But Tamera, 40, wanted to know if jail was exactly like Orange is the New Black. She asked Jeannie what it's like to take showers and if prison cuts your hair. "The first shower is not fun...it's with hose and you have to bend down and grab your ankles...and NO they don't cut your hair!" Jeannie continued. "But we do have group showers."
