Episode Details

Matt Wright, star of Netflix’s “Outback Wrangler,” is speaking out after serving five months in a Northern Territory prison for attempting to pervert the course of justice following a helicopter crash that killed his co-star Chris “Willow” Wilson — a crash he owned the aircraft involved in. Behind bars, he endured sleepless nights, shared a cell with sex offenders and ex-cops, and watched his kids grow up without him — his eldest son even called his jumpsuit a clown costume. Released but still under electronic monitoring, Wright now faces further restrictions and harsh criticism of the NT’s prison system, which he says turns minor offenders into hardened criminals. He also grapples with grief, thinking daily of Willow, while preparing to represent himself in a civil lawsuit filed by her widow — despite being cleared of criminal responsibility for the crash.
