'It's the truth that's going to make you her bitch'

Bennett's concerns about going to jail as a sex offender - and the doomladen music accompanying Pornstache's discovery of Tricia's dead body - show us that the oppression machine doesn't discriminate. The inmates are closer to the cutting edges, but the COs aren't much further away. The machine will chew them up just as happily.

The 'family meeting' with Bennett is hard to read: is he being subjected to blackmail, or just reminded to do the right thing?

Pornstache may be utterly repellent, but he has a real sense of ceremony, occasion and the poetry lurking within prose. 'Walk - in an orderly fashion'.

'Are you seeing this'. I'm reluctant to comment on the Piper/Alex reaction to Pennsatucky's miraculous healings. Minor spoilers I've seen suggest I'm being misled. And I'd need a better understanding of American society to really get it. We've done race, we've done class, now we're doing culture wars.

Inmates and officers alike are having fun with the Scared Straight sequence. Even Piper. 'Pablo Neruda'. If I'm ever locked in prison, and I say or write to you 'Pablo Neruda', you'll know I'm OK. Don't forget. It could happen.
