AGY-7434 | Malabar Training Centre / Training Centre, Long Bay Correctional Centre/Complex

Full description

The Training Centre, Long Bay Correctional Centre was declared to be a prison under the Prison Act 1952 (Act No.9, 1952) on 11 August 1989. (1)

The Training Centre, also previously known as the Malabar Training Centre, provided a low security institution for male offenders. (2). It appears that the Malabar Training Centre was established as early as 1970, after the women were moved out of the New Reformatory to the Mulawa Correctional Centre at Silverwater in 1969. The Reformatory buildings were converted into a low security institution for male offenders and renamed the Malabar Training Centre. (3)

The Training Centre, Long Bay Correctional Complex was revoked as a prison on 25 August 1995. (4)

From 25 August 1995 the Training Centre was succeeded by the Industrial Training Centre, Long Bay Correctional Complex. (5)
