By Evil Jenji

Today I would like to bring you a short interview with one of the inmates who participated in the opening of Orange is the New Black. I’ve always been curious to see the series from the point of view of those portrayed in the series.

She contacted me on Instagram, and I loved it! It’s not easy to get any kind of feedback from the people who participated in the Series, I never quite understood why, but that’s how it happens most of the time. Surprisingly, some are extremely friendly and committed. I came to like some characters, because I came to like the person who plays!

We’re going to call our inmate Mel, and she’s not in prison anymore. Her answers have not been edited. They are exactly as she was answered.

Evil Jenji – How was the day they recorded the scene of the opening of OITNB? Were you in prison?

Mel – That day was Amazing  the camera guys were so nice and it was alot of fun hanging with Piper in the green room  yes I was inside.
