Ridgeway Correctional Centre is a medium security correctional facility for adult male offenders, operated under a services agreement with the state corrective services agency. The centre holds up to 640 sentenced and remand prisoners across six accommodation units, an assessment and reception unit and a minimum security work camp. Ridgeway provides custodial supervision, case management, offender programs, education and vocational training, health referral, visits, escorts to court and medical appointments, and community based supervision of offenders on parole and community work orders through its Maitland office.
The centre runs 24 hours a day on a three-shift rotation. Custodial Operations staffs the accommodation units, the yards and the industries workshops. Security and Intelligence runs the gatehouse, the central monitoring station, searches and the intelligence function. Offender Services delivers case management, programs and reintegration planning. Reception, Records and Escorts manages inductions, sentence records, property and all movements outside the fence. Health, Safety and Wellbeing and Corporate Services support every other unit. Each shift starts with a briefing in the muster room and ends with a written handover.
The safety of staff, prisoners and visitors comes before speed, convenience or cost in every decision.
Every person in custody is treated with respect and has their rights and welfare protected.
Staff act honestly, report accurately and follow procedure even when no one is watching.
