Cadell Training is located approximately 180 km north-east of Adelaide and is situated on the River Murray 10 km from Morgan.
Cadell accommodates up to 145 low security male prisoners in various styles of accommodation including a cellblock, cottages and a dormitory. Cadell Training Centre does not have a secure parameter fence and prisoners are at Cadell under their own trust.
Cadell promotes a drug free environment for prisoners with over fifty percent of it’s prison population housed in Drug Free Cottage accommodation. Prisoners living in these independent living areas develop life skills and have extra privileges available to them. Selected prisoners are able to join the local CFS and/or the Community Work Unit.
A significant focus for Cadell Training Centre is in the area of Restorative Justice. Prisoners undertake and have completed many community work projects including local cemetery upgrades, painting and restoring Scout Hall, RSL Hall, Football Club Rooms and development of the new Cadell Oval Building Upgrade and Campground Construction in association with the Cadell Community & Tourist Association.
At Cadell Training Centre prisoners take part in a structured day. All prisoners work either on the prison farm where the focus is dairy production and packaging, citrus and the new development area of olives or in the prison service areas where prisoners can participate in maintenance, kitchen, laundry, grounds or servery work.
Cadell Training Centre’s newest focus is REACHOUT a program that targets and addresses young offenders with drug and alcohol problems. The program is partnered with OAR SA and is expected to run for two years.
