Video Transcript:

In this video we're going to talk about commercial kitchen design and commercial kitchen equipment with special reference to correctional facilities, otherwise known as prisons and jails. And places like that. Nice to speak to you again. Nice to speak to you as well. So I know that with Culinary Depot you guys do a lot of kitchen... very diverse kitchen design and one of the area's is correctional facilities. Firstly, is there anything unusual I need to know if I'm looking to work in that context?

Sure. The biggest thing is the equipment. So you want you want to have everything that we call in the industry a prison package. A prison package? What does that mean? Prison package would mean for example all the knobs are covered with locks. In case anyone gets into the kitchen? Somebody's in the kitchen- well actually inmates work in the kitchen in most correctional, in lots of correctional facilities. And so they take the knobs- So they want to make sure they don't take off the knobs. So they'll have a prison package covering the knobs with a lock. Another thing -- they don't use screws. They'll use unremovable rivets. So people are unscrewing? Some inmates will try to unscrew something to be able to use it as a weapon. Oh goodness gracious me. I hadn't thought of as a kitchen sink as a weapon, but you've completely redefined it. What about working?

Let's say you're doing installation in a Correctional Facility... I assume that there are some security concerns. How does that all work? So once the kitchen was designed and we start the work, is the plan how do you get the job done with the security clearance needed. Right. So there's multiple factors to keep in mind. Number one is actually getting the security clearance for the people. We need to work with the right people who have all the clearance. And then how do we work around their schedule when there's no inmates in the kitchen? Right, okay, because that has to be a limited amount of time. Correct. Because they some of them are functioning. So one of the examples I'll give you is we did a big jail -- Albany County Jail in Albany, New York. We worked around overnight and we had guards watching and we did it in segments. So it's a huge job for six hundred thousand dollars. However we did it in stages.

So we did first the walk-in boxes. Demolish the walk-ins, we coordinate with the customer to rent temporary refrigeration solutions so we can get the walk in box built properly. Get rid of the debris, let it sit around for security measures as well. Right. And then go to the kettles. So on the cooking line, we have six large kettles. Again, the tools got to be counted before you bring it in. Right, because you don't want to make sure you- suddenly your tool is a weapon, right? Right. So if you came in the maximum security prison, they will count how many tools you brought in your toolbox. And every time you want to walk out to get something from your truck, you need to be escorted by a security guard.
