PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES
Retail Outlet for Industry items at the National Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame
On 1 February 2016, the NT Correctional Industries opened a new retail outlet at the Old Gaol in
Alice Springs selling arts and crafts produced by prisoners in the ASCC.
Historically, the idea for an outlet for products produced by prisoners originated in Darwin and was
sold at the Fannie Bay Gaol. This outlet was called Rogues Gallery and operated in the early 1990’s
and manned by prisoners from the DCC under the guidance of a staff member.
The current store at the National Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame in Alice Springs has the capacity to
train prisoners towards vocational qualifications in retail, providing them with skills to obtain work
on release in this field. Items produced by prisoners and sold at the shop include a number of art
and craft mediums including acrylic paintings on canvas, painted jewel boxes, carpentry furniture,
metal fabrication furniture, mulga boomerangs, pine painted boomerangs, bush toys, furniture items,
metal fabrication plasma art such as mobiles, wall hangings and garden spikes.
Items made by prisoners from Alice Springs Correctional Centre now sold in the retail outlet at the National
Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame
