Background
The backstory for Linda Miles was self written by Linda's actor Jacquie Brennan who wrote her backstory in between series 1 and 2.
Linda's life had fallen apart due to her gambling addiction and she was also quite possibly an alcoholic. This resulted in the breakdown of her marriage after her gambling had lost the house. Linda also lost her job as a successful teacher and became a prison guard to be 'well paid', but in the end Linda's job in corrections became "this was it" meaning that the job had become her life because "there was nothing else to go back to".
In Series One, Linda was a minor officer. All we knew about her was that she was a fun loving officer who enjoyed a drink, and was social, often being the one to organise the after hours staff drinks and events like darts or lawn bowls and later the unseen volleyball match.
Linda was a formerly trained highly successful teacher, but she lost her job due to amassing her gambling debt, so Linda moved into corrections for the "challenge".

It is revealed in season 2 that Linda has a gambling addiction.
In season 1 is given the iconic nickname "Smiles" by Franky during episode 3 when Franky is taken to the governors office.
