Albany Regional Prison is located on Minang land, in Albany, Western Australia.
Albany is a receival prison for men and women from local courts or police for the Great Southern Region. Men may continue to reside there on remand, or after sentence, but women are transferred to a prison in Perth. It is also Western Australia’s third maximum-security prison and functions as an alternative placement option for maximum-and-medium-security prisoners from Perth or other regions.
Albany Regional Prison was opened as a 72-bed minimum-security prison in September 1966.
