Punishment is an Australian television soap opera made by the Reg Grundy Organisation for Network Ten in 1981. Set in a fictional men's prison, the series attempted to present a male version of its female counterpart Prisoner, which was set in a woman's prison. Attempts by the show's makers to differentiate the series from Prisoner saw Punishment imbued with greater realism; however, the formula did not attract high viewing figures. imdb.com
