In July, Netflix began streaming the seventh and final season of its award-winning original series "Orange Is The New Black."
This marks the end of an era for viewers, who first watched Piper Chapman struggle to adjust to being in prison back in 2013. Now, it's time to say goodbye to Piper and the other inmates and workers at Litchfield Penitentiary.
Here's where all of your favorite characters from "Orange Is the New Black" end up.
Piper Chapman ends the series as a free woman struggling to adjust to life outside of prison.
During season seven, Piper Chapman is out of prison. She struggles with infidelity in her marriage with Alex Vause.
But eventually, she decides to put the past behind her by moving to Ohio to be closer to her wife, who is still at Litchfield. Piper also gets a job at Starbucks and begins studying civil procedure.
Alex Vause is still in Litchfield.
During the series finale, we see Piper and Alex becoming close once more. Since she is still in Litchfield, Alex befriends some fellow inmates from past seasons who you may remember: Big Boo, Norma Romano, Anita DeMarco, and Gina Murphy.
Once the queen of Litchfield Prison, Galina "Red" Reznikov suffers from memory loss during season seven.
After spending an extended period in solitary, Red begins to lose parts of her memory. As her mental state deteriorates, she is moved to the B-block of Maximum Security, also known as "Florida," which typically houses elderly inmates or individuals who need special protection or care, to spend the rest of her days.
Lorna Morello ends the series in "Florida" with Red.
Lorna Morello was pregnant and married throughout season six. During that season, she gives birth to a baby boy, Sterling, but he later dies of pneumonia.

Nicky Nichols ends the series as an important part of Litchfield.
During season seven, many viewers see Nicky Nichols lose many of the most important people in her life.
After being unable to cope with Red and Lorna's deteriorating mental states, Nicky rises to the challenge and becomes the new caretaker of sorts by taking over Red's kitchen duties and helping other inmates get through their detox experiences.
During season seven, Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett dies of a drug overdose.
During the final season, Pennsatucky is seen studying to get her GED and she is also diagnosed with dyslexia, which grants her extra testing time.
After Officer Luschek reveals that he'd forgotten to put in a request for extra time during her test, Pennsatucky leaves the GED exam thinking she's failed. In the penultimate episode of the show, she dies of a drug overdose.
Viewers later learn that Pennsatucky passed her test after all.
Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson goes through a lot during season seven but ends the series on a hopeful note.
After being wrongfully accused of killing Piscatella, Taystee spends much of the final season contemplating suicide because her appeals keep getting denied. She later begins tutoring inmates, including Doggett, to help them pass their GED exams.
With the help of a now-released Judy King, she also sets up the Poussey Washington Fund to give inmates financial assistance after they are released. She also begins teaching financial literacy to her fellow inmates.
Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren ends the series helping Taystee to develop a financial-literacy program.

As revenge for her betrayal, Taystee sends a letter to Cindy's family letting Cindy's daughter Monica know that, contrary to her knowledge, Cindy is her mother and not her sister.

By the end of the series, Dayanara Diaz is involved in the prison's drug trade and it's unclear if she's still alive.

Gloria Mendoza ends the series as a free woman who is finally able to meet her grandchild.

Flaca steps into Gloria's role and she is seen on the series finale taking information from detained inmates in the lunch line, promising to try to contact their families and lawyers.
Frieda Berlin ends the series housed with Red in "Florida."
Frieda was Red's best friend until she betrayed her during season six by telling authorities about Red's involvement in the prison riots. At the end of season seven, Red — who is having trouble with her memory — doesn't initially recognize Frieda when she sees her at "Florida."
