Wolston Correctional Centre
To ensure the safety of our correctional centres during the COVID-19 pandemic, visit restrictions are now in place at all Queensland prisons.
Wolston Correctional Centre, adjacent to Brisbane Women's Correctional Centre at Wacol, accommodates male protection prisoners.
The centre takes an integrated approach to the delivery of services to prisoners through a structured day timetable, which enables half of the prisoners employed in industries to work in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.
Metal fabrication, paint and powder coating, textiles and assembly workshops are the major industrial workshops at Wolston Correctional Centre. Industries operate seven days a week, 12 hours a day. This allows workers to attend programs, education, vocational training and to use other prisoner services during the part of the day they are not required for work.
The centre delivers a broad range of intervention and general offending programs and delivers a range of sexual offending treatment programs.
