Nicole Eckelkamp is an inmate at Litchfield Penitentiary Maximum Security. She is portrayed by Alice Kremelberg.
Physical Appearance[]
She has long brown hair and blue eyes.
Personality[]
Nicole is one of Carol's girls, and reports to Madison. She does whatever Madison says, going as far as taking a dump on D-block's clothes whilst they are in the dryer, without any shame. However she is also shown to be less of a bully than the other women in Carol's gang. She is quite impulsive, and doesn't seem to be very intelligent. She has somewhat of a confusing moral compass, as she goes from nearly killing her best friend to being kind enough to let Lorna skip her in the line. Despite her brash actions, she is usually nice and friendly to everyone. She is also extremely giddy, laughing hysterically before a joke is even finished.

Nicole Eckelcamp is first seen when she bumps into Flaca. She and Charlene Teng tell Flaca they know her from her riot videos. Teng says she liked 'the other one' more, but Eckelcamp says she finds Flaca more relatable and that she is a fan.

Badison asks her why she is laughing, since she can't possibly understand the joke because Eckelcamp is not aware of Piper's real last name - Chapman. Badison blames Eckelcamp for ruining her joke by laughing to early. Later on, Eckelcamp punishes Akers for initially refusing to swap cells with Alex Vause, by suffocating Akers whilst she was sleeping.

Carol orders Eckelcamp and the others to bring shivs to the game and to use them to stab the D-Block inmates, but to leave Barbara to her. Eckelcamp and the others then all display their loyalty by participating in a yell.
