Cheesecake Making
On my drive home from out of town a few days ago, I heard Piper Kerman describing her prison cheesecake recipe during a Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! segment on NPR. What struck me as particularly remarkable about the whole thing is Kerman's open embrace of her mistakes that led to time in prison but ended up being a profitable venture for her. Having watched a few episodes of the show, it was illuminating to hear the first person perspective. Her narrative seems to be that, she continues to make the best of her past misadventures and create value for others along the way. This would all be quite wonderful and even inspirational, if Kerman did not exude such an air of nonchalant privilege. It was hard to see how her triumphant re-entry to society could be replicated even remotely by the average incarcerated person.
