Jacs Holt

General

"Don't fucking flaunt her in public. You know what that does to me in here!"

Jacqueline 'Jacs' Holt (Inmate #JH-452250) is a former inmate and Top Dog of Wentworth Correctional Centre.

Jacs had been in Wentworth for over 10 years serving time for murder. Jacs' time in prison was rocky due to the in fighting between her and Franky Doyle.

Jacs was set up for the murder of Meg Jackson after Liz planted evidence in her hand cream. Jacs was later killed by Bea Smith as revenge for her daughter's death.

Time At Wentworth

Jacs was a crime matriarch in the Holt Crime Family, and was Top Dog at Wentworth, as she is seen operating the steam press in a promo video for the show.

Jacs was very manipulative and did whatever she could to get what wanted.

In later episodes it is shown she has arthritis and cannot fight for herself and gets Vera to smuggle in pain relief as a result.

Jacs has 14 years of her sentence to serve.

Jacs has her hand crushed by Franky after Bea is attacked and injured by Jacs' crew after realising someone had told Franky and that person was either Doreen or Bea herself, Franky says it was one of many ideas that Jacs always had to silence people. Franky's crew hold Jacs down while Franky pulls the gym equipment down on her hand causing it to break her fingers.

Jacs orders the hit on Debbie and makes her son Brayden Holt do it, Brayden agrees to but the only problem with it is Brayden had gotten so close to Debbie that he fell in love with her. When Debbie dies after being given an OD, Jacs claims Brayden was heartbroken.

Jacs taunts Bea about her attempted murder of her husband, Harry Smith and the death of her daughter Debbie, Jacs finishes her taunts saying that she was better off dead; this causes Bea to angrily stab her in the neck with a pen. Bea panics and tries to control the bleeding after pulling the pen out, but Jacs pushes her away and falls to the ground bleeding out, ending her life.

Trivia

As a new character, Jacs did not appear on PCBH. However, she is apparently a crime matriarch, so Jacs could be based on someone like Judy Moran.
Despite being an original character, PCBH did have similar characters, meaning Jacs may be a homage to Toni McNally or even Ruth Ballinger.
Jacs could have been considered a new version of Marie Winter until this character was confirmed to be present in season 6.
In episodes 'Mind games' and 'To the moon', an Italian flag can be seen in her room, alluding that she is possibly of Italian descent. This is suggested as well in the episode 'Captive': when Jacs calls Toni to talk alone to her, for a few instants she can be seen reading pages of a magazine in Italian language. This also suggests that Jacs may have been involved with the Italian Mafia.
