Background

Oberon Correctional Centre is an Australian minimum security prison for young male offenders located in Gurnang, 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Oberon, New South Wales. The centre is operated by Corrective Services NSW an agency of the Department of Communities and Justice of the Government of New South Wales. The centre detains sentenced offenders for both state and federal crimes. The centre caters for one of the final stages of the Corrective Services Young Offenders Program, which attempts to separate younger inmates from older, hardened inmates, and prepares them for eventual release. The prison has been closed since a memo was circulated in December 2022 announcing a temporary closure due to staffing shortages within as NSW Corrections.
