Pardelup Prison Farm

Pardelup Prison Farm is an Australian minimum security prison located on a 2,600-hectare (6,425-acre) mixed-farming operation 27 km west of Mount Barker, Western Australia. The site was originally the home of Andrew Muir (1802-1874), a district pioneer and flour-miller, and became a prison farm in 1927.

A work camp of the same name commenced in June 2002, initially accommodating 12 prisoners, and provides services to the Shire of Plantagenet and the town of Mount Barker.
