New Prison Kitchen Closes Over Flooring Fail | Adelaide News

A brand-new $19.8 million kitchen at Risdon Prison has been shut down just three months after opening due to faulty flooring that fails slip resistance and drainage tests. With old kitchens decommissioned, meals are now being shipped in from Victoria at a weekly cost of over $90,000. Correctional staff unions blame poor communication and ignored pre-opening concerns. The construction contractor is responsible for repairs under the defects liability period, and officials hope the facility — designed to replace 1970s kitchens and offer inmate training — will reopen soon.
