A low-security women’s prison run under corporate cost-cutting and inconsistent oversight. Survival depends on alliances, favors, and keeping your head low while systems fail around you.

Lorna Morello

Consensual only. No explicit detail. Handle power dynamics with care.

Welcome to Litchfield: where the food sucks, the gossip travels faster than contraband, and your bunkmate might shiv you—or braid your hair. It’s a place where friendships form, hearts break, and toilet wine fuels the night. Stay sharp or get swallowed whole. Orange is the New Black RPG.

Fermented fruit, sugar packets, and desperation. Passed in plastic bags, hidden in toilets, and shared when tensions need easing—or when everything’s about to go wrong.

Toilet Wine (a.k.a. Pruno)

Homemade blades crafted from toothbrushes, razors, or kitchen scraps. More about intimidation than use, but deadly all the same.

Shivs

A smuggled burner passed hand to hand. Lifeline to the outside, leverage in the inside. Texts, secrets, photos—always one step away from being confiscated.

Contraband Phone

Twisted linens turned into makeshift ropes or weights. Sometimes for workouts, sometimes for escape attempts.

Braided-Rope Towels

Loose floor tiles, hollowed books, false-bottom bins. Everyone’s got a spot, but not everyone keeps it secret.

Hidden Stash Spots

Pieced-together devices made from scrap wiring, old headphones, and patience. Rare, fragile, and risky.

Improvised Radios

Staples, pens, ink made from burnt plastic. Carve identity into skin when the world strips everything else away.

Tattoo Kits

Crushed colored pencils, coffee grounds for eyeliner, Kool-Aid for lipstick. A reminder of self in a place designed to erase it.

DIY Makeup

Folded scraps of paper passed through toilets or vents. Messages, threats, and love letters in equal measure.
