Quotes:
Arun Parmar: [throwing her clothes at Janine] Why don't you give her these as well? Take everything! And, if that's not enough, then come back and take my life because I would rather be dead than beaten up.
Arun Parmar: Look, all Natalie wants is for you to stop being a grass. So just learn your lesson.
Arun Parmar: [raises her top to reveal her badly bruised body] Look what you did to me, Janine.
Janine Nebeski: Look, I didn't want to, did I? I had to... otherwise it is me that's gonna end up friggin' dead.
Arun Parmar: I don't know how you can live with yourself.

what i think of this series, 29 November 2005
Author: fairyfootsteps123 from United Kingdom

I started watching this series at the beginning of the airing of series six. By the end of it, i had seen all the other episodes of all the other series. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen. It is addictive and you do get a genuine feel for the story lines - you cannot watch one episode without forming loads of opinions. People claim its unrealistic, it is not - as assured by the producers, everything in the show is possible in a real prison. Agreed, it may not happen to the same people, as in the series but give the show a break - its a TV series! It has to be exciting and it really really is. It is moving and the story lines are real and in most cases relevant to thew outside world as well, in my opinion. It is serious and can be upsetting but it is also one of the best acted and best written shows I've ever seen! I cannot wait for the next series!
