Poussey Washington from Orange is the New Black
Although it’s easy to sympathize with many of the inmates at Litchfield, no character was so beloved as Poussey Washington (Samira Wiley), a good-natured, wholesome spirit who tugged on the heartstrings of prisoners and viewers alike. Poussey’s death was particularly appalling—she was suffocated to death by a guard after a peaceful prisoner protest. Her murder traumatized her friends to the point of mobilization, inspiring a prisoner’s revolt.
