[For the most part, this file is complete and unaltered; however, there is one section that Tiffany has drawn over with black marker, enough to obscure the text completely.]
Tiffany Doggett grew up in poverty, in a large family (including extended members) where she didn't get much individual attention. Drug use and incarceration ran rampant among her friends and family members. She became a meth addict herself, and she Apparently this HTML isn't supported on all devices so if you're just seeing this as regular text, pretend it's a long black box because that's what it looks like to me. I have to make this long enough for it to appear ~*authentic*~; I suppose I could just write out the actual text of what would have been there before she marked it out but I don't want someone mousing over it unprepared so this is how it will have to be
After reporting two inmates for "lesbian activity" (really just sexually-charged dancing) and getting one of them (Piper Chapman) thrown into solitary for a few days, some of the other inmates conspired to get revenge for this (and for her preaching and unpleasantness in general) by tricking her into thinking that she was a faith-healer - they pretended to have various ailments, and let her "fix" them. This came to a head when a group of juvenile delinquents were brought on a prison tour as a deterrent method. One of the most stubborn kids, a teenage girl in a wheelchair, was left alone in a bathroom, and Piper told Tiffany that "there [was] a soul in the bathroom that [needed] saving". After removing the girl from her wheelchair and attempting to heal her legs, Tiffany was hauled off to the prison psych ward. After an intake interview in which she insisted that God had given her healing powers and that she and all the other prisoners had proof, she was diagnosed as delusional and admitted. After hearing from another inmate how bad the psych ward was (not much psychiatric help actually happened; prisoners instead spent most of their time strapped down and continually sedated), Piper admitted to the higher-ups that Tiffany's belief that she could faith-heal was based on a prank, not on delusions. Tiffany was released after just a few days, though she was noticeably affected by the experience: she was depressed, her self-confidence was shot, and her belief in God was shaken. A concerned friend contacted her lawyer, who came to visit and encourage her. He reassured her that God not stopping bad things from happening didn't mean He didn't exist, and told her that maybe God wanted her to forgive Piper and lead her to Him.
Inspired by her lawyer's words, Tiffany sat down and had a civil talk with Piper, in which she explained her feelings about God and expressed how hurt she had been that the other inmates had used her faith to trick her. She convinced Piper to pray for God's forgiveness. When Piper did so, Tiffany hugged her - grudge and hate gone, just like that - and offered to baptize her. At first, Piper reluctantly agreed, but then changed her mind and explained that she was sorry, but she didn't feel right pretending that she believed in God just to placate Tiffany. Tiffany took this as an affront both to God and to herself, and remembered back to what her lawyer had said about God wanting to use her to help good people find Him. Maybe, she thought, the reverse was also true: maybe God also wanted to use her to punish bad people! She consulted her Bible, and opened to a page containing Luke 19:27 - ""But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence." She took this as a clear sign that God wanted her to kill Piper in His name. Over the next few days, she threatened Piper several times - once by leaving a dead rat and a death threat in her bunk, and then again by cornering her in the shower with a razor blade (she almost used it on Piper, but a guard interrupted them). Then later, while performing in the prison's annual Christmas pageant, she saw Piper get up out of her seat in the audience and leave. Tiffany sneaked off the stage and followed her, meeting her in the prison yard and attempting to stab her with a wooden cross that she'd sharpened. Tired of being stalked and harassed, Piper snapped, tackling Tiffany and beating her to a bloody pulp. She arrived on the Barge after losing consciousness.
[Here ends her official file; however, there are several handwritten notes added to the bottom. Strikeout text means that something has been scribbled over, but the words are still legible if looked at closely enough.]
12-25 I arrived on the Barge.
12-28 I told Mickey he was against God because he was gay.
1-12 I picked Zane's lock, broke into his room and stole his alcohol.
1-16 I let Dean think I was threatening him and we fought in the cafeteria.
1-26 I made a weapon, attempted murder on Vergil and went to 0.
3-18 I attacked a guy on the deck,I don't know his name. SNAFU
4-19 I mouthed off to wardens and double flipped them off on the warden filter.
In May I could not stop Roderick from killing multiple people one of who was my friend
10-30 I was insensitive to Ricki and then he thought I didn't care about how bad the Barge is.
[Then, in different-colored pen:]
I've made a lot of mistakes and so has everybody else on the Barge. I probably won't ever stop completely and neither will anybody else, but that's a part of life. I don't think writing down every single one is helpful anymore. Trying to make amends and learn from them is.

[A handwritten note graces the margins of this blacked-out section:]On her way out of the clinic after her fifth abortion, a disapproving nurse made a rude comment ("Number five, huh? We should give you a punch card: 'get the sixth one free'"). Tiffany headed out to her waiting friend's car to grab his rifle, went back into the clinic, and shot the nurse. At her trial, a lawyer from a Christian firm approached her and explained that he woul be representing her instead of her court-appointed public defender. Various extremist pro-lifers had heard about her actions and assumed that she did what she did as a protest against abortion, and a group of them had gotten together to fund her defense (and give a monthly stipend to her family while she served time). Tiffany started to explain that her reasons weren't religious, but her new lawyer cut her off and advised her to keep quiet about that. When they entered the courtroom, a group of people in the gallery cheered and applaud, waving signs that say things like "Tiffany for President", "Thank You, Tiffany", "Defender of the Unborn", etc. Tiffany was absolutely thrilled with this. Soon enough, she came to fully embrace the extremist form of Christianity that her lawyer espoused. She had committed a serious crime, and yet it gained her fame, fans, and complimentary legal counsel; she considered this to be a God-given miracle. She ended up being sentenced to do time at Litchfield Penitentiary, a federal prison in New York, where she spent a couple years before being pulled onto the Barge. She developed a group of friends and followers who were impressed with her status as "defender of the unborn", but most of the other prisoners were turned off by her preaching and religion-based bigotry. She also earned the nickname "Pennsatucky" (presumably a corruption of Pennsyltucky), which those close to her often shortened to "Tucky".
I got rid of this a long time ago because I didn't want to see it or think about it. All it said was that I got a reputation as someone who was easy for guys to do whatever they wanted to, because they mostly did not care whether I said no or not and so after a while I gave up on saying no at all.
