Description

A female prison built on the site of the former Yarra Bend Asylum, with remnants of the walls and gates incorporated into the prison layout. Between 1956 and 1982 the prison had an operational capacity of 60 inmates. In 1982 arson destroyed parts of the prison and led to the deaths of three inmates. The facility was rebuilt and expanded, reopening in 1986 with an operational capacity of 106 inmates. The prison closed in 1996.?
