<P> Patricia `` Tricia '' Miller ( played by Madeline Brewer ) -- An inmate who grew up on the streets and one of the youngest inmates . She is a drug addict and lesbian who sports a tattoo on her throat and cornrows . While outside prison , Tricia showed kleptomaniac tendencies , often taking things that she promised herself she would later pay for , reasoning she would not be a thief if she did so . She kept a list of all the things she ever stole with the intention of settling all her debts when she had the money . She is caught by Miss Claudette attempting to plant drugs in her girlfriend Mercy 's bunk so she would get more time , but ultimately backs down and lets her girlfriend get released . She asks Piper to help her in writing her letter of appeal so that she can get out faster and be with Mercy , although she has not been able to contact her . Tricia gets drugs from the prison guard Mendez in exchange for sexual favors . When he is late with his deliveries , she goes into drug withdrawal and is taken to the SHU . Due to Red 's intolerance for drugs and it being her `` second offense '' , Tricia is ejected from Red 's `` family '' . Red later admits that she had only intended Tricia 's ejection to be temporary , and to force her to learn her lesson . Mendez tries to blackmail her into selling drugs for him again , though she tells him she wants to be clean again . Later , Mendez notices that she is in a drugged out state , and realizing that she has helped herself to some of his stash , and that this might reveal the presence of drugs in the prison , he quickly hides her in an empty broom cupboard . After discovering she was specifically requested for a Scared Straight visit with delinquent kids , he returns to get her , and discovers that she is dead , revealing that she had in fact taken the entire bag -- most likely in a final act of sacrifice to protect Red and her family . In a panic , he manipulates the situation to make it look like a suicide by hanging . A grieving Red blames herself for driving Tricia away . The truth of her death is never discovered by the administration , although Nicky quickly deduces what happened and tells Red . </P>
