Plot Synopsis

PRISONER OF THE PROPHET is a one-hour documentary series that centers on Briell Decker, the 65th wife of prophet Warren Jeffs, who details her time living -- and surviving -- in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church). Her story exposes the darkest secrets of the polygamist cult. On Monday, January 30, 2023, all three episodes of PRISONER OF THE PROPHET dropped on discovery+:

"The 65th Wife": Briell details her upbringing in the FLDS polygamist community and explains their way of life. At 18 years old, Briell becomes Warren's 65th wife and learns that he is having relationships with his underage brides.

"Blood Atonement": Briell recounts her time being imprisoned in a "House of Hiding," an FLDS compound in South Dakota where she was isolated, drugged and threatened by Warren, who was on the run from the FBI for being involved with his underage brides.

"The Escape": Warren orders Briell to be moved back to Short Creek, and she is made a prisoner by her own family. Briell realizes this may be her last chance to escape the FLDS. During the Warren Jeffs trial in Texas, startling evidence is brought into court.
