Description

When the prison first opened in 1937 it consisted of wooden huts to accommodate 20 persons, an orchard, grazing land and a small forest. In subsequent years further buildings were added, and by 1970s the prison farm was a substantial operation consisting of market vegetable gardens, pigs, hens, sheep and a dairy. The prison was closed in 2012 due to the costs of upkeep on the buildings. The property was sold to a private owner in 2015.
