Prison Accommodation

The Hon. B.R. HOOD (15:07): Supplementary: given the minister has mentioned the new investment and new infrastructure, is a new building to be constructed at the Adelaide Remand Centre?

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:07): As I said previously, there is investment in new beds and also new infrastructure. My understanding is that we are putting new beds into the Adelaide Remand Centre, we are building new infrastructure at the Women's Prison and new infrastructure at Mount Gambier Prison. As I said earlier, the prison system is interconnected, so really it depends on where the need is and where we need to be moving people.
