"The Gaol was originally established with rehabilitation as a key principle with convicts sentenced to transportation from England between 1850-1868, often served time in the gaol. The gaol was built in 1852 as a convict hiring depot and consisted of warders' quarters and cell blocks for imperial convicts shipped to Western Australia as skilled labourers for the colony. The convicts who had obtained their ticket of leave, were hired by free settlers for labour.
?Following the closure of the hiring depot in 1872, the gaol was extended in 1873 to become a public prison with women cells, the hall and more warden's quarters were constructed during this time. It was last used as a police lockup in the Great Depression of the 1930s."
