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."

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
