1 continuity mistake in Ching Chong Chang - chronological order
Starring: Jason Biggs, Kate Mulgrew, Taylor Schilling, Michelle Hurst
Genres: Drama
Character mistake: The officers count the inmates and say there's 10 missing. There are indeed 10 inmates hiding in the pool. However, Pennsatucky and Chang had escaped the prison. The officers counted Linda as an inmate, who had been hiding in Litchfield the whole season, and wasn't on the list. That would make it 11 people missing, not 10.
Piper Chapman: Sorry about your dildo, Boo. Cost of doing business. I'll make it up to you.
Big Boo: Damn, Chapman. That is some stone-cold shit.
Piper Chapman: I don't fuck around.
Trivia: In the flashback scene when Gloria is being arrested outside her store, there is a cardboard cut out of Andrew McCarthy, who is an actor from the 80's (Mannequin, Weekend at Bernie's, etc) and also directs a few episodes. (00:32:40)
Question: Why do some inmates wear orange uniforms and others wear light brown? This to show who's new there?

Answer: On the show, orange uniforms are worn by the new inmates, while the khaki is the longer-term population. Generally, there's no standardized meaning of the colors as every prison has their own color-coding system. For example, red could mark more dangerous inmates. Other colors could indicate lower-risk prisoners, ones with health issues, area designations, and so on.
