In 2008 a brutal and vicious murder occurs in Belanglo State Forest in NSW; but it isn't by the infamous serial killer most people would associate with the area.  This case would be linked linked to another murder 1000km away. 
You may not know this monsters name, but he deserves the moniker of Australia's most sadistic killer.  

In our very first Jail Tales, we head back to the infamous Jika Jika unit in Pentridge Prison and find out how armed robber and serial murderer,  Alex Tsakmakis earned the enduring reputation as 'The Barbecue King'. A reputation that shocked and appalled even the most violent and hardened of Pentridge's inmates. 

What happens when you put the worst, most hardened inmates from Australia's most notorious prison in the same unit? Not just any unit though, the most technologically sophisticated unit to be built in Victoria that's sole design purpose was to control every facet of the inmates life. What happens when these worst 1% get 'buried alive'? 
They take matters into their own hands...

In 1971 a serial child predator was targeting the children of Melbourne, Victoria.  But when he is captured and charged (and inevitably released on bail), he flees Victoria for Western Australia where he begins a violent string of attacks and murders of young boys.  These crimes would end in Tasmania where he would become the longest serving prisoner in the state's history.
