Step inside and join our experienced guides as we explore Fremantle Prison from its convict origins in the 1850’s until its closure as a maximum-security gaol in 1991.
Take a visual journey back in time in the Main Cell Block where you can view life as it was for both convicts and prisoners. What type of cell would you prefer to be in?
Discover how time was passed in the yards, while marvelling at original prisoner works of art.
With a whipping post, gallows and solitary cells, Fremantle Prison is a monument to a system of punishment that is uncomfortably recent.
Pray for redemption in the chapel and laugh as our entertaining guides show you the lighter side of Prison humour.
Please note, conservation works are currently in progress in the Main Cell Block and access to some areas is restricted. Thank you for your patience.
