Thanks to her good behaviour, Aleida is released early in season four, before the riot happens. But she still plays a central role in the OITNB story in seasons five and six. In season five, Aleida learns from Judy that Daya has shot C.O. Humphrey. And in season six, Aleida starts smuggling drugs into the maximum-security prison so she can earn enough money to rent a new apartment and regain custody of her children. But in the season six finale, Aleida realises that Daya is hooked on the very drugs she's responsible for getting to the prison.
