There is a review in the Chicago Tribune, but I can't access it due to being in an EU country and GDPR Million_Moments (talk) 19:31, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Beatrice Codianni is "Esposito"

• Codianni, Beatrice. "What You Won’t See on Orange Is the New Black." Ms Magazine. July 16, 2015.

It states that the "Esposito" in the book is Beatrice Codianni WhisperToMe (talk) 17:46, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

BTW Codianni herself revealed her identity so there isn't any BLP issue. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:20, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Disputed Hartford Courant article

There was a 2004 Hartford Courant article in which "Barbara", a former prisoner, talks about the prison

• Tuohy, Lynne. "Don't Worry, Martha, It's Like A Big Hotel." Hartford Courant. September 19, 2004.

However in Orange is the New Black the book Piper Kerman said the Tuohy article had inaccuracies. I'm going to cite the ebook, eISBN 978-0-385-53026-2

• location 1415: "Levy" is a French-Moroccan Jewish woman at FCI Danbury
• location 3123: Kerman and the other prisoners learned about the article and realized "Barbara" was "Levy"
• location 3130: Kerman said Levy made the prison look better than it actually was
• location 3137: Kerman said that Tuohy included some minor inaccuracies; she said that the CD player claim, the number of nuns, and the Haagen Dasz claims were not true, and that the inmates were very upset at the Haagen Dasz claim. She also said the women were very angry at Levy/Barbara.

Since Kerman used false names for almost everyone in her memoir I will assume that Levy is also a false name WhisperToMe (talk) 12:19, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
