Orange Is The New Black Season 5 Review: 7 Ups And 4 Downs

4. Thank God For The Internet

While never taking center stage during the series, Flaca and Maritza get to realize their dreams of becoming YouTube stars. Cindy was turned into a meme, but the two became the real faces of Litchfield, with actual fans waiting for them in front of the prison. It's also thanks to the Internet that the girls are able to get their message across and present inmate abuse.

It's a shame that Taystee wastes their opportunity to make a change, but without the Internet, the prison would've been immediately taken over by a SWAT team.

The Internet allows the inmates to not only communicate with the outside world, but opens them up to new ideas and new things. Thanks to the web they are able to present themselves as actual human beings to the people on the outside. When the video of Piscatella abusing Alex hits one million views, it becomes evident that a change in the prison system is inevitable. All thanks to the exposure made available by the World Wide Web.
