Background
Gladstone Gaol is a historic former prison in Gladstone, South Australia. It is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. The prison was built between 1879 and 1881. It was built to address chronic overcrowding in regional prisons in South Australia, and was built to a model prison plan by the then governor of Bristol Prison in England. It was designed to house both male and female prisoners from the beginning.
