Description

When Berrimah Prison opened in 1979 to replace the Fannie Bay Gaol, it had an operational capacity for holding 110 inmates. By 2012 this had risen to 750 inmates, but media reports suggested that the facility was overcrowded and in poor hygienic condition. The prison closed in 2014 with the opening of the new Darwin Correctional Centre.
