Welcome to Wentworth Prison where everbody has a story but where one sentence can change your life.

Remember Bea Smith as gutsy and fearless, ruling Wentworth Correctional Centre with an iron fist. But who was Bea Smith before prison? How did a housewife and mother from the suburbs become "Top Dog" without rival?

Having taken Australia by storm and now on air on Five, Australia's most famous correctional centre opens its gates for the first time in 27 years in an edgy, sexy and graphic re-imagining of the popular drama series, Prisoner: Cell Block H. Featuring both new and original characters, this no-holds-barred drama charts their struggle to survive in the violent, pressure cooker environment of a contemporary women's prison. It's drama with conviction.
