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 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.
Notable prisoners
- Brenden Abbott, the "Postcard Bandit"
- Geoffrey Robert Dobbs, labeled Australia's worst pedophile, pleaded guilty to 124 sex offences and one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice committed against 63 girls under his care as a teacher and youth leader from 1972 to 2000
- Jason Nixon, prison serial killer
