Red's Family is a group within Litchfield Penitentiary headed by Galina "Red" Reznikov.
Red's Family is pretty much destroyed in Season 6 due to Piper (due to thinking red’s action had killed Alex) and Blanca blaming Red for the riot as to get lesser time, and Red thinking Frieda blamed her for the riot even though Frieda blamed Taystee, Nicky supporting Barbara in the prison war and the rest of her family (Big Boo, Yoga Jones etc.) being transferred to the Ohio prison. Alex Vause could be argued to be Red's last ally, however she does defend Piper against Red. Red eventually joins Carol's group.
Active Members
- Galina "Red" Reznikov - Leader
- Nicky Nichols - One of Red's daughters.
- Lorna Morello - A current member of the group. Red supported her in prison social movements because of her great influence.
- Alex Vause - Red helped Alex hide Aydin's body, after which the two became closer.
- Piper Chapman - Initially, they had an extremely bad relationship due to Piper's behavior, but after they became cellmates, the two began to care for each other. When Piper had a swastika on her arm marked by Maria, Red felt sorry for her and helped her transform her swastika into a window with Norma and Alex.
Unofficial Members
Inmates who are not officially part of the 'family', but are frequently seen with them:
- Tiffany Doggett - After holding a vomit bag for Nicky Nichols, Nicky invites Tiffany to eat lunch with her and the rest of the family, there are mixed reactions, but people come to the conclusion that she's changed. Tiffany and Piper have their first normal conversation after their fight in "Cant Fix Crazy". Later, Red comes over and does not question it.
- Gloria Mendoza - Initially, they did not like each other because of the competition of both in the kitchen. After Red returned as head of the kitchen, they both began to be more sensible to each other.
- Big Boo - Boo betrayed Red for the benefit of Vee and was expelled from the family; however, she has begun to reluctantly gain confidence and inclusion again.
- Alana Dwight
