Womens Section Index.

Originally there were no separate quarters for women but they eventually allocated one cell in 1928. It was described as to the back of the prison kitchen and next to the single officers` mess. Adjoining the cell was a shower and potato store. These facilities were shared by male officers. This proximity contributed to some of the areas of concern aired in a 1956 Inquiry and the structure was demolished at some stage. The current women`s section is a concrete block building with corrugated galvanised iron roof which was constructed some time after 1956.
