Orange is the New Black (second season coming soon!), based on the memoirs of Park Slope resident Piper Kerman, films mostly at Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, just one floor above the Sesame Street set. The creation of the prison set as explained in this video are meant to shape the world of Litchfield, but the show also focuses on life outside of the prison, both in real time and in flashbacks. These are a few of the interesting locations they have put to use.
Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury
This prison also makes an appearance in the film Blow, with Johnny Depp. Image Source: News Times.
