The Supermax prison at Goulburn on the New South Wales Southern Tablelands opened in September 2001 - the same month that terrorist attacks in the US made its design obsolete.
Goulburn s Supermax prison has undergone a $12million renovation as it prepares to welcome Mostafa Baluch after he skipped bail on charges over a 900kg cocaine haul worth $270million.
Vester Fernando and his cousin Brendan killed nurse Sandra Hoare in rural NSW in 1994. Five years later Fernando murdered Brendan in jail. Now Fernando has almost killed another inmate.
