There are multiple times where people are held down or against things. It’s also a prison show, people are sometimes in handcuffed/locked in cells or rooms.

S5E7 the inmates take off a guards thumb. The scene doesn’t show the removable process but the finger wrapped in gauze. An inmate gets a finger shot off and there is a lot of talk of cutting off another finger to attach to the inmates wound.

Not mutilation but in s2e3 when Morello is on the phone with her sister, she gets really upset and her left eye turns kinda grody red like she popped some blood vessels or something. Not a super gross thing but might be triggering for some

Arguable; the character "Crazy Eyes" appears to, possibly, be autistic, but to my knowledge this is not confirmed. Throughout the story she is a victim of ableism.

There is also a running joke using the r slur.

Suzanne becoming violent due to mental illness is a recurring plot point.

A mentally ill character plants an explosive device under someone's car.

In Season 2 Episode 1, a character mentions biting her girlfriend's tongue off and swallowing it due to "manic rage."

Yes. An inmate made an attempt by cutting her wrists. I don’t think the actual act was shown though. Just her receiving medical treatment afterwards.

No, but a pregnant character bleeds heavily in labor and it’s unclear initially if everything is okay, which may be triggering to miscarriage survivors.

There is a whole story arc where inmates try to get kosher meals and pretend to be Jewish. A character does convert and become Jewish but several other inmates treat her poorly for it. Other Jewish inmates outside of the one who has converted are subject to lots of name calling and mistreatment.

The show itself seems to be pro-choice (a character is given an abortion pill and this is viewed as positive) but there is at least one character who becomes very Christian and I believe is anti-abortion
