List of Australian prisons

The list of Australian prisons is a list of operational and former Australian prisons for adult males and females and juveniles. Prisons listed as "museum" are former prisons that are now open for public inspection and tours.

Throughout the European history of Australia, particularly since its formation as a penal colony, Australia has had many establishments for rehabilitation and incarceration. Altogether, there have been more than 180+ rehabilitation centres, youth correctional centres and prisons in Australia.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Australian Capital Territory

Belconnen Remand Centre

A new prison was opened on 11 September 2008 at Symonston, called the Alexander Maconochie Centre, named after Alexander Maconochie. The centre is designed as a multi role facility to replace the Belconnen Remand Centre and provide detention facilities so that prisoners who are currently held in New South Wales facilities may be held locally.

Adult Prisons and correctional facilities in Victoria are managed by Corrections Victoria. Two prisons are privatised and managed G4S Australia Pty. Limited and GEO Group Australia Pty. Limited. Youth detention centres are managed by Dept of Human Services

Victorian Prisons are mostly located in Regional Victoria. The Prison system is relatively modern with the closure of the last of the "old" gaols in 2005. Bendigo and Won Wron were the last to be closed. Beechworth Prison was closed in 2004 but replaced with Beechworth Correctional Centre in 2005. New prisons are being built or planned at Ararat and Ravenhall. Many prisons have had recent expansions in terms of bed numbers.

At 30 June 2015, there were 4,769 sentenced prisoners and 1,413 unsentenced prisoners in Victoria, thus making a total of 6,182 prisoners. From those 6,182 prisoners, 5,762 were males (93%) and 420 were females (7%). Those numbers also include 480 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners, making them 8% of the total number of prisoners in Victoria.^[18]

In 2015, the average male prisoner in Victoria is:^[18]

• 35.5 years old
• born in Australia
• did not complete high school
• a history of alcohol and drug abuse
• single and unemployed at the time he entered the prison system
• sentence of three years in a medium security prison
• more likely than not to have been imprisoned previously

In 2015, the average female prisoner in Victoria is:^[18]

• 36 years old
• born in Australia
• single or in a de facto relationship
• likely to be a mother/primary care giver
• unemployed, home duties or on a pension before prison
• has a higher level of education than her male counterpart but still failed to complete high school
• sentence of less than two years
• likely to be in prison for the first time

At 30 June 2015, the total operational capacity for Victorian prisons was 7,093 and had a utilisation rate of 90.5%.^[18]
