With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money ten years before. But that past has caught up with her. Convicted and sentenced to fifteen months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, the well-heeled Smith College alumna is now inmate #11187–424—one of the millions of people who disappear “down the rabbit hole” of the American penal system. From her first strip search to her final release, Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its strictly enforced codes of behavior and arbitrary rules. She meets women from all walks of l
Piper Eressea Kerman[2] (born September 28, 1969) is an American memoirist whose experiences in prison on felony money-laundering charges provided the basis for the comedy-drama series Orange Is the New Black.
Piper Kerman was born in Boston[1] into a family with many doctors, attorneys and educators.[1] She graduated from Smith College[3] in 1992.
Kerman published her best-selling memoir about her experiences in prison, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison, in 2010. An adaptation of the same name by Jenji Kohan, the Emmy award-winning creator of Weeds, debuted in July 2013 on Netflix. Kerman's character in the series ("Piper Chapman") is played by Taylor Schilling. The program was renewed for a third season before season 2 premiered.[7]
Kerman serves on the board of the Women's Prison Association and is a frequently invited speaker to students of law, criminology, gender and women's studies, sociology, and creative writing, and also to groups that include the American Correctional Association's Disproportionate Minority Confinement Task Force, federal probation officers, public defenders, justice reform advocates and volunteers, book clubs, and formerly and currently incarcerated people.
On February 25, 2014, Kerman testified at a hearing on "Reassessing Solitary Confinement" before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights chaired by Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin.[8]
Kerman was the 2014 recipient of the Justice Trailblazer Award from the John Jay College Center on Media, Crime & Justice.[9]
At present, Kerman works as a communications strategist for nonprofits.
Kerman has stated, "I’m bisexual so, I’m a part of the gay community". She says she came out of the closet at "either 18 or 19" and identified as a lesbian for most of her youth. Kerman says she had relationships with many women, and her husband Larry Smith, a writer,[2] and creator of the popular concept of Six-Word Memoirs,[11] is "the only guy I’ve ever dated."[12] On May 21, 2006, Kerman and Smith married.
