	Pentridge Prison - Melbourne Crime - Underworld - Ganglands
		All the Pentridge divisions are at or near capacity except B division, which is beyond it.

		Jika prisoners are able to spend up to 15 hours a day out of their cells, either in the exercise yard or a day room.

	Hybeam's inside job on Pentridge Prison
		Coburg's old Pentridge Prison is being transformed into an urban piazza precinct, a commercial and residential hub with people now eager to get in rather than out.

	Private Prisons Information Action Kit - People's Justice Alliance
		Prison is not an isolated institution, it is part of a continuum in the control of women, whether by our lack of access to economic independence, violence, racism or specific laws that target women such as prostitution and social security.
		The experience in other private prisons has been that in order to minimise costs and maximise profits there are lower staff to prisoner ratios and a heavy reliance on electronic security techniques creating a "sensory deprivation environment" where prisoners are subjected to constant electronic surveillance in an environment with little human contact.
		Pentridge men's prison will also be closed and replaced by a remand and maximum security private men's prison in Sale and a private men's multifunctional and remand prison in Laverton North.

		After his execution on the 11th of November 1880, the remains of prisoner Edward Kelly were placed in a grave within the confines of the Melbourne Gaol in Russell Street in Melbourne, Victoria (now known as 'The Old Melbourne Gaol'), but not before his organs and head were removed.
		In the case of the Melbourne Gaol, matters are further confused due to the gaol's closure and the subsequent transferring of bodies in its graveyard to Pentridge Prison in 1929.
		Ned's grave site is apparently marked on a map of Pentridge graveyard made after the 1929 grave relocation, however this does not prove that his remains lie under the spot identified.

	Chopper Heavy - The Legend
		He has also served some 24 years in prison on charges ranging from assault, armed robbery, kidnapping (of a judge), malicious wounding and was charged (but acquitted) with the murder of a drug dealer.
		In my opinion the features that have enabled Chopper to surivive his violent life, are his strength of character, his rat cunning, his eloquence, and his ability to quickly adapt himself to whatever situation in which he finds himself.
		In 1991 while serving time in Pentridge prison, Chopper produced his first book which was a compilation of letters he had written to a journalist.
