Notorious children's jail could become minimum-security adult prison farm

Tasmania will convert the Ashley Youth Detention Centre in Deloraine into a minimum-security prison farm after closing the troubled youth facility in 2028. The repurposed site will house approximately 40 prisoners in an agriculture-based rehabilitation program. The move reverses a 2012 decision to close Hayes Prison Farm, which the government now considers a misstep that limited rehabilitation opportunities.
