The county prison board on Tuesday approved equipment purchases that total nearly $400,000.
The most expensive purchase was $272,069 in kitchen equipment for the prison. The equipment includes a large oven to replace two existing ovens that do not work reliably, and replacing fryers and flat-top griddles that were in place when the prison opened in 2009.
Warden Joe DeMore said the prison is expected to receive a $30,000 discount on the equipment.
