Prison Visits 2015

The prison tours have been arranged to ensure the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) delegates have an opportunity to visit Victoria’s prisons and observe first-hand Victoria’s contemporary prison system and the manner in which it manages operational risk. ICPA members are encouraged to view details of Victoria’s prisons by accessing Corrections Victoria’s website: www.corrections.vic.gov.au

It is intended that 13 of the State’s 14 prisons (including the Judy Lazarus Transition Centre) will be available to tour on Friday 30 October 2015 and a number of these tours will provide delegates with an opportunity to enjoy a number of Victoria’s popular tourist attractions. It is anticipated that ICPA delegates will only be able to participate on one tour arranged on this day. 

The majority of the tours will be conducted between 0800 hours to 1730 hours on this day, commencing from a location in the heart of the city. The following table provides an overview of the schedule of tours. Approximately 280 delegates are able to be accommodated on the attached schedule of tours (assuming a minimum of 20 delegates on each tour). 

*PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME PRISON TOURS HAVE ASSOCIATED COSTS THAT THE DELEGATE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING.  COSTS HAVE BEEN OUTLINED ON THE APPLICABLE PRISON TOURS
