Pentridge Prison

Pentridge Prison is a former maximum-security prison located in Coburg, in the City of Merri-bek, Victoria. Established in 1851 and operating until 1997, it was Victoria's central prison for over a century. The large bluestone complex is heritage-listed and notable for its panopticon-inspired design, historic divisions including A, B, D and H Divisions, and its redevelopment as the Pentridge Coburg precinct with guided tours, retail and residential areas.
