The OurPrisoner show came to an end on 15 December 2006 and Vogel received 40,000 shares of the BigString penny stock as his prize. Had he failed to perform any tasks, he would have received nothing.
The series was created by BigString Interactive. BigString's CEO Darin Myman was the creator of the show.
BigString announced that a second series would be held, but it never surfaced.
