What is the name of the jail that Piper from "Orange Is The New Black" serves her sentence?
Answer
Litchfield Penitentiary
Answer
Litchfield Penitentiary
Piper from "Orange Is the New Black" serves her sentence at Litchfield Penitentiary. The prison is a fictional minimum-security federal women's prison located in Litchfield, New York, in the series.
Piper Chapman is sentenced to 15 months for helping her former girlfriend, Alex Vause, transport drug money internationally. Her conviction comes years after the offense, when she has built a new life in New York and become engaged to Larry.
Litchfield is not a real federal penitentiary, although Litchfield is the name of a real town in New York. The television series is loosely based on Piper Kerman's memoir, whose real-life prison setting was FCI Danbury in Connecticut. Later episodes also introduce Litchfield Maximum Security, a separate facility to which several inmates are transferred.
A common mix-up is calling the prison simply "Litchfield" or confusing it with Danbury. The quiz's answer gives the full fictional prison name used in the show.
