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.

When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
