Description

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.
