Tie-Ins: Prisoner Cell Block H

Prisoner Cell Block H is a bit of an oddity - an Australian women's prison soap opera that ran for 692 episodes from 1979 to 1986. 

Pinnacle produced a series of soft-core tie-ins that led to a strike by the cast in protest.

1980
Prisoner: Cell Block by Murray Sinclair

1981
The Franky Doyle Story by Henry Clement
The Karen Travers Story by Maggie O'Shell
