According to the official synopsis of the season, OITNB season 5 will take place in real time and over the course of three days, “leaving the inmates’ lives forever changed as they are emboldened to fight for redemption, resolution and the respect they deserve.”

In the season four finale, Poussey Washington was killed in a scene inspired by the real-life death of Eric Garner and the "I Can't Breathe" and Black Lives Matter movement.

In the episode, directed by Matthew Weiner, the creator of “Mad Men,” Poussey was accidentally suffocated by CO Bayley during what started off as a peaceful demonstration to protest Captain Piscatella's treatment of the inmates.
