The Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, also known as Berrimah Prison, is a facility for youth detention in the Northern Territory, Australia. The centre is located in Berrimah, east of Darwin and houses male and female inmates. The facility is named after Don Dale, a former Member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly from 1983 to 1989 and one-time Minister for Correctional Services. The centre is operated by the NT Department of Corrections.
On 25 July 2016, the ABC broadcast a Four Corners report that exposed child abuse in the Northern Territory corrections system. The episode "Australia's Shame" resulted in the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory.
In late 2024, inmates from the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre were transferred to the new Holtze Youth Detention Centre. Don Dale has since been planned to be re-purposed as an adult correctional facility.
