Description
The first Parramatta Female Factory was built near Parramatta Gaol, on what is now Prince Alfred Square. Within a decade, however, increasing numbers of convict women in the penal colony meant the facility was no longer adequate. A suitable site was found further up the Parramatta River for building a new female factory, which opened in 1821, allowing the closure of the first facility.

Description
The suburb now known as Eagle Farm in Brisbane started to be cleared for agricultural cultivation by convicts in the Moreton Bay penal colony in 1829. By 1934, some of the women convicts had been moved there, working in the fields and as dairywomen. Stationing female convicts at Eagle Farm was also an attempt to reduce their fraternisation with male convicts and the military. In 1836, the construction of slab cells at Eagle Farm was undertaken, and the following year all remaining female prisoners in Brisbane were removed to Eagle Farm. In 1839, all remaining convict women were shipped out of Moreton Bay penal colony to Sydney, closing the Eagle Farm prison. Only the foundations of the prison survive.

Upon opening in 1819, the Hyde Park Barracks provided accommodation for male convicts transported to the New South Wales penal colony. It ceased to be used for this purpose in 1848, becoming instead an Immigration Depot for newly-arrived female migrants. From 1862 it was an asylum for destitute women. In 1887 it was converted into law courts, operating as such until 1979. Today the Hyde Park Barracks operates as a history museum.

Description
This purpose-built workhouse for female convicts operated from 1828 to 1856. Female transportees would be housed there upon their first arrival in the colony until they could be sent out to assigned service with an appropriate family; assigned women would also be returned to the factory for disobedience or rule-breaking. The factory's location in a damp, swampy area led to high rates of disease among inmates, exacerbated by overcrowding. In 1869, more than a decade after its use as a female convict factory had ceased, the site became a reformatory for boys who were homeless or had been convicted of offences by the courts. At the reformatory boys would receive a basic education, work on farmland attached to the institution, or be apprenticed out to employers. The reformatory closed in 1876, but in 1884 the site was again opened as an alternative facility to prison for juvenile offenders, now known as the Boys' Training School. The Boys' Training School was transferred to a new site in New Town in 1896. Today the remaining Cascades buildings form a heritage site that is open to the visiting public.

Port Arthur was used as a penal colony for transported convicts from 1833 until the cessation of transportation in 1853. Juvenile convicts were also received at Port Arthur at the Point Puer prison, which received boys as young as nine.?Port Arthur was considered a particularly secure location, being both remote and surrounded by water on three sides. The site continued to be used as a prison after the cessation of transportation, with Port Arthur prison considered a model of the "Silent System" in which prisoners were kept separate from each other at all times.?This led to high rates of mental illness among inmates. The prison closed in 1877. Today it is a heritage site that is open to the visiting public.

This small wooden police hut was the first prison in Central Australia. The first prisoners committed there were eight Aboriginal males (including two boys aged 14 and 16), who had been convicted of 'larceny of beef' or cattle killing. Sentences in the group ranged from 14 days hard labour for the two teenage boys to up to 6 months hard labour for the adults. All six escaped from the gaol but were eventually recaptured. The Heavitree Gap Gaol closed in 1909 when the purpose-built Stuart Town Gaol opened. The wooden gaol hut no longer exists, but restored stone buildings associated with the police station were declared a historical reserve in 1979.

The gaol was established in 1845, but by 1850 it was already over-crowded, and the population influx brought by the discovery of gold in Victoria in 1851 quickly necessitated extensions (which were based on London's Pentonville Model Prison).?Detailed records of daily life inside the gaol are provided by the?diaries?of John Castieau, governor of the gaol between 1869 and 1884. Men, women and children were all imprisoned in the gaol. The youngest prisoner (not counting those infants born inside or accompanying their mothers) was a three-year-old convicted for being an idle and disorderly character in 1857. There were 135 hangings at the gaol, including infamous bushranger?Ned Kelly?and nineteenth-century serial killer?Frederick Bailey Deeming. The gaol was closed in 1924, although during World War Two it was used as a military prison. Although part of the gaol was demolished, today the remaining buildings operate as a prison museum.

In 1939 all prisoners in the gaol was transferred to Adelaide to enable the military to use the site as an internment camp, and then later a military detention barracks. The prison was reopened in 1952 and from that time was mostly used to house males under 25 years who it was felt needed to be kept away from the 'hardened criminals' elsewhere.

For a while there were plans to transform into an institution for treating inebriates, many of whom during this period would otherwise be confined to gaols on charges of habitual drunkenness. Ultimately, in 1909 it was instead?converted into a reformatory school for males aged 16 to 25 years. The reformatory closed in 1951, with the facility reopening in 1954 as a gaol to accommodate medium-security prisoners. It closed for good in 1990.

Description
While Swan River Colony was initially established in 1829 as a 'free settlement', by 1850 the need for a larger labour force convicts led to the introduction of transportation of convicts from Britain to Western Australia. Fremantle Prison was established to provide accommodation for these overseas convicts; some locally-convicted inmates were also held there from 1858. Penal transportation to Western Australia ended in 1868 and the number of convicts under sentence in the colony then gradually declined, so the prison eventually came under colonial control in 1886. Locally-convicted men from Perth Gaol were transferred to Fremantle, and from 1887 female prisoners were also sent there. The discovery of gold in Western Australia in 1890s swelled the population and prison numbers, and in the early twentieth century the gaol was considerably enlarged. Nevertheless, in 1911 a Royal Commission into Fremantle Prison recommended closing the facility due to its outdated conditions, but this recommendation was not acted upon. During both world wars the prison was used for the detention of military personnel accused of crimes, as well as an internment centre for enemy aliens and prisoners of war. Female inmates were removed from Fremantle in 1970. Despite growing pressure for prison reform, Fremantle Prison was slow to modernise, eventually leading to a major riot by dissatisfied prisoners in 1988.?The prison closed in 1991 and today operates as a museum about the gaol's history.

There were 42 hangings at Boggo Road Gaol before Queensland became the first part of the British Commonwealth to abolish capital punishment in 1922. New prison buildings replaced the old No. 1 Division in the 1960s. During the 1970s the gaol became notorious throughout Australia for its appalling conditions, which inspired a number of protests. The prison closed in 1992. Since then No. 2 Division has been home to the Boggo Road Gaol Museum.

A gaol opened in 1938 to accommodate both male and female prisoners (in separate cell blocks). The gaol was the Northern Territory's only correctional facility for a time following the bombing of Darwin in 1942, and again for a short time in 1974 when Darwin's Fannie Bay Gaol was damaged by Cyclone Tracy. Until 1964, male?inmates were?segregated by race within the facility.?Originally built to detain 22 prisoners, from the mid 1960s prison numbers rose sharply so that by 1975 there were 121 inmates in the gaol, even though the optimum number of prisoners the gaol had capacity for was estimated at 60. The high incarceration rates disproportionately involved Aboriginal offenders. In 1993 the gaol was closed, and after a brief battle between heritage organisations and private developers wanting to demolish the buildings, the complex was leased to the National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame to open a museum that includes exhibitions about the site's prison history.

The original prison building opened at Coburg in 1851, but underwent much extension and renovation in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The size of the complex expanded as different divisions were introduced to house different types of prisoners, with separate accommodations for prisoners of good behaviour, long-term prisoners with behaviour problems, short-term prisoners, remand prisoners, prisoners with psychiatric problems, high-security prisoners, young offenders and eventually maximum-security prisoners. A government reformatory for girls was also opened adjacent to the prison in 1864, but eventually closed in 1893, in part because it was felt that the reformatory's location so close to the prison was less than ideal. A reformatory for boys also operated in the grounds of Pentridge prison, known as the Jika Reformatory, from 1873 to 1879.?With the closure of Melbourne Gaol in 1924, Pentridge became the main prison for the metropolitan area. Pentridge eventually closed in 1997. The site is heritage-listed, and is currently undergoing remodelling that will turn it into an urban village.

Description
When this prison first opened in 1863 it was called Sandhurst Gaol, as this was Bendigo's official name until 1891, although locally the town was already being referred to as Bendigo. The gaol originally housed up to 80 male and female prisoners, but after 1896 all female prisoners were transferred to Pentridge Prison in Melbourne. Apart from an interlude between 1939 and 1953 when the prison was used as a military detention centre, the facility was used continuously as a prison until its closure in 2006. In 2015 the site reopened as the 1000-seat Ulumbarra Theatre.

Description
Established in 1839, this site has continued to be used as a criminal detention centre on and off right though to today. The gaol was initially constructed using convict labour to house locally-convicted prisoners from the surrounding areas. In 1866 it was renovated to act as a 'model prison' in line with current penal reform ideas, which included the provision of separate cells for each prisoner. All prisoners sent to the gaol spent at least one year in solitary before gradually being given opportunities to interact with other prisoners during work and exercise periods. The gaol closed in 1909, and during World War One was used as a German internment camp. During the interwar era it acted as a police station, with the gaol open for public inspection as a place of historic interest. From 1944 it was rebuilt using prison labour, and reopened as the Berrima Training Centre in 1948, functioning as a minimum security prison for men. In 2001 it became an all-female prison instead, before being closed in 2011. In 2016 it was reopened to cope with New South Wales' growing prison population.

Description
In 1881, a purpose-built prison opened in Johnston Street, Tamworth to take over the function of the town's earlier gaol, which was regarded as no longer fit for purpose. It received mostly short-sentence prisoners sentenced from the surrounding area. In 1943 the gaol was closed. Five years later, the gaol became the Tamworth Institution for Boys, and was used as a place of secondary punished for boys aged 15 to 18 years who had absconded from or committed offences in other facilities. Conditions at the institution were particularly harsh. In 1976 it became known as Endeavour House, but continued to act as a maximum-security juvenile detention centre for boys convicted of or charged with serious crimes. A spate of suicides at the institution led to its closure in 1990.?In 1991 the facility reopened as an adult prison.?Today Tamworth Correctional Centre is a?medium-security, 89-bed prison for males.

Description
This was the third gaol to be constructed at Grafton, the first two facilities having proved poorly sited and insufficient to local needs. The prison opened in 1893 to receive medium-security prisoners, but in 1924 was reclassified as a maximum-security prison, before reverting to medium-security status in 1945. From 1942 the gaol was used to house the most intractable prisoners due to a number of serious assaults on officers in the New South Wales prison system. The brutal regime at Grafton that followed was heavily criticised during the 1976-1978 Nagle Royal Commission into the New South Wales prison system. In 1991 Grafton Gaol was converted to a Periodic Detention Centre for minor offenders sentenced to a number of repeated short stays in prison (usually at weekends) rather than a continuous prison term. In 1992 the gaol became the Grafton Correctional Centre. The women's wing of the prison was shut in 2011. Today the prison receives minimum to medium-security male inmates with an operational capacity of 64 prisoners.
