Long Bay Correctional Complex, officially known as Her Majesty's Australian Prison Long Bay, and commonly called just Long Bay for short, is an Australian maximum and minimum security prison for males and females, is located at Malabar, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The complex is located approximately south of the Sydney CBD. The facility is operated by Corrective Services NSW, a department administered by the Government of New South Wales. The Complex accepts sentenced and unsentenced felons under New South Wales and/or Commonwealth legislation and comprises three separate facilities including the Long Bay Hospital (a maximum security institution for medical and psychiatric cases); the Metropolitan Special Programs Centre (a maximum/minimum security institution); and the Special Purpose Centre (a maximum security institution for inmates requiring special protection). ==History== Long Bay was opened due to the imminent closure of Darlinghurst Gaol. The State Reformatory for Women was opened in 1909〔 and the State Penitentiary for Men was opened beside it in 1914.〔 Gallows were in operation at the Complex from 1917 to 1939.〔 The reformatory became part of the prison in the late 1950s, known as the Long Bay Penitentiary. After the Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre (formerly known as Mulawa) was opened in 1970, the women's prison was vacated and converted into a medium security prison for men.〔 A report on prison reform released in 1946 found overcrowding at Long Bay. It recommended that sewerage replace pan systems in major gaols and that prisoners should have two more hours each day out of their cells. A significant case of public health arose in July 1990 when a mentally ill, HIV-positive prisoner was being escorted in the exercise yard. The prisoner took a syringe filled with his infected blood and stabbed a probationary prisoner officer. The prison officer was diagnosed with the virus five weeks later and died in 1997, aged 28. In the late 1990s the facility was redeveloped to offer special treatment units which offer programs for sex offenders; those with intellectual disabilities; drug and alcohol abuse; or the use of violence.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Long Bay Correctional Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
