Charles Ford is a former Corrections Officer at Litchfield Penitentiary. He is portrayed by Germar Terrell Gardner.
Personality[edit | edit source]
He is shown to be a kind CO that will occasionally joke with the Litchfield inmates. He is responsible, as seen when Miss Rosa mentions that he checks on the van and Morello once an hour when they are at the hospital for Miss Rosa's chemo, which not all COs bother to do.
However, he has a callous streak as seen when he coldly tells Morello that Miss Rosa is dying and muses on how rubbish it must be to die in prison, deliberately all in front of Miss Rosa.
