Residential and transitional centres
Community residential facilities
Corrective Services manages residential facilities for men and women. In some instances the Courts order offenders to participate in a diversionary program at one of the residential facilities rather than go into custody.
The facilities include:
Miruma
Miruma which opened in 2011 on the grounds of the Cessnock Correctional Complex. It is a residential community-based diversionary program for female offenders with co-existing disorders
Miruma aims to provide high level of effective case management to address offending behaviour and provide the female residents with the skills to be able to live independently and productively in the community.

Transitional Centres
CSNSW manages the Bolwara Transitional Centre at Emu Plains and Parramatta Transitional Centre which provide support for female offenders approaching release from custody.
Bolwara focuses on Aboriginal women and provides support for women who have histories of alcohol and other drugs use.
The Parramatta Transitional Centre supports female inmates serving longer sentences who are also preparing for release.
This transitional support is designed to help the women successfully return to the community and minimise their risk of re-offending.
