It is designed for the management of persistently violent, disruptive or otherwise difficult prisoners, not only from Goulburn but from all over the state. Physically, the Centre is very high-tech and security conscious. This is the first time, the Department argues, that a custom-built gaol has been built like this. It has two perimeter fences, camera surveillance, and even x-rays all food.
Visitors have to undergo full-on security checks.
