7/9/16 Orange Is The New Black, 4th Season Rocked? (Netflix show)

    I just finished binge watching OITNB this week, and it was such an awesome season.  I laughed, I cried, I felt their hope, and felt their loss.  Even now, a day later I am tearing up at the thought of the last episode.  I won't give anything away, but as many new faces that joined the cast, some good characters were lost.
    The season picked up where the last one ended.  The girls are swimming in the lake, Vauss (Hot Donna) is under attack, and it is an intense start.  Caputo is under fire to get everything under control, and he brings in some heavies from the male prison, and eventually some veterans who have no problem abusing the inmates not just sexually but in creepy weird ways and looking the other way.
    Caputo starts seeing how "evil" corporate is as they take every opportunity to make as much from every prisoner yet take huge strides to avoid helping them in any way.  Even when one of them dies, corporate lets her body sit for days while they figure out the best strategy to avoid any blame going upstream.  Some old familiar faces make cameo appearances, it was overall perfect.
    With the doubling of the prison population, we start seeing factions form along race lines.  For some reason Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are the only "Mexicans" mentioned, but they become the biggest group by numbers and they start pushing their weight around.  A handful of white girls are trying to start a white power group, hating on everything that they see oppressing them.  Finally, the black girls are another large group, and although nobody is really trying to become a gang, Piper, because she is a way bigger pain in the ass than she realizes. puts it out in the air, rather "whispers" in the right ears and before you know it, people cannot assemble with groups of more than four or risk being labeled a gang and paying for it.
    Piper has a huge attitude thinking she is "gansta" since she sold her lover out and sent her to the maximum security prison, until Red rephrases what she did and makes her realize she is someone who can't be trusted.  Suddenly, she is walking in fear for her life from the Dominicans who have fallen under the leadership of Diaz, a previously quiet seemingly harmless mama who was busted for carrying drugs for a boyfriend.  She wants into Piper's panty business, but Piper just to be a dick, says no.  Piper is the one in the beginning that took us into prison, and we rooted for her, but she is such a short sighted individual with horrible self control.  She makes mistake after mistake, barely remembering she was to do her time quietly and get out.
    There promises to be even bigger drama next year, as they have started building a new dorm, not to ease crowding in the current ones, but to bring in another 100 "head of cattle".  Now that Litchfield is a for profit prison, the more heads, the more money.  It is a funny notion that the people sitting on the board have not even seen the inside of the prisons, yet they get to make decisions that directly affect the girls in a multitude of different ways.
