Northern Immigration Detention Centre, Immigration detention facility in Coonawarra, Darwin, Australia.
The Northern Immigration Detention Centre operates with a capacity of 554 individuals, housing people during their immigration application processing in the Northern Territory.
In August 2010, the facility experienced a significant event when 90 Afghan detainees escaped following a riot involving 100 people climbing onto building roofs.
The center functions as part of Australia's immigration system, processing cases of unauthorized arrivals and individuals awaiting visa status determination.
The facility provides essential services including medical care, food services, and recreational activities while maintaining security protocols for detained individuals.
Located in Darwin's outer suburb of Coonawarra, the center primarily accommodates illegal foreign fishers caught in Australian waters.
