Editing HM Prison Dhurringile (section)

==Facilities==
The Dhurringile mansion had not been used to house prisoners since 2007, when new buildings were opened. The main unit was called Kyabram and housed 54 prisoners in cell accommodations. The unit had two sides, South and North. South was the reception side, where all new arrivals were housed prior to being moved into cottage accommodation. The North side was for medical hold prisoners who needed to be located within the unit on a permanent basis.

The prison also contained cottages in both C1 and C2 classifications. The C1 cottages were: Merrigum (1, 2, and 3), Kyouga (1 and 2), Echuca (1, 2, and 3), Tatchera (1, 2, and 3), and Tallygaroopna (1 and 2). Each C1 cottage housed six prisoners, each with their own bedroom. There was a main lounge area with a TV and other amenities. The prisoners in these accommodations collected their meals from the main mess hall every day, as there were no cooking facilities located within the cottages. There were also three C1 self-catered units where cooking was done within the unit.

There were three main C2 units called Garnya (1, 2, and 3), Dhugalla (1, 2, and 3), and Benalla (1, 2, and 3); these units were fully self-catered. Each prisoner had their own bedroom, and there was a large kitchen and living area. The units had two bathrooms and two toilets. Food for these units was ordered off a grocery list, and the unit was allocated $275 per week to buy groceries. Prisoners from these units were not permitted to attend the mess hall for any meals.

There was a 12-bed unit called 'Wyuna' for long-term C2 prisoners nearing the end of their sentences. Selection was required to enter this unit; prisoners could not simply request placement. The unit was composed of bedrooms with en suites. Like any C2 unit, it was unlocked at night, but prisoners obtained their meals from the mess hall.

===Upgrades===
A new kitchen, medical, library, and administration building was opened in mid-2010. It was a state-of-the-art facility. Musters were then conducted on the balcony of this building instead of in the mansion, where they had previously been held. Most musters at the jail were held at the prisoners' units or by their doors if they were located in Kyabram. However, all work musters from Monday through Friday were held on this balcony.

A 54-bed expansion was opened by Andrew McIntosh, Minister for Corrections on 31 July 2012.<ref name="mod">{{cite web |url=http://vic.liberal.org.au/News/MediaReleases.aspx?id=4031&title=Minister%20opens%20Dhurringile%20prison%20expansion |title=Minister opens Dhurringile prison expansion |date=31 July 2012 |work=Media Release |publisher=Liberal Victoria |accessdate=10 October 2012 }}</ref>

The prison continued to expand. In January 2014, 50 converted shipping containers were established on-site to house 100 prisoners. Other expansion works were underway in early 2014 to build more permanent accommodation for Victoria's growing prisoner population.
