Port Augusta Prison in the north of South Australia.

This prison can accommodate up to 264 prisoners, including 13 females. The prisoner has facilities for high, medium and low security. Many of the State’s Aboriginal prisoners are accommodated here because of the prison’s proximity to the Tribal Lands of the Far North of South Australia. Education, work and programs applicable to Aboriginal people are run here. The prison also has a small low security cottage facility from which day leave programs are run. Work crews in Mobile Outback Work Camps are dispatched from this prison to work improving national parks around South Australia.
