HM Prison Langi Kal Kal is an Australian prison located at Trawalla, near Beaufort, Victoria, Australia. The prison is a minimum security prison farm and all inmates are required to work at this prison.

The 110 prisoners are housed in five different units, the largest being Ripon, the reception unit. Each prisoner has their own room, (being a minimum security facility, they are called rooms, not cells). Final Muster is at 10.00pm, after which all units are locked down, individual rooms are not locked seperatly, allowing prisoners access to bathrooms, tea, coffee, etc.

All prisoners work on any of the following teams: farm (3000 head cattle and sheep farm), contract manufacturing carpentry room, grounds maintenance, laundry, kitchen, or executive kitchen.

Prisoners are paid roughly $5 per day, with which they can buy items such as soda, tobacco, and personal care items.

Breakfast is cereal served in the units, and both lunch and dinner are cooked meals. None of the prisoners in the kitchen team are cooks, chefs, or are in any way qualified to prepare the hundreds of meals a day necessary to feed the inmates. The cooked meals are served in the dining hall, though most prisoners choose to walk their meals back to their rooms to eat while watching TV.
