Finding and choosing safe and effective corrections furniture takes time and careful consideration. Durability and safety are essential, but comfort and relatability should also be considered. Here are some helpful tips for choosing the right prison furniture.
1. Safe and Tamper-Proof
All prison furniture must be safe and tamper-proof to ensure the safety of the occupants and staff. At Cortech USA, our corrections furniture is designed with safety at the forefront and built to last. All furniture designs that you find on our website are constructed with “no-break” materials, such as high-impact polyethylene, and are equipped with tamper-proof hardware for increased safety. This means that they are durable, tamper-proof, and resistant to lethal weapon fabrication. Even with regular use, this type of furniture can stand the test of time.
2. Easy-To-Clean Materials
Another helpful tip for choosing the right prison furniture is to seek out easy-to-clean materials. Avoid materials that are difficult to clean and maintain, such as fabrics or metal. We infuse most of our products, such as our corrections chairs, beds, and tables, with CORx antimicrobial compound to help hinder the growth of bacteria on the surface between regular cleanings. For those regular cleanings, all you will need is a wipe or towel and any range of cleaning solutions to easily disinfect the surface.
3. Ligature-Resistant Designs
Ligature-resistant furniture in corrections is vital for the safety and well-being of occupants and staff. Designs with proper downward angles and smooth, rounded edges and corners are essential. Rotational molding technology allows us to manufacture our furniture with these necessities in mind while also avoiding any seams or joints where potential contraband could be hidden.
These are just a few tips for choosing corrections furniture, but as every facility has unique needs, there may be other factors to consider. Visit our website or contact Cortech USA today—our customer service and sales representatives are available and eager to guide you through the process.
