I think the show is trying to point out that if Bailey was black, he'd already have a record when he got arrested at that water tower. So it's more likely he'd get jail time versus a warning or probation.

Yes, in most (possibly all) states, possession with intent can be established simply by having "too much" to be personal use. The amounts are generally codified. You can also trigger intent to sell if you have selling paraphernalia - baggies, a scale, etc.

Right, and those things escalate - maybe the ice cream store thing gets Black Bailey probation, and then the egging gets him a few months in county because now he has a record, and then the drug use in the park (or whatever it was, I forget) gets him a real charge with prison time.

Maybe she's secretly heading the Hawaiian prison system's Hawaiian gang. So they sent her as far away as possible.

Thanks!

That makes sense.

Ah, good point.

Oh, I bet that's it - she probably can't admit to using inside, even in the context of AA. She'd get in trouble.

It's not a murder at all, Lolly was clearly acting in self defense. Both legally and morally she's innocent. (I'm not saying the prison system or the courts would treat it that way, but we all know what happened.)

Oh, definitely not. I'm thinking he's projecting from his experience with his own mother (who wasn't violent as far as we've been told) and completely ignoring any contradictory evidence.

Doesn't the nurse offer her antidepressants in that same conversation? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

It's from TV Tropes, a character exported from another universe.

She's got the classic liberal white privilege thing going - she's opposed to overt racism until the minute doing anything about it would put her at risk or take away some kind of advantage she gets. Then she just "feels uncomfortable" and nothing else.

I don't think there is a more serious intervention available though, besides sedating the bejesus out of her. If she goes to Psych that's basically their only move.

I get the feeling that they are allowed to hand out antidepressants like candy, but anything more is supposed to be handled in the Psych unit, which is terrible. Way back in season 1 they offer Sophia antidepressants instead of the proper dose of estrogen she needs, even though she's not prescribed those either. Given…

She has a line in the first season referring to embezzlement (when all the inmates are trying to get Piper to help them with their appeals). So maybe she was embezzling money to support a habit.

I don't think the line is supposed to be cool. She's partially a Paula Deen expy and being "benevolently" racist is an aspect of that.

Oh, maybe it's the women's. My detail memory is sometimes garbage

Since he's from the men's max prison I'm assuming he's the only guard with any kind of training or experience, hence his mediocrity blows all the new guards out of the water. I'm thinking that's also why he's so worried about gangs and violence - he came from somewhere much worse than Litchfield.

Sure, my fiancé and I have test driven things without the dealer. That's why they take your license and copy it, so they can find you if you steal the car. Everywhere I've been to, the salesperson to actually looks at the test driver and compares them to the license picture though.
