I worked here sometimes and was here to remove the final prisoners to Barwon with my offsider David Prideaux. We were both dog handlers in the Dog Squad.
All these older gaols were fully self contained, sustained & self sufficient?. From cookhouses to coal fired boiler rooms? . From jail kitchens to jail laundries?. From prison chapels to metal & maintenance shops?. From clinic wards & hospitals to screws quarters & governor's house, all on the prison grounds?. All was made & done right inside these walls, truely a seperate world from the one outside of the walls?. Nothing was contracted out or privatised, no one come in from the outside that wasn't wearing green or blue?. Visits were strictly controlled usually held at the front gatehouse, no such thing as contact visits back then?. Wow, you knew you were in jail back then, & in every way?. But it was real & you made some lifetime friends & comrades, this is where the plastic is seperated from the steel, & there is no wood in between the plastic & steel??.

I know something about the prison that I don't think you know...its something that I found in 1984. 1985
