The former prison hulk HM Success was later renamed the Sir Harry Smith and was the site of a reformatory for boys.
The first government Reformatory for Boys was aboard this training ship. In 1879 the Reformatory moved to Ballarat.
The Ballarat Boys’ Reformatory closed in c.1893. From this period, juvenile offenders were generally sent to smaller, private reformatories, run by charitable or religious organisations. A small section of the Royal Park Depot in Parkville was a government-run reformatory from the 1890s.
