"Boronia Pre-release Centre for Women" takes prisoners from Bandyup Women's prison who have achieved a rating of Minimum Security.
By housing them in an environment that closely mirrors life outside of prison it attempts to allow for a less traumatic transition back to normal life. Staff help facilitate training of the prisoners and in conjunction with local businesses try to arrange employment on their release.
The purpose is to help the women integrate back into the community and allow them the opportunity to radically change their lives in a positive and empowering manner giving them the best possible chance of avoiding any future return to prison.
