History

Long Bay was opened due to the imminent closure of Darlinghurst Gaol. The State Reformatory for Women was opened in 1909 and the State Penitentiary for Men was opened beside it in 1914. The reformatory became part of the prison in the late 1950s, known as the Long Bay Penitentiary. The women’s prison was vacated after Mulawa Correctional Centre opened in 1969 at Silverwater. Darlinghurst Gaol was an Australian prison located in Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia. ...

Current Divisions

Metropolitan Special Programs Centre

Until recently called the 'Malabar Special Programs Centre', the MSPC is a maximum through to minimum security facility which houses many different types of inmates. It is the second largest gaol (in terms of inmate population) in the state of New South Wales, with a current inmate population around 900. It is a jack-of-all-trades holding remand inmates, medical transients (inmates undertaking medical treatment), forensic patients, inmates with short sentences and inmates undertaking programs. The programs areas of the gaol comprise of the Violent Offenders Therapeutic Program, Developmentally Delayed Program, Lifestyles Unit (for HIV-positive inmates) which has been unused and empty since 2002, the Kevin Waller Unit for at risk female inmates, ACMU for active suicidal prisoners, Multi Purpose Unit (high risk inmates on segregation orders and inmates requiring non association for safety) and CUBIT (CUstody Based Intensive Therapy) sex offenders program.

A large part of the maximum security area is a transit area where prisoners await a bed in their Gaol of classification, stay whilst obtaing medical treatment/surgery or are held on remand whilst awaiting trial. 'Metropolitan Medical Transit Centre/LBH2' was a maximum security facility used to hold inmates who had been discharged from Long Bay Hospital or were awaiting medical appointments. Since closure in January 2006 the MSPC now undertakes the role of housing inmates receiving medical treatment.

Industrial Training Centre/ MSPC 3

'Industrial Training Centre' This gaol is now under the control of the Metro Special Programs Centre and is known as MSPC 3. It now contains sex offenders, main stream (General Population), low security classification inmates and inmates with Alcohol and other Drug issues.

Long Bay Hospital

'Long Bay Hospital' is a maximum security facility which holds a total of 90 inmate patients in three wards. Jointly administered by the Department of Corrective Services and Justice Health (NSW Department of Health). The hospital is earmarked for eventual demolition, with 'A' ward being demolished late in 2006. The hospital was heavily in the news in January 2006 when inmate Robert Cole lost 14 kg in weight and slipped through the bars of his 'A' ward cell. Cole was recaptured three days later at Bondi Junction.

Special Purpose Centre

'Special Purpose Centre' is a maximum security facility which holds inmates requiring special protection. The identieties of inmates housed in this location are not disclosed and staff working there must sign confidentiality agreements.

Former Divisions

Katingal Facility

Long Bay is probably best remembered for its 'Katingal' facility, a notorious supermax prison block built in 1975. Dubbed the "electronic zoo" by inmates, "Katingal" was designed for sensory deprivation, with its 40 prison cells having electronically-operated doors, surveillance cameras, and no windows. Supermax is the name used to describe control-unit prisons, or units within prisons, which represent the most secure levels of custody in prison systems. ...

'Katingal' was not escape-proof, however: Russell "Mad Dog" Cox, an armed robber and hostage-taker, became its only escapee by cutting through the bars on the roof of the exercise yard. "Katingal" operated for just two years before it was closed down over human rights concern, and was finally demolished in early 2006. Human rights are rights which some hold to be inalienable and belonging to all humans. ...
