Description

This gaol was built by prisoners who slept on hulks in Corio Bay during construction. In 1865 the gaol closed and was converted into an industrial school for girls who had committed minor offences or were considered to be at risk. The industrial school closed in 1872 and for five years the building was empty, but it became a hospital gaol?receiving invalid prisoners from 1877 until 1940. During the Second World War it was used as army detention barracks, before reverting to a hospital gaol in 1947. In 1958 the hospital gaol closed, and it was used as a training prison for medium-security prisoners until 1991. The gaol is now a museum.
