You're right, change that to just a southern accent unless there's something she's said that hints at that. Paula Deen pre-racism scandal.

That's what I thought too. In that place everyone would probably know this was Chapman's thing and something associated with the white inmates. The Latinas would be suspicious. Maybe add to that that the other women might not have as positive associations with "law and order." Adding on a person spreading the word to…

That's maybe also meant to be a comment on the real world and what happens when you stoke racist sentiment thinking you can make it work for you without getting out of control.

Yes, she accidentally starts a white power group but she doesn't want to join it.

I think that actually might be what they were going for. There's nothing subtle about the scene—I think the song underlines how obvious this should have been all along. It really is just that on the nose and OTT. Only Piper didn't get it until the song's actually blasting.

Yeah, I think maybe some people legitimately forgot she doesn't know he's married or assume she's figured that out, but to me it seems pretty central to Martha's character that Clark absolutely is not with some other woman. The fear must be there at times, of course, but she's not accepting it consciously and it's not…

Yeah, because we specifically have this presented as a problem they're having, and whether or not menstrual cups would be a good solution, it was the one problem we knew the inmates were having and nobody showed any interest. They already consider these things non-essentials.

I'd bet if she was hearing the story about somebody else doing it she'd think that person was a fool and see what was coming, but all she can see here is her own intentions. She probably assumes that since she has no racist intentions that she admits, and she's not the type of person who would ever associate with…

I think it's more that was she really wanted was someone she felt special to. The eagerness for sex was to make him her boyfriend, but if he can be her special friend without that she'd still be interested. She wants the attention from a daddy desperately, more than she wants sex with a guy who's 40.

If you're that grossed out by anyone seeing your dirty cup with stuff still clinging to the sides by all means don't use it. I think many people would be thrilled to have the option. Which they don't seem to have at the moment.

I think we've still seen it this season. They're full at rush hour times that make showering difficult but nobody's constantly waiting for a bathroom stall at all times of day that we've seen.

Yes, Martha's giving a cover story. The only truth in "he's married" for her is that she believes he's married to her.

Also I think the show's pretty clear about how an environment where callousness is tolerated and even encouraged with easy victims within reach is going to bring that out in people even more than it might have been brought out anyway.

Sure, I can easily see problems that would come if they tried to make this some one-time solution where you hand each prisoner a cup and that's it. They require options and back ups and maintenance. But none of that has to do with them destroying the plumbing or being humiliating or being unworkable in a prison…

I wouldn't force everybody to use one—there are some people that couldn't, as well as people who just wouldn't want to. But it seems like you're saying nobody should have them in prison because of your personal emotions about them. There's not even always a line in the bathroom. We see them empty or nearly empty a lot.

Yes, that's what I assumed would be happening and I'm still not seeing a problem. You dump the contents in the toilet and then rinse it in the sink. Is uterine lining more damaging to the pipes than feces?

I'm not so sure they'd all find it so humiliating given the forced intimacy they already live with especially. You don't hold cups of your blood, you dump the blood in the toilet wipe your hand with toilet paper, rinse it out in the sink/wash your hands and return to the stall to put it back in. I think there are some…

Why would the plumbing or overcrowding make cups a bad idea?

To me it seemed like it could be silly, but when I thought about it—these women being bathroom cleaners and this being totally a thing I'm sure happens in that situation—it struck me as really realistic!

Yes, her world is basically the prison, so she doesn't think past the prison when looking for things about the world.
