Description

From its opening in 1863 Fortitude Valley Gaol was used to accommodate female prisoners from Brisbane who were serving short sentences; women serving longer sentences were transferred to the gaol at Toowoomba. The gaol closed in 1904, after the opening of a new women's prison at Boggo Road Gaol in Brisbane made it superfluous.
