There may have been screenings in the prison for the prisoners and/or the prison staff. The prison is now open for tourists. Part of the prison is now a back packers, and there is plans to operate a outdoor cinema in the prison grounds, and to screen the films on the prison walls. Fremantle Prison appeared on The Amazing Race(season 9, leg 8), and The Amazing Race Australia(season 1, last episode).
