Definitely a gaol worth pursuing. The prison is a classic Australian design, all stone walls and solitary cells. The complex replaced a stockade in 1859 and stayed open until 2004. A long stretch.
The exercise yard, pure blacktop. Ned Kelly mural. The famous bushranger outlaw was a prisoner at the gaol, as was his mother. A real family business of crime.
Looking down one of the wings, iron staircase and rows of cell doors.
Inside a cell. Hardcore stickers on the door and sparse furnishings. Understatement.

Daily movement board. Yes, labeled as gangs. How do you get in the Refuse to Work box?
