Great thoughts. I haven't really considered this, but you're right. We're all just one bad decision away from changing the rest of our lives in the worst way. And what would it take to push us to the edge? Maybe something that's beyond the realm of reality. But maybe not? It's easy to judge the people we see on television and the news, but I feel like we're all capable of doing things we're not proud of. Thanks for sharing!

OMG, yes. I know exactly what you mean! I had this concern a few years ago when a friend was accused of murder in a situation that ANYONE could have been in. After years on trial, he was acquitted. It was the scariest thing, ever. xo

I love books like that, but I remember seeing it when it first came out-- or at least before it was famous, lol, and there was something about it that just didn't totally draw me in. I've been wondering if it's worth reading though, so hearing this I'll probably skip it. I liked season 1, but only watched bits and pieces of season 2 and I couldn't really get into it. But I know none of that is the point of this post... I think you're right that it does make you think and it is a good reminder that small decisions can have big impacts!

I actually feel the opposite. I'm 100% confident I'll never go to prison because I know I'd do poorly while there so even though I've made some very bad decisions in my life, I know none of them can land me in jail or prison even if they do catch up to me. I've always made sure to stay on just this side of the law with my bad choices.

I believe I'm in the minority who doesn't like this show. We tried it when it first came out. Does it get better as the seasons move along?
I don't know if good person/bad person makes a difference. I had to go to the county clerk to pay a speeding ticket last week and I was all, "Crap, these people here are really in trouble…am I one of them?" Who knows how we end up the situations we do, I guess.

This is an awesome show. If I wound up in prison, I imagine I'd be shanked. I have a temper without caffeine and you have to have money for the commissary to get caffeine there. So…yeah…

I have never watched this show, but I totally get what you are saying about how scary it is that one little action in our past could have changed the road our life drove down! I for one can think back to numerous things I have done when I was younger that could have ended badly. Just crazy!

You are always so insightful! I already know I wouldn't do so well in prison... no surprise there. I haven't watched any OITNB, but I've been meaning to check it out. Maybe it will be our next series!

I've always had a fear of being accused of something I didn't do & end up in prison – I've had that fear since I was little. Don't know what that says about me. But this show reinforces my fear, for sure.
