Adelaide Women's Prison

Mr BATTY (Bragg) (14:37): My question is again to the Minister for Correctional Services. Has new contraband perimeter fencing been installed in the Adelaide Women's Prison and, if not, why not? With your leave, sir, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr BATTY: Over four months ago it was reported that drug-filled tennis balls were being thrown over the fences at the Adelaide Women's Prison.

The Hon. R.K. PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:37): I thank the member for his question. As recently as this most recent state budget we announced further funding to help increase security at our prisons. That is something we are continuing to roll out and invest in to ensure we have the best supports possible in our prisons and correctional systems.
