EXCLUSIVE: Alysia Reiner on her 'OITNB' return and Natalie Figeroa's new stint at Litchfield

Alysia says that 'one of the most interesting things about being on the show was talking about the industrialization and privatization of the prison system.'

Litchfield can now have its sense of peace, for the former warden Natalie Figeroa, a.k.a. Fig is back in the game! She returns as a temporary warden at the maximum security prison facility for women prisoners. And this time around, she's here to stay.

Fig, played by Alysia Reiner, has always been the badass woman on the show, and has proved time and again that she is not someone to be messed with, even in the least. As she struts about the corridors of the prison with her "I-don't-care" attitude, she commands the spite and respect of all the inmates of the max.
