A Privileged Woman Meets America's Harshest Truth
What happens when a Smith College graduate with a comfortable life finds herself wearing prison khakis and an inmate number? Piper Kerman's memoir isn't your typical prison story-it's a searing examination of America's broken justice system through the eyes of someone who never expected to end up there. After a youthful dalliance with international drug smuggling came back to haunt her a decade later, Kerman spent thirteen months in federal prison. Her story became a cultural phenomenon, spending over a year on bestseller lists and inspiring a groundbreaking Netflix series. But beneath the intrigue lies something more urgent: a firsthand account of how America punishes its citizens, who gets caught in the net, and why the system fails almost everyone it touches. This isn't just Kerman's story-it's a mirror held up to a nation that incarcerates more people than any other country on earth.
