“NT Correctional Services has investigated safety issues relating to the ceiling fans in the DCC accommodation blocks, taking into account the contribution made by the fans to the general comfort of prisoners. 

We are currently considering a number of options in consultation with the owners of the facility.

These options include the removal of all ceiling fans and their replacement with a movable alternative, such as pedestal fans.

It should be noted that only some accommodation areas at DCC have ceiling fans.”
