Crime: Murder, by strangulation, of her husband's lover. Was released after serving 10 years, to the start of the series. Was convicted of murder a second time after shooting her husband (2). (Did Bee get charged with killing Nola McKenzie (368) and get transferred before she was convicted on the charges??)

Sentence: 10 years for the first murder, Life for the second. God knows what she got for the third.

Smith is well-recorded, both outside and inside. She also has a record for the escapes and attempted escapes, which reads as follows:

• Escape lawful custody (30). Beatrice Alice Smith is convicted that, whilst in hospital as a result of being stabbed by the prisoner Anne Yates, she did walk out of the hospital ward, and was recaptured in Episode 36 whilst staying at the residence of an old cellmate Val.
• Escape lawful custody (165). Beatrice Alice Smith is convicted that she escaped or tried to escape, by going down a tunnel with cellmates Elizabeth Birdsworth and Doreen Burns.
  Bee was given a chance of parole but was turned down in Episode 324 with the next review in another 6 months.
• Arson and murder (the charges that she lit the fire causing the deaths of Heather Trapp and Barbra fields, were dropped). Assaulting officer Joan Ferguson (326).
• Escape lawful custody (352). Beatrice Alice Smith is convicted that, at the end of Episode 352, she did walk out of the prison while disguised as Officer Joan Ferguson. She was recaptured in Sydney at the end of Episode 360. This charge puts her future chances of parole pretty much out of the question now.
• Murder (368). Beatrice Alice Smith is convicted that, at the end of Episode 368, she did intentionally and unlawfully kill fellow inmate Nola McKenzie, by shooting her with a zipgun assembled within the prison.
