#Empire season 2 episode 1 raping in jail crack
Cherry juice for my smoothies, purple kale.” He goes into the vegan cookies, whole roasted almonds with the sugar coating - crack almonds. “Grocery List Sex” (Season 1, Episode 3) : “Are those groceries?” asks Piper, talking to Larry on the prison payphone. The next day she’s served a dirty tampon on an English muffin, following a painful few days of being “starved out.” And in front of the cafeteria’s dictatress, Red. “It comes in cans marked ‘Desert Storm.’” Huddled in the prison womb and feeling a little too cozy at her first breakfast, Piper lets slip what everyone already knows - the food is disgusting - but would never say out loud. Quickly, Piper is initiated into Litchfield’s cafeteria culture. “The Tampon Muffin” (Season 1, Episode 1): From the get-go, OITNB makes it clear that food is a weapon used to divide and disgust. Below, a look back through OITNB’s most ferocious food moments. (Tip: Kool-Aid, when mixed with Vaseline, makes a quick, tasty lip gloss, à la Sophia.) And where so many television shows choose not to portray female characters’ appetites and eating habits - especially in such a primal way - OITNB points the camera directly at these moments. Inmates save up for commissary, pass each other ramen packets, and make homemade hooch from moldy bread, Kool-Aid, and old fruit. On so many occasions, the food in Orange Is the New Black is a device that moves the plot along or settles on a simple point: the novelty of eating (or drinking) for pleasure. But, like high school, mealtimes are when Litchfield’s cliques form, disintegrate, and face off. There is no high-school-style sulking in the bathroom.
Whether on hunger strike or in chemotherapy, showing up to the cafeteria is obligatory. Barely an episode goes by without a cafeteria scene, the setting for a tri-daily tableau where prisoners are forced to cohabitate as one seething, hungry organism. Other times, it’s a reward, a symbol of alliance and an olive branch. At times, it’s divisive - a punishment for making the wrong move. At Litchfield, food becomes everything from a vessel for conflict to a talisman imbued with spiritual energy. But despite the lack of variety, the way food is dealt with is no less complicated than it is for women on the outside. The women at Litchfield Penitentiary technically have only one option when it comes to food.
