I think that's the old one that's closed down now. This is the new information from the Department of Justice:

Address: 494 Flat Rock Road, Beechworth
Postal address: Locked Bag 3, BEECHWORTH VIC 3747
Phone: (03) 5728 0055
Fax: (03) 5728 0082
Operator: Corrections Victoria
Security level: Minimum
Capacity: 120
Prison profile: Focus on reparation and pre-release activities, preparing prisoners for release back into the community.
History: The Beechworth Correctional Centre was commissioned in January 2005, following the closure of the 144 year old historic Beechworth Prison located in the centre of the township in December 2004. The Beechworth Correctional Centre is located approximately 5km south of the Beechworth township (some 270km north-east of Melbourne). Beechworth is the most distant of the Victorian prisons from Melbourne.

The design of the prison complements its rural surroundings, and creates an environment that, as far as possible, reflects life in the general community, including structure, choice and personal responsibility.

Accommodation: Accommodation comprises 15 eight man units, named after local townships within the north-east region of Victoria. While all of the units have separate rooms with communal living / kitchenette facilities, eight of the units are self-catering. There is also one management cell and one observation cell.

Dhurringile Prison (Male) Classification Minimum

Accommodation


10 six-person cottage units
18 self-contained units
Three six-person self-catering units
One 52-bed Relocatable Cellular Unit.History

Dhurringile Prison was originally the 68-room homestead for a large farm and was completed in 1877. During the war it was used as an internment camp for 'alien civilians' and later for prisoners of war. After the war the Presbyterian Church used it as a training camp for English and Scottish orphans, until the Victorian Government purchased it in 1965 to use as a minimum security prison. Over the years the grounds have been reduced to just over 100 hectares (one square mile). The prison is 160km north of Melbourne.

Function: Pre-release prison
