Female Correctional Facility

Construction underway for Vanuatu’s new female Correctional Centre

“It is well known that correctional facilities in Port Vila are old buildings from the colonial era and it is my Department’s priority to see new buildings funded and constructed to provide safe and secure containment of dangerous offenders” said Johnny Marango, Director of the Department of Correctional Services.

“We are thus very grateful to the New Zealand Government who have agreed to fund construction of a new Female Correctional Centre in Port Vila.”
