She explained that every prison story is a survival story, one that those living may struggle to make sense of. She speaks regularly about criminal justice reform and teaches writing in state prisons. Kerman spoke to her work teaching memoir writing to incarcerated people. Piper also hosts the podcast, “From Where She Stands,” which connects the storylines from Orange is the New Black with stories from real women whose lives have been impacted by prison. What I did not expect from this memoir was the affection, compassion, and even reverence that Piper Kerman demonstrates for all the women she encountered. She was picked up by her husband, Larry, and went on to write a memoir to answer all of the. She serves on the board of directors of the Women’s Prison Association and the advisory boards of the PEN America Writing For Justice Fellowship, InsideOUT Writers, Healing Broken Circles and JustLeadershipUSA. After 13 months spent in three different facilities, Kerman was released from an Illinois prison. Piper Kerman is the author of the memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, which was adapted into an Emmy Award-winning original series for Netflix. This is an inspiring show about how writing changes lives-and systems-for the better. Brooke and Grant speak with Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black, about her book, the Netflix series, and her ongoing advocacy in America’s broken criminal justice system. The second season was released this past Friday.
This week’s episode is an inside look at how a single book can have far-reaching tendrils into people’s lives-informing, entertaining, and effecting change. Kerman’s memoir Orange Is The New Black: My Year In A Women’s Prison documented her 13 months behind bars and became the basis for the popular Netflix series.
