Capricornia 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.
Capricornia Correctional Centre, which is located 20 kilometres north of Rockhampton, provides facilities for remand, reception and sentenced prisoners.
The centre has secure and residential accommodation for high security prisoners and a farm complex for low security prisoners.
In 2021 the centre completed a $241 million expansion to increase prisoner capacity as well as upgrades to the infrastructure including industries, kitchen laundry, prisoner processing and the medical unit.
The centre offers a wide range of programs and services to prisoners, as well as providing an environment devoted to integrated vocational education and training.
The Springsure, Clermont and Blackall Work camps are aligned to the centre.
