Mary Hutchinson Women's Prison
The Mary Hutchinson Women's Prison upgrade was completed in October 2018, with the official opening of the Dr Vanessa Goodwin cottages.
The $2.6 million project, which includes five specifically designed rooms to cater for mothers and their babies, was named to honour the public service of former Attorney-General and Minister for Corrections Dr Vanessa Goodwin.
The cottages were opened by Premier Will Hodgman and Attorney-General Elise Archer.
Department of Justice Secretary Kathrine Morgan-Wicks congratulated all involved in bringing the project to fruition.

Ron Barwick Minimum Security Prison
Upgrades to Division 7 are now complete to accommodate prisoners with physical and age-related disabilities.
A small number of prisoners worked alongside nine Tasmanian companies on this project.
These prisoners worked on the demolition of old infrastructure, steel fabrication and painting.
