Junee Correctional Centre is a medium security Australian male prison located at Junee, 40km from Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia.
The prison was opened on March 19, 1993. Junee is the only privately operated prison in New South Wales. [1]
[edit] History
Junee was selected as the site for a new prison when the New South Wales State Government called for expressions of interest from local councils in 1988. The prison is managed by Australian Correctional Services (ACS), a consortium of ADT Australia, Theiss Contractors and Wackenhut Corrections Corporation.
Junee was the first prison in Australia to be designed, constructed and managed by the private sector under a single contractual arrangement.
