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.
