Corrections
Corrections institutions are challenged to protect the public, and their staff, while providing a secure environment for offenders.
Corrections
Security systems need to facilitate controlled movement and passage onsite, be robust, fail safe and provide redundancy options. They also need to be reliable, providing system continuity 24/7.
Gallagher perimeter fencing solutions are cost-effective, easy to maintain and repair and therefore the solution of choice for correctional institutions worldwide.
Correctional institutions need to protect the public and staff while providing a secure environment for offenders. To achieve this, the perimeter system needs to detect unauthorised entry or exit and prevent inmates from attempting to breach the fence. The system must be highly reliable, difficult to bypass and not generate false alarms, even in adverse weather conditions.
Gallagher’s security solutions achieve all of these requirements, not only deterring and detecting attack and eliminating false alarms, but also by monitoring sections of the perimeter fence with reduced visibility.
Gallagher drives business value through:
• Configuration, live operation and reporting of Guard Tours
• Partial or total site lockdown in the event of an emergency
• Automatic water turn off in the event of an emergency
Perimeter Protection
• Single or multi-site, zoned perimeter electric fencing means perimeter alarms are monitored and responded to as they occur
• Non-electric tautwire and disturbance sensors detect interference with the perimeter fencelines notifying guards via alarms
• Integrated imaging systems provide a real-time visual record of events
Door Management
• Interlocking doors and flexibility enable controlled movement and on-site passage
• Lights can be configured to act as visual indicators on doors, providing confirmation of security status at a glance with no need to verify door security at a workstation.

Case Study: Corrections
Gallagher’s perimeter security systems provide a round-the-clock deter and detect solution for correctional facilities. The system’s self-monitoring ability means fewer guard towers. A spokesperson at Fox Lake Correctional Facility in Wisconsin, USA said: “The fence performs a valuable function in securing a remote section of the perimeter fence that isn’t easily seen from the guard towers, especially in rain, snow and fog”.
