His ghost and many more were said to haunt the prison.In the 1980s Boggo Road was the scene of dramatic escapes, riots, hunger-strikes and roof-top protests which led to the prisons official closure 25 years ago in July 1992.Heritage-listed No. 2 Division – the remaining section of Boggo Road – is as it was when it closed.
