Childrens Section Index.

The children`s section building was originally constructed as a contagious disease isolation cell, possibly as a result of the public outcry concerning Fannie Bay Gaol accepting prisoners from East Arm Leprosarium. The boundry at the north west corner of the Gaol site was extended, with a former Gaoler`s residence demolished ( foundations of the last residence might still be detected on the north west side outside the fence ). Plans were requested for a three cell isolation block. The plans were submitted to the Commonwealth Department of Works, Northern Territory in January 1963 and the building was constructed some time after that.
The building was used most recently in Gaol history as accommodation for refugee Vietnamese boat people
