Woodford Correctional Centre is an Australian prison facility located in Woodford, Queensland, Australia.
The prison is the highest security facility in Queensland as mentioned located in Woodford Queensland, approximately 80 kilometres from Brisbane and 30 minutes from Caboolture.On April 1st 1997, 120 prisoners managed to escape from the secure unit by 'melting' the lexen walls with toasters & other items, making their way to the central officers unit and then going on into the low security residential area where they were joined by hundreds of angry inmates protesting the new prison policy of it being a non-smoking facity. Prisoners were offered a three month supply of nicotine patches costing the Government $42 million. It took several days before the Centre's Custodial Officers and the TRG (tactical response group) finally resumed control. Woodford Correction Centre has since changed its non-smoking policy
