XPB Locker offers select detention products for prisons
construction. These products have demonstrated
consistent reliability when installed in county jails, state jails, state
prisons, and institutions for the criminally insane. As a GSA vendor, we can also supply
anti-ligature products to Federal prisons.
Basic plumbing
fixtures that are essential to inmate daily life all feature a number of
characteristics design to ensure maximum safety, durability, and sanitation in
the facilities in which they are installed.
Our
detention products for prison construction are designed with the safety of both
inmates and staff members in mind. In
correctional facilities of any kind, suicide prevention is a major element of
safety. Plumbing fixtures must be
manufactured with rounded edges that cannot be used as cutting surfaces. Washroom accessories, such as towel
hooks, are built to pull out of the wall when excess weight is placed upon
them. Seams are welded smooth so
that fixtures cannot be broken into pieces which can then be turned into
weapons. We recommend chase mounted
accessories to prevent fixtures from being removed from the wall
completely.
Detention
products for prison construction are also designed for maximum sanitation.
Stainless steel is the standard material because it is impervious to
moisture. It stays clean longer and is easier to
clean than other surfaces. The
plumbing fixtures we sell, including toilet
sink combination units, all-welded cabinet showers, and Division
10 security washroom accessories all feature various gauge strengths of
stainless steel construction.
Ironically, one of the safety features of these products also works to
help keep them clean. Seams that
are welded smooth, and edges that are rounded off, offer no places for bacteria
to build up. They are fully exposed
to air, so water evaporates as quickly from welded seams as it does from flat
surface areas. These seams are also
easy to wipe down with standard stainless steel cleaners or a warm, wet
cloth.
Detention
products for prison construction must also be engineered with vandal resistance
in mind. We have already noted that we recommend
chase mounted accessories for mid-level and maximum level security prisons where
there is any suspicion that inmates may try to rip the item out of the
wall. In some minimum security
prisons and small jails, front-mounted mirrors or shelving may be appropriate in
some instances.
Larger detention products for prison construction, such
as toilet sink combination units and cabinet
showers, must be assembled in such a way that prevents them from being
broken into pieces. We recommend all-welded cabinet showers
for this reason, because seams are welded smooth to the point that the entire
unit is one big piece of metal.
Fixed shower heads regulate flow to prevent water waste and
flooding. Toilet sink combination
units are designed with various options in lavatory metering controls and
feature 30 PSI of toilet flush force.
This will push even large objects into the sewer and prevent inmates from
flooding their cells. Toilet-sink
combination units feature an all-welded design that essentially makes the entire
assembly a unified, stainless steel unit that cannot be disassembled or
broken.
