Brisbane Law Courts

A friend was telling me about some underground jail cells underneath the new law courts in Brisbane. Apprently the lift goes straight down 10 stories without stopping so the guilty passenger can't at all escape and you end up at below the courts and grassy field where it's full of 100+ jail cells.

I found this very interesting and thought I'd share it with you. Anyone been down there/know anything about it?

Wow, that's crazy. I'm pretty sure that you're looking at the lubricated end of a baton attempting that. Good luck though!

It's not too hard to ascertain, you can walk into a court, I used to go from time to time over lunch, chatted to the security guards on numerous occassions, they'll let you know, then just ask them who you've got to ask to go down and take some photos. You never know, it's always worth a shot, I'm all for consenting urbex!

LoL, why not?
You all might be disappointed though. All evidence seems to suggest a couple of normal basement levels with parking and cells. The basement levels extend between under Brisbane Square, possibly between the two court buildings.

If you check the area on Google maps right now (old, old image) you can see the extent of the excavation in the area.

Courts can be mostly accessed by the public anyway.
As for cell access, I'll flick an email to whom it concerns, and see what is possible.

I was involved in the construction of this building, in a limited capacity. I never saw anything deeper than 2 basement levels. I remember thinking that the floorspace for the basement was huge, compared to the building itself.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
