The Prisoner

Australia's first 50 years was a time of harshness, brutality, and cruelty not often seen in the annals of our world. And these forms of treatment were not always committed by the prisoners.
One man, sentenced to transportation for a crime we would regard, today, as minor, finds his life tormented by only the most vicious of treatment - yet, at the end, discovers that sometimes even one's most cruel of masters can be worth dying for.
