This show is good, it's different than the others. Personally I think in everyone of the female's stories once a male gets involved that's when trouble starts... Also I have a problem with Valencia's story/life -the poet S2E3. I feel this was self-defense and if she was white she wouldn't be in prison at all. God bless her and all the rest of them. What a hard life to live with the decisions and mistakes us imperfect humans make. I also think these sentences are very long.

These are people too and not just convicts! They have a story and like many of us, they made mistakes. Girls can really learn from these women. I really hope that they turn their life around and do good, I have faith in them!! I got ripped off buying season one! There was only three episodes and then it stopped!?!
