<P> In the third season, she is upset after discovering that her son is becoming disrespectful and is failing his classes . She demands that he comes to visit with his homework every week and asks Sophia to allow him to ride with her son when he is doing his weekly visits . After Sophia cuts off the relationship in response to what she saw as Gloria's son being a bad influence, the two have a confrontation in the bathroom, resulting in Sophia pushing Gloria to the ground . Gloria quits working in the kitchen and later feels guilty because Aleida started spreading rumors about Sophia that caused her to get attacked in her hair salon and put in the SHU allegedly for her own safety . In the fourth season, she is shown working with Sister Jane Ingalls to get Sophia out of SHU . When Sophia returns, Gloria attempts to make amends with her . Before Aleida is released from prison, she tells Gloria to be a mother figure to Daya and to keep her out of trouble . Gloria is clearly concerned when Daya begins spending time with Maria's crew . </P> <P> At the beginning of the fifth season, she becomes extremely concerned about Daya after she shoots Humphrey in the leg, and attempts to keep him alive at all costs so Daya doesn't face a murder charge . She takes the gun from Daya, but ends up losing the gun to Angie after dropping it on the ground . She supports Daya when she decides to surrender for shooting Humphrey, and ends up getting into an intense argument with Aledia over it . When Frieda reveals her secret bunker in the prison, she joins her down there, but ends up leaving after she receives text messages about her son being in the hospital . After being given a tip from Caputo to call for help from his office, she is told by MCC that if she gets the hostages out, they will ensure that she is able to see her son . Maria finds out about her plan, but while she doesn't reveal it to any of the other prisoners, Maria ends up leading the hostages out of a hole in the fence to take credit for releasing them while Gloria is taken prisoner for releasing the guards . At the end of the season, after finding out that her son survived surgery, she returned to Frieda's bunker while the riot team is taking back control of the prison . </P> <P> Cindy "Black Cindy" Hayes (played by Adrienne C. Moore)--A bubbly, laid - back and perpetually cheerful inmate,' Black' Cindy is seen often with the other black inmates . During Taystee's time on the outside, she is seen more frequently joking around with Poussey . Her back story is explained more in the second season, where it is revealed that she worked for the TSA and occasionally stole items from the luggage of travelers . It is shown that she also had a nine - year - old daughter named Monica who was raised by her mother under the pretense that Cindy was her older sister . She is shown to shirk her responsibilities; in one instance, she took her daughter out for ice cream, only to leave her in the car for hours after she spontaneously decided to hang out with some friends . In the third season, she decides to pretend to be Jewish as a response to the inferior food quality resulting from the budget cuts so she can get better tasting kosher meals . After the prison brings in a rabbi to discover who is really Jewish and ends up being outed as a faker, she decides to convert for real and completes her conversion by performing a ritual immersion, using the lake behind the prison as a mikveh . In the beginning of season four, she gets involved in an escalating turf war with her new inmate, Alison Abdullah, who is an observant Muslim, during which the two frequently trade barbs about their respective religions . However, they begin to get along and Abdullah joins Cindy's group of friends . </P> <P> Joseph Salvatore "Joe" Caputo (played by Nick Sandow)--One of the administrative officials in the prison . Caputo is initially portrayed as a sleazy character who believes in keeping the inmates dehumanized and who masturbates in his office immediately after his first encounter with Piper . Later, it becomes clear that he genuinely seeks to rehabilitate the inmates and run the prison properly and ethically . He doesn't tolerate corruption, inefficiency, and sexual exploitation, later telling Bennett while berating him for impregnating Daya that he masturbates to control any urges to sleep with one of the inmates . It is shown through flashbacks in the third season that Caputo's desire to do the right thing has always been met with ingratitude and bad results for him . Prior to working at the prison, he quit his band to raise his girlfriend's daughter - who was conceived with one of his band - mates while they were separated - only for them to become successful while he got stuck in a low - paid job in the prison service, and his wife selfishly left him for her daughter's father . Throughout the first season, Caputo appeared to have romantic feelings for the new recruit to the staff, Susan Fischer . However, when she did not return the feelings, Caputo became upset and fired her during an argument . He is easily the most competent of the prison staff, being more than capable of dealing with crises without being appeasing or oppressive--on one occasion, upon finding out that there is a hunger strike in the prison, he goes to the strikers directly and tells them straight that most of their demands are either unreasonable or are being resolved independently, without then sending them to the SHU . In addition, he is unafraid to challenge people who are being unreasonable, routinely lashing out at Figueroa for her austere methods, and Healy for his lesbian witch hunt . He also plays bass guitar in a band called "Side Boob," and attempts to grow plants as a therapeutic hobby . Caputo is also seen to be very ambitious, and desired to move up the ladder to eventually become warden . When Piper finds evidence of Figueroa embezzling funds from the prison, Caputo uses it to force her resignation and he becomes the new assistant warden . </P>
