HM Prison Morwell River opened in 1951 was an open prison located near Morwell Victoria. Inmates and prison officers (normally bitter enemies crims and screws) called a truce while working on the project. Prisoners were taken to shopping centers in Morwell and left unattended at total liberty and on trust to rattle their tins. Civilian clothes (rather than the shapeless prison green tracksuits and Dunlop sneakers) were worn.
