Prison inmates Poussey (Samira Wiley) and Brook (Kimiko Glenn) dance without music inside a makeshift cardboard time machine. So in the next episode, when prison manager Caputo (Nick Sandow) defends the guard who killed Poussey, it’s heinous but also understandable. OITNB is a long, heartfelt plea for prison reform, and this — Poussey’s last happy moment before dying in a chokehold — is an example of what showrunner Jenji Kohan is all about. But as Kohan seeds throughout this season, the system is designed only one way, to grind people down. This sweet girl, arrested for possession of half an ounce of marijuana, should not be in prison.
