Capricornia Correctional Centre

The Capricornia Correctional Centre (CCC), serves as a remand, reception and sentenced facility, housing male inmates across both high‑ and low‑security classifications.

Facility Features & Operational Context

• The centre underwent a significant expansion, with a $241 million upgrade commissioned in 2022 to nearly double its capacity via an additional 348 cells and 398 beds.
• It features modernised infrastructure, improved security systems and updated industry‑, training‑ and rehabilitation‑focused resources.
• A notable program delivered at CCC is the “Disrupting Family Violence Program” (DFVP), a 10‑week behaviour‑change initiative for perpetrators of domestic and family violence.

Types of Offences & Inmate Profiles

As a facility accommodating both high‑ and low‑security male inmates, the criminal case profiles associated with CCC include:

• Serious offences such as violent crime, large‑scale drug matters or other high‑risk custodial placements.
• Prisoners eligible for lower‑custody or rehabilitation regimes who may progress through classification to less restrictive settings.
• Issues of remand, transfers and classification reviews that affect placement and management.
