Long Bay Correctional Centre, Maximum security prison in Malabar, Australia

The Long Bay Correctional Complex spans 32 hectares and includes specialized facilities for medical care, psychiatric treatment, and inmate rehabilitation programs.

The facility began operations in 1909 as the State Reformatory for Women, with the State Penitentiary for Men joining the complex in 1914.

The land where Long Bay Correctional Centre stands was previously used by Aboriginal people for fishing and traditional practices before European settlement.

The correctional facility maintains two main operational units: Long Bay Hospital for medical and psychiatric cases and the Metropolitan Special Programs Centre.

The Katingal unit, operational from 1975, featured advanced surveillance systems but closed due to public concerns about severe confinement conditions.
