than before, "Oh, '''''GOD!!!'''''" and spends the rest of the scene '''shrieking''' in agony and violently thrashing from side to side to try and free himself is the very definition of "horrifying."

* Many of the prison guards take far too much enjoyment in the pain they cause the women. Yes, the women are criminals and are in prison for punishment, but since when did it become okay to rape, torment, hurt and even murder someone with absolutely no provocation? Yes, Pornstache was locked up for ''one'' of his many rapes, but that's the one and only bit of retribution inflicted on any of these guys as of season four. After a while, you get the feeling that the guards chose to work in a prison because they would be allowed to get away scot-free with their asshole behavior. There's little doubt that, if not for their jobs, the guards would be the ones behind bars. Remember kids: as long as you have the money for the proper schooling and training, you too can fly completely under the radar and even get paid to beat, rape and torture people because a butchered system says they deserve it!

And the lovable characters and BlackHumor that you've come to expect from this show? Gone. Piper has to face the horrors of the prison alone, and you genuinely think that she might lose her mind by the end.

Most females are uncomfortable with male-bodied people with penises (regardless of how they identify) being in prison with them. Some of these people with penises are in prison for RAPE and/or MURDER and male-bodied people are usually stronger than female-bodied people. (Let that sink in) These folks do NOT need to be around females. They need to be in a male prison away from the general population (for their own safety) or there needs to be a prison created exclusively for trans inmates (a better and safer option).
