点评:We had a great time here as a family! Sadly we weren't able to have a current inmate take us on the tour - but doing it as a self-guided tour was still an amazing experience, and we learnt so much. Our kids (10, 12, 14) were all engaged the whole time - and it wasn't too confronting for them, but I'd definitely suggest that parents are prepared for some conversations with kids to explain some historic elements of our corrective practices.
The gift shop, full of amazing artworks by current inmates, was brilliant, and we loved picking up a beautiful piece of art. Also loved the insights from the current manager at the end of the tour, including being able to see and operate the gallows from Bathurst Gaol!
An absolutely brilliant experience, and well worth dropping by when you're in Cooma - or even passing through. We spent about an hour there all up.
翻译:我们一家人在这里度过了非常愉快的时光!可惜的是,我们没能请到在押犯人带我们参观——不过,即使是自助游,也是一次非常棒的体验,我们学到了很多东西。我们的孩子(10岁、12岁和14岁)全程都非常投入——对他们来说,参观过程并没有让他们感到太过震撼。但我还是建议家长们做好准备,和孩子们进行一些关于监狱改造历史的讲解。
礼品店里摆满了在押犯人创作的精美艺术品,非常棒,我们很喜欢挑选一件心仪的艺术品。参观结束时,现任监狱长也给我们讲解了很多,包括参观并操作巴瑟斯特监狱的绞刑架!
这是一次非常棒的体验,如果你在库马,或者只是路过,都非常值得来这里参观。我们一共在那里待了一个小时左右。
