Description

The McLeod prison farm on French Island opened in 1916 as a tent village. Timber cabins housed prisoners until 1946 when concrete cells were built. It operated as a self-sustaining farm. The prison closed in 1975 and was used as a holiday camp facility until 1995, and now is privately owned.
