Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre houses some of Queensland’s alleged serial stalkers, torturers and murderers while they are on remand.
It is a high security men’s remand correctional centre, where defendants are held while awaiting sentence or a trial.
The prison at Wacol, south of Brisbane, opened in 1992 and holds almost 900 inmates.
Some of the alleged offending by inmates includes a man charged with the murder of his own mother, after her body was discovered in the boot of a car, a pair who stabbed a bikie associate outside a gym and a couple who tortured and murdered their baby.
A violent bar brawl where a skull was fractured, a brutal hostage situation where a man was tortured and looted and a shotgun to the head of an ex-partner are some of the other alleged offences that saw these men remanded at Arthur Gorrie.
This list looks at the most serious alleged offending by inmates who are waiting in Arthur Gorrie prison before their matters are finalised.
None of the accused below have been to trial and each denies wrongdoing.

The son of Gold Coast woman Wendy Sleeman faced Brisbane Supreme Court charged with her murder, following her disappearance and the subsequent discovery of her body at a Brisbane unit complex in Windsor.
The body of Wendy Sleeman, 61, was found in the boot of her blue Honda Jazz in a Windsor garage on January 24 this year.
Slade Murdok, 30, denied any involvement in his mother’s disappearance.

Police charged Reinhardt (Ryan) Bosch, 33, and his partner Noemi Kondacs, 22, with murder and torture on November 3 2022, following the death of their seven-month-old son Rhuan.
“I’ve been a detective for 30-odd years and it’s one of the most confronting scenes that I’ve seen,” said Detective Inspector David Jackman.
Callum Luke Westcott Fisher
A Maroochydore man who allegedly used his position of power as a nightclub security guard to target women has been denied bail because of the “significant risk” he poses to the public.

He is accused of shooting them with a rifle at close range – killing them.
The brief of evidence on the murder charges and attempted murder charge relating to a fourth member of the family, Ross Tighe, was due on October 31.

The case was adjourned until February 28.
