This up-tempo Pop symphony is about a guy writing to his girlfriend who is in prison. The group's main songwriter Rod Argent recalled in Mojo Magazine February 2008: "It just appealed to me. That twist on a common scenario, I just can't wait for you to come home to me again."

This was released as the first single from the Odessey And Oracle album in the UK but it wasn't a hit, which surprised vocalist Colin Bluntstone. He recalled in the same interview: "I thought 'Care of Cell 44' was incredibly commercial. I was really disappointed when it wasn't a hit." Soon after it stiffed, the band split up and Bluntstone took a job in the Burglary Department of a London insurance office. Bassist Chris White admitted: "We tried to promote 'Care Of Cell 44,' but there was no positive reaction. It was downhill from then on." However the band did have a surprise hit in America a year after their break-up when "Time Of The Season" peaked at #3.
