Her Crime
In real life, Piper Kerman fell for someone she calls Nora in her book and got caught up in…you guessed it, an international drug ring. On the show, this Nora character is called Alex (Laura Prepon). So, long story short she ended up smuggling $10,000 from Illinois to Belgium while with Nora. Fast forward ten years and it came back to haunt her. Reflecting on her mistakes in her early twenties, Piper Kerman told NPR, “It was a reckless and selfish time in my life.”
