We didn't go anywhere near the crims at Long Bay, however

My band played at Parramatta Jail a couple of times where we did mix with the crims for coffee and scones after the show, they were a mixed bunch of murderers and armed robbers all doing serious time.

Those shows were a lot of fun and the audience were obviously appreciative of anything that broke their normal daily boredom, and we gave the crims ciggies

We also played Parramatta Girls Home, there were serious barricades between the audience and the stage and there was no way the inmates were going to be allowed anywhere near the performers at any time. ( the word rape was mentioned by the guards )
