Abstract
This essay examines the depiction of labor in the Netflix series Orange Is the New
Black, paying specific attention to gender and race. It argues that the program’s
interest in the historical link between coerced prison labor and enslavement in the
United States, as well as the more recent implication of prison privatization in the
neoliberal assault on labor rights, is undermined by its privileging of affective and
interpersonal dynamics over political solidarity
