Frequently asked
How many prisons are there in Oceania?
This atlas records 222 prisons, jails and detention centres in 18 countries of Oceania. Counts depend on what each country's official registers and open map data list, so small facilities may be missing.
Which country in Oceania has the most facilities in the atlas?
Australia has the most entries, with 146 prisons and jails and 1,426 police units.
How are the countries of Oceania organised?
Countries are grouped by sub-region (Australia and New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia). Each country page then lists its regions, and each region its districts and facilities.
Where does the information come from?
Facilities come from official government registers where they are published, and otherwise from OpenStreetMap and Wikidata, with missing contact details completed from Overture Maps. Every source is credited on the data sources page.
Can I look up a prisoner in Oceania?
Prison services in Oceania rarely publish inmate lists. Contact the facility or the national prison administration using the details on each facility page.
