If the walls could talk at Berrima prison, the sordid stories from yesteryear would terrify many.
But those shady tales from the past are now purely for the history books, with the historic jail in the southern highlands of NSW officially up for sale.
The heritage-listed site previously housed a number of high profile inmates, including John Lynch, one of Australia's first serial killers.
Others who called Berrima home includes corrupt cop Roger Rogerson, celebrity drug dealer Richard Buttrose and disgraced former Labor minister Eddie Obeid.
Berrima, which was built in the 1830s by convicts, has also been the scene of numerous daring prison breaks, a handful of guards were killed while on duty and the facility even incarcerated a number of bushrangers.
Berimma jail, built in the 1830s by convicts, is up for sale, with the asking price in the vicinity of $10 million
