The gaol was demolished in 1855, as its position opposite Government House was considered poorly located.

Description

With the influx of migrants to the goldfields at Castlemaine in the 1850s, there was a pressing need for a prison to service the local area. The existing police watch-house building was therefore declared a prison in 1852, so that it could be used as a place where sentences could be served (rather than just hold those under arrest). However, within the decade it became clear that a purpose-built prison was required to house the growing number of inmates, leading to the old gaol's closing when a new facility opened at Castlemaine in 1861.

In 1870 the police watch-house in Wentworth's Darling Street was proclaimed a prison, enabling it to be used to confine prisoners sentenced to terms of 14 days or less. The gaol only had accommodation for 9 prisoners, and from 1875 there were complaints of overcrowding and of prisoners having to be chained up outside as there was no room for them. Plans were made for a gaol at a new site in Wentworth, leaving this facility to return to its former use as a police watch-house in 1881.

During 1883 (the first year for which figures are available) 89 priosoners were admtted to the Gaol and 82 were discharged. The Gaol had 5 cells for separated and 15 for associated prisoners. The gaol was listed in the second schedule of Prisons Act 1899 as one of public gaols, prisons and houses of correction in existence. The Gaol was closed on 16 August 1909, by proclamation as one among several totally unsuitable for the proper treatment of any but the shortest sentenced prisoners. Another gaol was erected at Cooma in 1953 taking priosners from 1957

In 1866, prisoners who were being kept aboard the prison hulk Proserpine began to be taken ashore St Helena Island each day to work on buildings intended to act as a new quarantine station. However, because the gaol facility at Petrie Terrace in Brisbane was becoming so congested, it was decided to use the buildings under construction as a gaol instead. Even after the opening of a new prison in Brisbane at Boggo Road in 1883, St Helena Island continued to be used as a secure prison for the colony's worst offenders, predominantly those convicted of serious violence. The prison closed in 1932. Today the island is a tourist destination, with visitors able to take guided tours about the prison's history.

When British colonists first arrived in South Australia from 1836, they initially kept the occasional prisoners they had in irons aboard moored ships. A temporary wooden gaol was erected in 1838, a facility that quickly became over-crowded, necessitating a more permanent structure. This gaol, which had capacity to hold 140 prisoners,?was completed in 1841. Additions and renovations to the gaol occurred periodically across the twentieth century, until the gaol was eventually decommissioned in 1988. Today the gaol is a heritage site that is open to the public.

Following some alterations, the former gaol was made a special ward of the Ararat Asylum in 1887. J Ward was used to accommodate persons convicted of crimes who were considered mentally unfit. It continued to be used for this purpose until 1989. Today it is the site of the Melbourne Polytechnic Ararat Training Centre, which runs a vineyard and winery where students can learn about the wine business. However, public tours detailing the history of gaol and asylum buildings are available by booking.

A gaol was first established at Parramatta in 1798 (designed to hold just eight prisoners), although fire destroyed the initial building the following year. A new facility was built on the same site in 1802. In 1842, a new gaol was built that would remain in use into the twenty-first century. A declining prison population led to the gaol being repurposed as a hospital from 1918 to 1927, when increased demand for prison facilities led to it being refurbished and re-established as a gaol. The Centre closed briefly again between 1997 and 1998, and was shut down permanently in 2011. Today the gaol is a heritage site often used as a filming location, and is regularly opened for tours.

When the prison first opened in 1937 it consisted of wooden huts to accommodate 20 persons, an orchard, grazing land and a small forest. In subsequent years further buildings were added, and by 1970s the prison farm was a substantial operation consisting of market vegetable gardens, pigs, hens, sheep and a dairy. The prison was closed in 2012 due to the costs of upkeep on the buildings. The property was sold to a private owner in 2015.

Description

Yatala Labour Prison was built to provide accommodations for prisoners whose labour could be used for public works. Initially, 25 prisoners were sent to the Dry Creek site in 1854 to work in the nearby quarries. Prisoners were required to break one cubic yard of rock per day. The prison buildings were repeatedly expanded between the 1850s and 1880s to accommodate larger numbers of prisoners. In the twentieth century prisoners moved from rock breaking into goods production, including boot making, tailoring, tin-smithing, blacksmithing, carpentry and masonry. In 1968 the decision was taken to build a new industries complex on the site, and the provision of educational programmes at the prison expanded across the 1970s. Poor morale among prisoners led to a major prison riot in 1983 that caused significant damage and necessitated major renovations. Today Yatala is a minimum to maximum-security prison for men with capacity to hold up to 458 inmates.

Description

Overcrowding and poor sanitation led to the construction of a new prison at Bathurst, which opened in 1888 with 308 cells. Up until the First World War, the gaol was mainly designated for receiving prisoners who were repeat offenders or considered unlikely to reform. However, from 1914 it began catering more to prisoners who - though previously convicted - were still considered 'hopeful cases'. During the Second World War the gaol was used as an internment camp for 'enemy aliens'. Its use as a prison resumed after the war. In 1970 the gaol was reclassified as a maximum-security prison. The 1970s saw multiple riots at the prison by inmates dissatisfied with their living conditions: there was no glass in the the windows, no heating in winter but extreme heat in summer, and a piggery operating just outside the gaol produced bad odours and attracted insects. The gaol facilities were criticised during the Nagle Royal Commission into the New South Wales prison system (1976-1978). In 1992, the prison's name was changed to Bathurst Correctional Centre. It remains operational today as a minimum to medium-security prison with capacity for 222 inmates.

From 1928 this afforestation camp acted as a site for receiving trusted or low-risk prisoners, who undertook outdoor work and training. It underwent expansions across the 1960s and by the mid 1970s accommodated 95 prisoners. This remains the capacity of the facility,?now known as the Glen Innes Correctional Centre. Today it is classified as a minimum-security prison for men, receiving both sentenced felons and those undergoing a pre-release programme to prepare for re-entry into the community.

A medium to maximum-security prison for men that can hold up to 280 inmates. During a four-month period across 1999 and 2000, five men died while imprisoned at Risdon. This sparked an investigative report by the ABC?Four Corners?program, which showed that there had bee 18 deaths in custody in the prison over the previous 12 years, and that successive governments had been aware of poor conditions at the prison but failed to intercede. A 2001 report by the Tasmanian Ombudsman also criticised the prison as over-crowded and?under-resourced. The facilities were expanded in 2006.
