was, not has.
You do realise that Australia was originally founded as a penal colony. And that about 50% of the First Fleet (thus 50% of the entire colony/city) were convicts. Wiki tells me that about 165,000 convicts were sent here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia
Every city on the list has a prison. Not many of them were originally intended to be a prison.
