Redruth Gaol, Historic prison in Burra, Australia.
The stone building holds eight prison cells within its walls, surrounded by secure exercise yards and former administrative offices.
Established in 1856 for £3200, Redruth Gaol marked the first correctional facility outside Adelaide in South Australia.
The facility transformed from a prison into a girls reformatory in 1897, reflecting social changes in the Australian correctional system.
Visitors access the prison through the Burra Heritage Passport system, available at the Burra Visitor Centre for daily self-guided tours.
The prison cells housed twenty-two inmates in 1876, leading to concerns about overcrowding in the eight available containment spaces.
