[2] The prison is operated by GEO Group Australia, under contract to the Victorian Government.

[4] GEO Group Australia already currently operates Fullham Correctional Centre, the medium security prison located in Sale, Victoria.

[5] The contract includes provisions ensuring the operator, GEO Group Australia, will receive up to $2 million per year in bonuses for recidivism rates 12 per cent lower than other Victorian prisons.

[2][6] It is constantly short staffed with an extremely high staff turnover and large amount of assaults which go unreported.

Accommodation facilities within the prison include both cells – made up of pre-constructed "lego-block" style modules to avoid damage caused by the type of riots experienced at other Victorian prisons – and four and six bed dormitories.
