Litchfield Penitentiary: Litchfield penitentiary is the primary location where the Netflix original series’ Orange is the New Black takes place. Located in New York, USA this is a fantasy setting that houses both a minimum security and a maximum-security prison. Minimum Security is the space where inmates that have not convicted any serious felonies coexist. This place is referred to as “the camp” and is where the inmates have most freedom out of all the correction camps. The Minimum-security camp also includes a Security Housing Unit (SHU) and a psychiatric ward. These two spaces are described as single cells where there is not much care provided for the prisoners. In the SHU prisoners are locked 24/7 and only have a couple showers a week. Food is delivered through a hole and all there is inside the cell is a bed and a toilet. Inmates end up isolated in this unit when they break the rules at the camp. For example, disrespecting an officer or having a bad behaviour in general. The psychiatric ward, on the other hand, follows the same speculations as for the SHU, inmates are isolated in the “psych” when they show dangerous psychotic behaviours. To control these behaviours prisoners are drugged and chained to beds until they are considered to be safe around other and sent back to the camp. Inmates at the camp can have visitation hours once a week, although if they are in the solitary cells or in psych their visitation hours will be cancelled. Jobs are assigned to every inmate residing the Litchfield penitentiary. Salary goes from 11 cents an hour. There are different job positions for example: -        Janitors: the staff in this team is in charge of cleaning the facility. -        Electrical: inmates in this team are taught basic electrical skills. They are in charge of fixing the machinery when it breaks down, fixing the lights and several other electric items that are passed to them for fixation. -        Kitchen: the job at the kitchen is to feed 250 inmates(around) and the staff at Litchfield Penitentiary. There is a person in charge and a team to help with the tasks in the kitchen. -        Laundry: Washing, drying and folding. Inmates working in this section oversee the uniforms and clothing of staff and other inmates. -        Commissary: here is where inmates get their goodies from, starting from candy or ramen noodles, to general things that they are allowed to have in the camp. -        Sewing factory: This was implemented in season 3 episode 6, where inmates form part of a lingerie company and are trained to sew panties that are sold at a very high price and inmates only get a very low/unfair percentage of the value. -        Transportation: Only one inmate is assigned to take the transportation job. Transportation is used to take inmates to medical appointments, transport prisoners from Minimum Security to the Maximum-Security camp down the hill.
