Character mistake: At the end of the episode when Maria is framed for the prison panty business and told to expect an additional 3-5 years on her sentence she cries saying that her daughter Pepa will be in kindergarten by the time she gets out. However in season 2 episode 12 Maria tells Piper that she still has 6 years left on her sentence. This means that even without the extended sentence her baby would have been well past kindergarten age by the time she was released, so taking the extra 3-5 years into account, Pepa could be almost finished in elementary school by the time her mother got out of prison.

Starring: Jason Biggs, Kate Mulgrew, Taylor Schilling, Michelle Hurst
Genres: Drama
Factual error: Tiffany asks a guard where he would go if he could travel back in time. He says he would return to 1999 to attend a Judas Priest concert he missed. He says he wasn't able to get close to Rob Halford. The problem is Rob Halford was not the lead singer of Judas Priest in 1999. Tim 'Ripper' Owens was.
Piper Chapman: Sorry about your dildo, Boo. Cost of doing business. I'll make it up to you.
Big Boo: Damn, Chapman. That is some stone-cold shit.
Piper Chapman: I don't fuck around.
Trivia: In the flashback scene when Gloria is being arrested outside her store, there is a cardboard cut out of Andrew McCarthy, who is an actor from the 80's (Mannequin, Weekend at Bernie's, etc) and also directs a few episodes. (00:32:40)
Question: Why do some inmates wear orange uniforms and others wear light brown? This to show who's new there?

Answer: On the show, orange uniforms are worn by the new inmates, while the khaki is the longer-term population. Generally, there's no standardized meaning of the colors as every prison has their own color-coding system. For example, red could mark more dangerous inmates. Other colors could indicate lower-risk prisoners, ones with health issues, area designations, and so on.
