Prisoner was famous for not having an opening theme tune, just a small selection of the inmates' mugshots.
From this page you can view and download all of the opening mugshots in sequence.

Episodes 001 and 002
The first two episodes' opening titles were slightly extended, perhaps to introduce the series easier. We see Karen Travers, Lyn Warner and Bea Smith on the outside going about their normal lives, then the prison gate slams shut and we see their mugshots and prisoner numbers.

Episodes 003 to 692
From the third episode, Prisoner reduced the opening titles to show a total of 4 mugshots featuring three characters that were currently in the series. Generally we saw the front shot of one of the main characters followed by side shots of two others - initially using the characters of Karen, Lyn and Bea.
Here, in order, are mugshots that were featured throughout the rest of the series. Episode numbers of their first appearance on the opening titles are in brackets.

Mugshot Trivia
49 different mugshot pictures were used, excluding the colour ones in episodes 1-2.
25 characters were featured in total over the years.
The longest run of the same images was for episodes 81 to 306, using Doreen, Lizzie and Bea.
Judy Bryant had two sets of mugshots taken - we don't know why!
Lainie Dobson was the only prisoner to be featured before she appeared in the series.
Lexie should have long hair in her mugshot for continuity purposes, but doesn't.
Unseen Mugshots
During the series' run, a number of mugshots and similar style images were taken of the various characters - some of which never made it the final series. Here are a selection of some that were not seen on-screen.
