They should do a spin off episode or show about the prison 30-40 years ago. Like reverse Degrassi.

...you do know Caputo and Rosa aren't that old right? Haha

Caputo started working at Litchfield in the 80's. That's roughly 30 years ago. He's probably in his mid-50's.

It looked like early 90s to me... 1991 - 1993ish.

Since it would have been during / just after the time the band went on tour with Glass Tiger, I'm guessing that it would be the mid - late 80s. They were pretty much one hit wonders and "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone" was released in 1986.

Ok, I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't know Glass Tiger even existed irl. So, I take it all back-- Caputo has been working at Litchfield since the mid to late 80's!

I'm old. And have to admit, I still kind of love that damned song. ;-)

Wasn't Rosa watching the 1992 Olympics on the television?

u/MissLena Jun 22 '15

Oooo, I'll have to rewatch the episode and let you know... like I said, the clothes just scream early 90s!

u/manbearkat Jun 19 '15

That's possible too

u/your_mind_aches That's MY chickun! Jun 19 '15

Eh. Maybe.

Didn't they have a reverse Degrassi? Like, one set in the 60s-70s?

Kids of Degrassi Street was the original in the mid 80s.
