    Tiger and Skollie are planning an escape. They come across a stash of dagga in a steel pipe. Pappa and Priester put Polka under pressure to find the missing drugs. They suspect Le Roux and decide to teach him a lesson: first he gets assaulted in the shower, then a file is planted in his cell.

Prison drama described as a series of "dramatised documentaries" based on real events in South African prisons over 75 years. The series follows the lives of the inmates and wardens of Pretoria Central Prison and in particular the hero, Skollie and his constant escape attempts. After two series, the story was concluded in a film called Vyfster, Die Slot, which follows Skollie's battle to find his son despite the scheming of his enemies inside and outside prison.
