Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre

The Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre (AGCC) is operated by Queensland Corrective Services (QCS) and serves as one of the principal reception and remand centres for male inmates in South‑East Queensland.

Facility Overview & Operational Context

• AGCC was opened in 1992 and is designed to accommodate newly sentenced and remand male prisoners, with high‑security classification units and reception/assessment functions.
• It has undergone expansion to address growth in remand populations; a business case evaluated adding additional cells to meet demand.
• The centre houses mainstream, protection, and higher risk inmates pending classification or transfer into longer‑term custodial facilities.

Types of Offences & Inmate Profiles

Because Arthur Gorrie serves as a reception/remand centre, the types of criminal matters connected with it include:

• Offenders on remand awaiting trial or sentencing for serious offences (violent crime, major drug offences, sexual offences)
• Newly‑sentenced offenders pending classification and allocation to longer‑term custodial settings
• Inmates requiring protection classification or specialised management during their reception phase
