Prisoner Characters - Inmates (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A list of all inmates of Wentworth Detention Centre in the television series Prisoner. Note that episode numbers cited are for first and last appearances; many characters had spells where they were absent and subsequently returned. Listed in rough order of appearance. Karen Mary Travers (Peita Toppano - episode 1-80), a middle-class school-teacher who had stabbed her abusive, adulterous husband to death. Initially Karen offers up little defense for her actions (which had led to her being given a life sentence), only later does it emerge that, as well as the physical and mental abuse she refused to report, she had returned from having the abortion that her husband had forced her to have, only to find him in bed with another woman, which ultimately sees her sentence reduced to two years.
