Final Interview for 2024!

In Issue 30 of Prisoner Officers and Inmates Magazine Released in December, we bring you an interview with Michael Winchester, the third actor who brought the compassionate version of Marty Jackson to life in Prisoner!

Marty wasn’t just an officer; he was a character with heart and depth. Known for his kindness to the women—much like his mother, Meg—Marty faced intense challenges, from being framed for drug smuggling to witnessing the horrors of the Blackmoor Riot. Through it all, he remained one of the few officers who truly abided by the rules.

In this feature, we also explore Michael’s fascinating career beyond Prisoner, highlighting the roles and experiences that shaped his impressive journey in the entertainment industry.

Interview Alert!

In Prisoner Officers and Inmates Magazine (Edition 30), we’re thrilled to bring you an interview with Desiree Smith, the actress behind Officer Delia Stout on Prisoner!

Delia Stout was a dedicated trainee officer with a secret crush on colleague Marty Jackson, even joining Meg Morris to search for him during the chaotic bush fires and feeling immense relief when he was found safe. Delia’s story took a tough turn when Joan “The Freak” Ferguson began mocking her, sparking an emotional storyline that revealed her struggles. With meaty storylines like the tense boat trip where Rita attempted to kill The Freak, Delia’s role contributed to some of the show's drama—even if she “disappeared” without explanation.

Get Desiree’s insights on portraying Delia, those gripping moments, and what Prisoner means to her
