Article on 'Parramatta Girls' by Alana Valentine.
"From 1961 to 1974, the Hay Institution operated as a total security institute for incorrigible girls committed to the care of the child welfare department. It was here in an old disused gaol that girls that were deemed too difficult for Parramatta Girls Home were sent. The aim of the Hay Girls Institution was to crash the girls' spirits and for many this is exactly what happened."
