Brisbane Correctional Centre
Upcoming changes
Queensland Corrective Services is undertaking changes at some men’s prisons across South East Queensland.
This will result in the movement of some prisoners between some centres
If you’re planning to visit a family member, friend or client during this time, we recommend contacting them ahead of your visit to confirm their location and the centre’s visits information.
You can also find them via Search for Prisoners.
Brisbane Correctional Centre (BCC) is the primary reception centre for newly sentenced male prisoners in south-east Queensland.
The ultra-modern secure facility houses mainstream, protection and residential prisoners.
Upon arrival at BCC, new prisoners are inducted into the correctional system, have their risks and needs assessed and have an offender rehabilitation plan formulated to cover the duration of their sentence.
Prisoners are then transferred to suitable correctional centres elsewhere in Queensland to complete their sentence.
A variety of dynamic offender management regimes are utilised in managing the diverse offender population that includes mainstream and protection offenders.
Formally known as the Sir David Longland Correctional Centre, the centre was reopened in June 2008 after a two-year redevelopment.
The centre has state-of-the-art security including computerised security management systems, surveillance cameras, perimeter intrusion detection systems, x-ray machines and drug detection scanners.
The centre also boasts a range of water and energy saving initiatives such as rainwater tanks, water saving fixtures, toilets with flush valves that control the number of flushes in a 24-hour period, timed shower controls and push button basin taps in cells that automatically turn off.
