West Kimberly Regional prison by TAG Architects and iredale pederson hook architects.
The West Kimberly Regional Prison, in a far flung corner of one of Australia’s most remote regions, is paving the way for innovative prison design. Instead of oppressive grey walls and security wire, the inmates here live in self-care houses, surrounded by wide open spaces, native plants and buildings that blend into the natural surrounds. The mainly Indigenous prison population also has access to education, training and rehab programs and their families, Elders, lore and culture.
