《女子监狱》是根据 Piper Kerman的回忆录《Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison》改编而成，描述了主人公Piper（Taylor Schilling）在大学里结识了一名女毒贩Alex Vause（Laura Prepon），在交往过程中，主人公Piper曾帮女毒贩运黑钱过关。10年后，女主角结识了男人Larry Bloom，并与之相爱。谁知噩耗传来，警方逮捕女毒贩Alex Vause，Piper遭到牵连，因10年前运黑钱事件被判入狱服刑15个月。Piper的社会经验很少，面对糟糕的新环境有些不知所措。在联邦女子监狱内，她将第一次领略什幺是「监狱文化」——这里有敌意，有包容，有眼泪，有欢笑，也有爱。她虽然得到了一群性格坦率的女囚犯的认可，但她的牢狱生活绝不会一帆风顺。据称该剧和《单身毒妈》（Weeds）是同类剧集，都属于「涉毒黑色喜剧」。第66届艾美奖中该剧拿到了艾美奖12项提名。
