EXCLUSIVE
The policeman who fatally Tasered a 95-year-old grandmother in her nursing home will be taken to the most top secret jail in Australia if he is sentenced to full-time imprisonment next year.
Plans have already been made for Kristian White to be housed at the Special Purpose Centre (SPC) within Sydney's Long Bay prison complex after he was convicted of Clare Nowland's manslaughter.
The SPC holds the most vulnerable inmates in NSW and is so far off-the-grid most Corrective Services staff cannot access information about who is in there.
Sometimes known as The Kennel because of the number of 'dogs' - or informers - it accommodates, once inmates step inside the SPC's brick walls their whereabouts no longer appear on the Corrective Services computer system.
Whereas the High Risk Management Correctional Centre at Goulburn - known as Supermax - contains prisoners who represent a danger to staff and other inmates, the SPC warehouses those who are at extreme risk of physical harm.
Instead of being referred to by name or the Master Index Number (MIN) every prisoner receives when they are first go into custody, SPC occupants are identified internally by a number following the letter P.
'It's basically for inmates who can't be put anywhere else because they'd be killed,' a prison source told Daily Mail Australia.

The SPC, which received its first inmates in February 1989, was built at a cost of $18.5million to accommodate offenders requiring special protection such as cops, judicial officers and Crown witnesses.
It currently houses about 30 prisoners out of prison population of 13,000.
A retired senior prison officer who had never been inside the facility despite working in the NSW jail system for decades said few Corrective Services employees were familiar with the place.
'All the inmates are referred to by a number, not by name,' he said.
'I always thought of the place as an "upmarket boneyard". It's basically a very expensive protection unit.'
Accused killer cop Beau Lamarre-Condon was moved there about six months ago after a stint under strict segregation inside the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre at Silverwater.
Jail authorities deemed him potentially at risk because he was accused of extremely serious offences, had attracted huge media attention and had never previously been in prison.
Lamarre-Condon is charged with murdering former Studio Ten presenter Jesse Baird and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies at Paddington on February 19 and is yet to enter pleas.
While the case makes its way through the courts the sacked senior constable can expect to stay at his current location.

Lamarre-Condon was removed from the NSW Police Force in March. White was dismissed by Police Commissioner Karen Webb on December 3.
The senior constable discharged his Taser at Ms Nowland at the Yallambee Lodge aged-care facility n Cooma in southern NSW in the early hours of May 17 last year.
The great-grandmother, who had been wielding a knife and suffering from signs of undiagnosed dementia, fell and hit her head on the floor. She died in Cooma Hospital a week later.
A Supreme Court jury found White guilty of manslaughter on November 27 and two days later Justice Ian Harrison rejected a Crown bid to refuse the 34-year-old bail until his sentencing.
White's barrister Troy Edwards SC had argued against the Crown's position that a prison sentence for the police officer was inevitable.
Justice Harrison said while he did not want to give White 'unwarranted hope', he was not prepared to say he would eventually sentence him to full-time imprisonment.
The judge said it was not contested that police officers faced the threat of violence in jail but White's circumstances were not special or exceptional.
Detective Sergeant Mitchell Bosworth of the Homicide Squad had prepared a statement for the detention application which detailed what would happen to White if bail was refused or he was ultimately jailed.
First, he would be escorted by officers attached to the Corrective Services Special Operations Group from the Supreme Court straight to the MRRC where he would be classified 'protection non-association'.
Acting Corrective Services Commissioner Leon Taylor would then be asked to approve White's placement at the SPC, according to advice attached to Detective Sergeant Bosworth's statement.

Wayne Astill, who is serving a maximum 23 years for raping 14 female inmates when he was a prison officer at Dillwynia Correctional Centre, has called the SPC home since shortly after his arrest in February 2019.
Mark Standen, the one-time assistant director of the NSW Crime Commission who was jailed over a $120million drug plot, spent most of his 16 years behind bars at the SPC before his release in June.
Onetime boxer Fortunato 'Lucky' Gattellari found himself at the SPC after becoming the Crown's star witness against property developer Ron Medich, who ordered the 2009 contract killing of business rival Michael McGurk.
Gattellari left the SPC in December 2019 after completing a nine-year sentence for organising McGurk's murder and trying to extort money from Medich.
Former Federal Court judge Marcus Einfeld did time at the SPC after being convicted of perjury and perverting the course of justice for claiming a dead woman was driving his car when he received a speeding fine.
The SPC sometimes even takes offenders smaller states cannot keep safe, such as Perth bikie Sid 'Snot' Reid, who turned on his Gypsy Joker bikie comrades.
Reid became perhaps Australia's most infamous supergrass after he was arrested over the 2001 car firebombing murders of former Western Australian CIB boss Don Hancock and his friend Lou Lewis.
Rapist and prison informer Fred Many spent his final years of incarceration at the SPC, while gangster Neddy Smith had a long stint there after cooperating with ICAC in the early 1990s.
Swedish model Charlotte Lindstrom, who tried to hire a hitman to kill two witnesses giving evidence against her drug-dealing fiance, was another notorious SPC resident.
Justice Harrison will hear sentencing submissions in February before deciding White's fate.
