Description

When it opened in 1971 this correctional facility was called Bandyup Training Centre, and was built to hold 68 women. Over time it has grown to hold up to 259 inmates, and been rechristened Bandyup Women's Prison. From the early 2000s through to 2015 there were reports of significant overcrowding at the prison, which forced women to sleep on mattresses on the floor. The opening of the Melaleuca Remand and Reintegration Facility in 2016 was intended to relieve the pressure on Bandyup.
