Prisoner is an Australian drama that aired on Network Ten, set in the fictional Wentworth Detention Centre. It was billed as Prisoner: Cell Block H in airings in the United Kingdom (on ITV) and the United States (in syndication) and as either Prisoner: Cell Block H or Caged Women in Canadian syndication (depending by market), as the show could not be aired under its original name outside Australia because British TV channel ATV considered the name too similar to that of its own series, The Prisoner. For the 2013 remake, see Wentworth.
