Description: This is a photograph of a dormitory at Mount Penang Detention Centre. It shows a large hall with three long rows of beds, each with a bedside table next to it. Some of the beds have patterned blankets on them while others are bare. At the end of the hall are several pieces of recreation equipment, such as a ping pong table, pool table, and weight-lifting equipment, and a bench with a hot water urn. There is a small bathroom at the end of the room, and a booth with windows surrounding it in the middle of the hall – presumably where staff could sit and supervise. This photograph is part of a collection of photographs from children’s Homes and Institutions held by the NSW Department of Community Justice.
