Brisbane Correctional Centre

Background

Brisbane Correctional Centre, formerly the Sir David Longland Correctional Centre and also known as Wacol Prison, is a male prison facility located in the suburb of Wacol in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Opened in 1988, the prison complex was renovated and subsequently re-opened to inmates in June 2008. The complex houses a water conservation system, a unit specifically designed for 17-year-old prisoners (which has since been closed due to amended laws), and an ultra-modern maximum security wing for prisoners considered dangerous. The facility currently consists of 16 units, including a protection unit mainly for elderly prisoners and prisoners with sexual charges, as well as a medical unit for prisoners with serious psychological problems and suicidal thoughts. A typical unit has approximately 70 prisoners.
