A small number of charges are punishable by imprisonment under the federal (Commonwealth) Crimes Act and other federal laws. These are pursued by federal Directors of Public Prosecutions, and trials take place in a Federal Court building – which for practical reasons is usually that closest to any vital witnesses. People subsequently remanded for, or convicted of, criminal charges under federal law are held in correctional facilities controlled by the government of the State or Territory in which the court proceedings will, or have, taken place.[1] Following a conviction, the receiving prison is located in the same State/Territory as the court in which the trial occurred.
