I remember the exact moment I realized that prisons were a big business. It was 1995, and I was visiting a friend whose partner was a big ad guy. He had a pile of prison magazines, like glossy magazines for and about prisons. Glossy prison mags with glossy prison ads for prison shit.

as problematic as Orange is the New Black is/was, it was the first time I saw that aspect of prisons depicted, which was interesting and upsetting.
