Overview

Before Litchfield

Nothing is known about Maxwell's life before she started to work at Litchfield.

Season One

When Piper and Larry arrive at Litchfield, Maxwell goes over Piper’s paperwork with someone over the phone. She tells the person her crime, and name. They seem to have a hard time hearing her, as she uses chapped lips to get across her last name, Chapman, and the word sniper to get across her first name, Piper. Two hours later, she gets annoyed at Piper and Larry for having a phone in the facility and makes Larry take it outside. Soon after, CO Wanda Bell also asks her to get a phone number for Larry so he can send Piper’s check to get processed. ("I Wasn't Ready").

Elique is a constant smoker. In several episodes, she is seen smoking either a regular cigarette or an electronic cigarette. Piper accidentally catches Elique smoking on prison grounds while she's snooping around; to which Piper says, "Well...I won't tell if you don't".

Maxwell and O'Neill save Fischer from an angry Miss Claudette who is attacking her. ("Fool Me Once").

Season Three

Maxwell walks out on Joe Caputo along with the other guards (excluding Joel Luschek), claiming it is unfair to work in such awful conditions that MCC is introducing. ("Trust No Bitch")
