Description

Emu Plains Prison Farm was established to accommodate male inmates who it was felt could be rehabilitated by workplace training at the prison's working dairy farm. The facility was remodelled to become the Emu Plains Training Centre in 1957, and as the Emu Plains Detention Centre in 1976. In 1994 the male prisoners were transferred to other centres and the property became the Emu Plains Correctional Centre, a minimum-security prison for women. Inmates are employed in the dairy, and programs are in place to permit inmates close contact with their children, who in some circumstances can stay at the prison with their mothers.
