HM Prison Tarrengower is a women's prison located in Maldon, Victoria, Australia. It focuses on release preparation for the women, and provides them with programs and employment opportunities, also allowing them to build confidence and skill sets when it comes to gaining and maintaining employment both whilst in custody and also upon their release.[neutrality is disputed]
It offers legal training to empower women to be involved in community organisations following their release.[1] It also has facilities for pregnant women and for babies to stay with their mothers.[2]
