Berrimah Prison (historic)

Background

Berrimah Prison, was an Australian maximum security prison formerly located in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. The centre was managed by Northern Territory Correctional Services, an agency of the Department of Justice of the Government of the Northern Territory. The centre detained sentenced and charged felons under Northern Territory and/or Commonwealth law. Following significant overcrowding, decommission plans were put into place and the adult facility was closed on Friday 28 November 2014. The Don Dale Youth Detention Centre was moved to the Berrimah prison site following an incident at that prison.
