Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre is an Australian prison located on the Ipswich Motorway at Wacol in the western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. It is a high security prison (with a maximum security unit) that is used for remand prisoners, and also for the temporary detention of prisoners while their 'security level' is ascertained.
The prison is a relatively modern facility with TVs, showers and toilets in all rooms and shared dining facilities.
Managed by the GEO Group Australia, the Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre is the second of Queensland's privately operated non-government prisons, sharing that notation with the Southern Queensland Correctional Centre.

“Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“St. Augustine described the nature of God as a circle whose centre was everywhere, and its circumference nowhere.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
