The Cruel Sea Do Time At Fremantle Prison

in News

The Cruel Sea’s reunion tour is certainly taking them to interesting places. This past weekend, the band did time a Fremantle Prison.

One of the famous inmates of Fremantle Prison was Bon Scott, who would go on to become the lead singer of AC/DC. Scott was a resident of the state for a short time in 1963 before being transferred to Riverbank Juvenile Institution. Scott was charged with “giving a false name and address to the police, having escaped legal custody, having unlawful carnal knowledge, and stealing 12 imperial gallons (55 L) of petrol”. The story is documented in Clinton Walker’s book ‘Highway to Hell’ and the Mick Wall book ‘AC/DC: Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be’.

Historic Fremantle Prison opened in 1855 and was shut in 1991. The prison was listed on the Western Australian Registrar if Historic Places is 1992 and given permanent status in 1995.
