Description

The first reference to Cooma Gaol appears to be the appointment of Robert Dawson as a Visiting Justice on 7 August, 1867. At about the same time an acting gaoler and a warder were appointed by the Sheriff. Early references refer to the Gaol as a 'Lock-Up'. During 1883 (the first year for which figures are available) 89 priosoners were admtted to the Gaol and 82 were discharged. The Gaol had 5 cells for separated and 15 for associated prisoners. The gaol was listed in the second schedule of Prisons Act 1899 as one of public gaols, prisons and houses of correction in existence. The Gaol was closed on 16 August 1909, by proclamation as one among several totally unsuitable for the proper treatment of any but the shortest sentenced prisoners. Another gaol was erected at Cooma in 1953 taking priosners from 1957
