Since our launch in 2022, we have been committed to bringing fans exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes stories, character profiles, tributes, rare photographs, and in-depth features from one of television's most iconic dramas. Whether you have been a fan since the original broadcasts or have only recently discovered the series, our aim is to keep the spirit of Prisoner alive for fans around the world.
Each issue is packed with exclusive content, including interviews, alongside detailed articles exploring the characters, storylines, and unforgettable moments that made Prisoner a worldwide phenomenon. We are passionate about preserving the history of the series and sharing memories from those who helped create the magic of Wentworth Detention Centre.
