Description

The Brookfield Afforestation Camp was established at Mannus in 1930 to provide male prisoners with a modified form of prison life that would enable them to acquire skills that could be used on release, such as tree-planting, building maintenance, vegetable growing, dairy farming and pig raising. In 1992 the facility became the Mannus Correctional Centre. Today it is primarily a minimum-security prison for men, although it also acts as a Periodic Detention Centre at weekends for both men and women undergoing periodic detention orders while working on community projects. The facility has accommodations for 164 inmates.
