The Separate Prison at Port Arthur Historic Site is a remarkable example of 19th-century penal architecture, designed to enforce solitary confinement and promote prisoner reflection. Completed in 1853, its cross-shaped layout features exercise yards at each corner, with wings radiating from a central surveillance hub. This design allowed warders to observe prisoners without direct contact, embodying the principles of the "Silent System." Visitors can explore the prison's history through guided tours, offering insights into its unique design and the experiences of those incarcerated within its walls.
