Port Augusta Prison is a multi-purpose facility providing
accommodation for up to 280 high, medium and low security prisoners
including protectees and special needs prisoners. Of this 280-bed
capacity, up to 8 beds are utilised for women prisoners.
The prison is one of only two facilities in the State that
provides specific accommodation for female prisoners and the only
prison to provide regular accommodation for both male and female
prisoners.
The Department’s Mobile Outback Work Camps (MOWCamps) operate
from this prison. The program continues to provide benefits to the
community through its work in National Parks at Balcoona, Danggali,
and the Coorong and the Gawler Ranges. Danggali has recently been
wound down with the advent of a new camp in the Gawler Ranges.
Significant work has been undertaken at Cantara Homestead, located
at the southern end of the Coorong. Prisoners have spent many hours
renovating the building to a level where it is now used as living
quarters for the camp.
The prison has a MOU with the Corporation City of Port Augusta
to facilitate community service projects. These projects are
undertaken by a work gang which operates from the low security
cottages, and include various work details undertaking graffiti
removal, park construction and maintenance and general clean up of
the foreshore area. This community service has also extended to
other community organisations.
The prison has increased its ability to reduce the amount of
water wastage, by installing a 45 000 litre tank that is used in
conjunction with the current system to treat ‘grey water’. This
water is recycled and used on the oval. As a further expansion of
the recycled water program, materials were purchased for the
installation of a trial subsurface irrigation system. Prisoners
under the supervision of Building Services staff will install the
system. The long-term goal is to have all garden areas irrigated
with recycled water, significantly reducing the use of mains
water.

Found by Moneybox in the pitch dark with an LED torch so was a good find. Very excited to find two lovely and very different geocoins in there. They are now travelling to WA with us to be placed in caches later. Thanx. TFTC, TFTF By the way these coords were absolutely perfect, well done. Also, we added a pencil for the logbook as there wasn't one in the cache.
