Rockhampton Correctional Centre

I'm interested to hear views on this one (and potentially others like it). The question is: are Australian ex-prisons notable? On the one hand, one might assume that there are many extensive historical sources which are inevitably written about a prison, and some may well still exist in the relevant archives. Building reports, inspection reports etc. On the other hand, we have a WP page that has been without refs for many years, with little obvious available to find about it. My view is that it would likely require significant effort to draw together sources from historical official archives to have enough to write a page and that would be WP:OR. Unless someone has already written a book about it that I've missed. JMWt (talk) 08:32, 3 March 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Redirect to Capricornia_Correctional_Centre in this instance. There's no point in keeping an unsourced stub that merely declares that it existed, especially when we already have an article on its replacement. But no prejudice against recreation if it turns out to have a long and interesting, well-sourced history. Elemimele (talk) 12:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
