Research

Were you a “crim” or a “screw”? Know someone who “did time” or ate “boo goo”? Do you possess photographs, prison souvenirs, books and documents or have a story that you would like to see preserved? Do you want your story to be preserved so others know what you experienced inside?

Our Historical Tours and Re-enactments by the Prison Players are based on the recollections of individuals – whose stories and lives have provided a personal knowledge of the daily operations of Boggo Road Gaol. This has ensured we “get it right”.

To this end have a dedicated team who record the oral history of the prison – to reveal the true story of Boggo Road. Through careful research with former officers and inmates, detailed scripts have been developed to convey the history of the prison to the general public.
