Brisbane Correctional Centre, formerly the Sir David Longland Correctional Centre, is a prison facility located at Wacol (near Brisbane), Queensland, Australia. The prison is expected to receive its first inmates, after refurbishment and expansion, in January of 2008.
The newly-renovated prison houses a water conservation system, a unit specifically designed for 17-year-old prisoners, and an ultra-modern maximum security wing for dangerous offenders. [1]
