Boggo Road Gaol, Historic prison in Dutton Park, Queensland, Australia.
The No. 2 Division building remains standing with thick limestone walls, high ceilings, and cells designed according to late 19th-century prison standards.
Opened in July 1883, Boggo Road Gaol served as Queensland's main correctional facility until its closure in 1992, witnessing 42 executions during its operation.
The former prison now functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Queensland's penal system through exhibits and historical artifacts.
Located near Brisbane's center, the facility offers guided tours led by staff who share detailed information about daily prison operations and inmate experiences.
The facility contains the last remaining intact 19th-century prison structure in Queensland, featuring the 1903 women's division known as No. 2 Division.
