A questions about "orange is the new black"

[Maraya1969]

When Crazy eyes pees in front of Piper does she really pee or is their some technique they use to simulate it. I just wonder if it is legal to do that on TV.

1. Interesting question

Don't know the answer. They had a scene in Veep recently where two male characters were using the urinals. I assume that was fake, despite the sound effects 😊

2. Just bought year two. Now that you have reminded me

I kinda regret it. I had forgotten that.

3. I'm sure it's legal. There's much more graphic things on television.

I imagine it had to be done with props because scenes normally take several takes. It wouldn't be necessary to have an actress actually pee on camera.
