Take a step back in time and join us on a 60-minute tour through D Division and learn about the history of Pentridge Prison.

 

Pentridge Prison, established in 1851, is a heritage-listed former prison located in Coburg, Victoria. D Division holds historical significance as it was initially the first women's prison in 1894 before becoming the Metropolitan Remand Centre for the Victoria justice system.

 

Our tours provide visitors with insights into the site's history. Tours are led by individuals who have firsthand experience, offering visitors a distinct and immersive encounter.

 

Visitors can explore all three tiers of D Division, the condemned and observation cells, hallways, exercise yard, and the site where eleven executions took place between 1932 and 1967, including the last woman and man executed in Australia, Jean Lee and Ronald Ryan.
