Persephone

Sometimes if a prisoner responds well to "rehabilitation" the Secret Police might give her a chance to try and earn back a place in society. In the case of the former activist that involves giving evidence against all of her former friends. Once such betrayal would have been anathema for her but after what she was subjected to and the changes it induced in her captive brain she willingly puts on the orange burqa of a partially reformed woman and says exactly what she is told to say eager to earn the black burqa of (relative) freedom.

Pre-order Jailhouse Wardress.

"While other girls make dates, you make license plates!" I hate schmaltzy sitcoms about giant families and wacky workplaces, but this one is about women in prison. And it's even called "Women In Prison," one of the first series to air on Fox back in 1987. It's a personal dream of mine realized for a whole thirteen episodes. The titular ladies include: a rich ditz framed by her hubby for shoplifting, a bank robber, an abused wife who beat her husband to death with a bat (!), a computer fraudster, and a Cockney-accented working girl. This makes the clink look like summer camp. The inmates have furniture and leopard print bedspreads, everyone wanders through hallways with their cell doors open, and instead of regulation jumpsuits the ladies traipse around in mini-shirts, high heels, midriffs, acid wash denim, spandex, and studded punk cuffs. It's sheer, shameless trash with some really likable players, and I'm guilty, guilty, GUILTY! of digging it.

All prisoners are required to provide labour but the ones in the workshops are considered better off than those in the chain Gangs. While both work sixteen hour days, at least the ones inside are able to sit down and don't have to carry back breaking loads all day long...
