bullet::::- jeanette mary "mum" brooks (mary ward – episode 1–204), an elderly, dignified long-term inmate who worked in the prison garden, well loved and respected by both prisoners and officers. "mum" had committed euthanasia on her terminally ill husband and had served fifteen years at the start of the series. she helped with making newcomers to wentworth get used to the prison routine. in episode 2, she is released, but has nowhere to live, and after spending a brief spell living with her daughter, lorraine watkins (anne charleston), who cannot accept that mum killed her father and does not like an ex-criminal being around her family, mum shoplifts to deliberately get sent back to wentworth. however, by episode 16, she is again released, this time under the care of new parole officer jean vernon, who sets mum up in a little flat with her pregnant granddaughter judith-ann (kim deacon) (whom mum grew close to during her awkward stint living with her daughter), at which point mum is written out of the series (as with carol burns, mary ward did not wish to commit to an ongoing serial). however, mum and judith-ann appear again in episodes 30–33, when they unwittingly become involved with the escaped bea (this storyline was conceived in part after requests from viewers to see what had happened to mum). mum and judith-anne are visited again in a storyline running from episode 61–67. mum is in poor health, but overworking in order to support judith-anne's imminent birth. meg (who is still visiting mum) convinces greg to tend to her, who in turn, convinces karen (now released) to stay with mum and judith after mum's short spell in hospital until the child is born. mum's estranged daughter lorraine (now played by gabrielle hartley) eventually re-appears on the scene, and after seeing judith's baby, offers to make amends, and asks judith and mum to come back home and live with her. mum is seen one more time later in the series for yet another storyline in episodes 199–204, reappearing in episode 199 when bea – who has lost her memory in a crash while being transported back from barnhurst – finds her once more. after another brief stint at wentworth for aiding bea, we are told a couple of years later in episode 388 that she has died of a heart attack, but left $20,000 to the prisoners. in episode 539, governor ann reynolds persuades new prisoner daphne graham to tend to mum's old rose garden to make new again that wore out after six years.
