Jacqueline Holt is a character in Wentworth and serves as the main antagonist in the first season. Jacs was notable for being the first known top dog in Wentworth and for her rivalries with Franky Doyle and Bea Smith. Jacs was portrayed by Kris McQuade.
The Wentworth website states, "Late 50s, Jacs served 7 years of a 14 year sentence for murder. She was the top dog staring down her ‘use-by’ date as both a woman and powerbroker. A long-termer at Wentworth, Jacs was born into a crime family before becoming the matriarch of her own when she married Vinnie Holt. She lacked empathy and compassion, and used physical violence and fear to control others. It was all about power for Jacs, and she played a long strategic game to get it and keep it. An astute judge of character, Jacs had an uncanny ability to zero in on a person’s vulnerabilities and use it against them. But Jacs felt the years catching up, and her physical strength and stamina wasn't what it used to be. That meant playing a tougher and smarter game to stay at the top."[1]
