Move over,Orange Is the New Black.""-Amy Dresner, author ofMy Fair Junkie When word got outthat Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she'd committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she'd been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends-their friends-were the ones who'd arrested her.
