Informants
On Orange is the New Black, the romance between Piper and Alex faces conflict over whether Alex named Piper as an informant. In real life, Cleary explains that everyone named people, saying, “They had picked the first round of us up two years prior to Piper’s somewhat congenial visit from the feds. So, yes, I named her, she named me, and we all named each other. Fact was, we all thought we were doing the right thing, confessing, getting protection, and saving ourselves from certain death at the hands of a Nigerian drug lord who we knew would soon find we had all been arrested.”
