Kerman Actively Gives Notes
Even though Orange Is the New Black has strayed from Kerman’s original story, Kohan still turns to her for advice. The showrunner explained of Kerman, “She gives notes, mostly about accuracy. You know, ‘I don’t think that would happen.’ And she comes to set for visits, which must be strange for her. But she’s really kind of trusted us with her baby and we really, completely took off from where she started.”

Real Former Prisoners
Something the fans cannot stop raving about is the opening credits. Yes, even the opening credits are emotional and raw. Apparently, Kohan hired real formerly incarcerated women for the sequence. During the shoot, these women were asked to imagine three different things. The first was “a peaceful place,” then a “person who makes you laugh,” and last, “something you want to forget.”
