Inspector of Custodial Services

Tamworth Correctional Centre

We conducted an inspection of Tamworth Correctional Centre in November 2021.

  • Tamworth Correctional Centre is a medium-security facility that accommodates up to 89 men
  • the centre accommodates for a high percentage of Aboriginal men
  • the centre is located near the town centre of Tamworth in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales.

Our inspection focused on:

  • custodial conditions, including safety and security
  • treatment, care and wellbeing of inmates, including privacy
  • rehabilitation of inmates, including programs, education, and preparation for release
  • resources and systems, including the staffing and management of each correctional centre.

The Inspector of Custodial Services may consider any other relevant matters in the course of this inspection.
