Australia's prison population is rapidly ageing, with the nation's jails now holding more than twice the number of old-age inmates than nine years ago.

Canberra's only jail had no prisoners aged 60 or over in 2005 and none in its NSW-based population, but now has half a dozen, half of whom are 65 or over.

This follows an international trend that is causing difficulties for prison administrators around the world as they struggle to accommodate geriatric inmates.

Recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that in 2005 Australia's 65 and over prison population numbered just 312 but in 2013 it had more than doubled to 629.

The data does not record the age of people over 65, but the Australian Institute of Criminology has found that old age comes more quickly to prisoners than the rest of the population. It said inmates experience an apparent 10-year differential between their health and that of the general population.
