HM Prison Pentridge was an Australian prison built in 1850 in Coburg, Victoria. The first prisoners arrived in 1851. The prison officially closed on 1 May 1997. Pentridge was often known by the nickname "The Bluestone College", "Coburg College" or the "College of Knowledge". The grounds were originally landscaped by renowned landscape gardener Hugh Linaker. Since decommissioning, the prison has been partly demolished to make way for a housing development. Large buildings have been built and a 16 floor modern apartment block is being planned. The site is split in two with the northern prison being developed by Valad Property Group and the other areas by Pentridge Village. The National Trust has expressed strong concerns about the nature of the Heritage Victoria-approved Master Plans which involve peppering the walls with holes and building high-density high-rise between the historic divisions. == Divisions == The prison was split into many divisions, named using letters of the alphabet. * A – Short and long-term prisoners of good behaviour but during the late 1980s till its closure it became a scene of many monthly bashings, stabbings and bludgeonings. * B – Long-term prisoners with behaviour problems * C – Vagabonds and short term prisoners, where Ned Kelly was imprisoned (Demolished early 1970s) * D – Remand prisoners * E – A dormitory division housing short term prisoners * F – Remand and short-term * G – Psychiatric problems * H – High security, discipline and protection * J – Young Offenders Group- Later for long-term with record of good behaviour * Jika Jika – maximum security risk and for protection, later renamed K Division 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「HM Prison Pentridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
