Greenough Regional Prison is an Australian prison located in Narngulu, a suburb of Geraldton, Western Australia. The prison was opened in 1984 and had an operational capacity of 328 as of November 2012. The prison houses prisoners from around the Mid West region, including a large proportion of Aboriginal prisoners. A mix of maximum (remand), medium and minimum security prisoners are held at Greenough, including 25 female prisoners, with two cells available for mothers and babies and a minimum security facility that houses 36 male prisoners. Six allegedly drunk prisoners escaped from the facility in 1989 after throwing mattresses over razor wire and climbing over.
