The Silverwater Correctional Complex, an Australian maximum and minimum security prison complex for males and females, is located in Silverwater, {{convert|21|km|mi}} west of the Sydney central business district in New South Wales, Australia. The complex is operated by Corrective Services NSW, an agency of the Department of Attorney General and Justice, of the Government of New South Wales.

The complex comprises four separate facilities including Silverwater Correctional Centre (a minimum security prison for males); Silverwater Women's Correctional Centre (a maximum security institution for women and the major reception centre for female offenders in NSW); the Metropolitan Remand & Reception Centre (a maximum security correctional facility for males); and the Dawn de Loas Correctional Centre (a minimum security correctional centre for males).[1]

The complex accepts prisoners charged and convicted under New South Wales and/or Commonwealth legislation and serves as a reception prison for inmates on remand or pending classification.

The Centre is divided into twelve living units, a protection/segregation area, an induction unit, a hospital annexe, and provides accommodation for both sentenced and unsentenced inmates and various special program units.[3] The facility opened in 1970 as the old women's prison at Long Bay was converted into a medium security facility for men.[4]

Fraud is the most common reason for imprisonment.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} Inmates are eligible to study for national recognised qualifications including vocation and TAFE courses.[4]

In the 2010 New South Wales state budget, the prison was allocated $200,000 for a new video conferencing system.[5]

The Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre (MRRC), an Australian maximum security facility for males is located within the complex. The prison opened in 1997, and has a capacity of 900 inmates. It is the largest single correctional centre in Australia.[8] The majority of inmates are unconvicted or unsentenced.[9]

In March, 1999, librarian Lucy Dudko hired a helicopter supposedly to check out the upcoming Olympic site in Sydney. Using a gun, she forced pilot, Tim Joyce, to land within the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre grounds. Waiting was John Killick, who was serving 28 years for armed robberies. He jumped in the helicopter making an escape while being fired on by guards and cheered on by inmates.[10] They landed in a park where Killick hijacked a taxi at gunpoint. The two were able to elude authorities for six weeks before being arrested at the Bass Hill Tourist Park.[10]

In 2004, the Independent Commission Against Corruption conducted an investigation at the prison which concluded that mobile phones were becoming a significant security threat in Australian correctional facilities.[11]

In April 2012, the facility was inundated with members of outlaw motorcycle clubs. Segregation between members of the same gangs is enforced in an effort to break member ties.[12]
