Description

From 1953, new prison buildings were erected on the Old Cooma Gaol (use of which had discontinued in 1909). The new gaol became known as the Cooma Prison Camp during reconstruction. Cooma Prison opened in 1957 as a medium-security prison, and was renamed the Cooma Correctional Centre in 1992. The Centre closed again in 1998 but reopened again in 2001. Today it is a minimum to medium-security prison for males with a capacity of 160 inmates. A museum dedicated to the prison's history operates next door to the correctional centre, with trusted inmates acting as tour guides.
