Correctional Facility Visiting Room

The Challenge

Create a new space for visitor holding area

The Solution

At a correctional facility, you want the inmate visitation process to be as organized and simple as possible. When the visitors arrive at the facility, there are typically check-in procedures to prevent contraband and other safety hazards from entering it. While processing visitors, they typically wait in a holding area as the inmates get situated. When the staff needs to create their own holding area for visitation, Screenflex Clear Dividers are an excellent tool.

Prisons and correctional facilities need visibility of inmates and visitors at all times. By utilizing clear barricades, correctional officers in these facilities can maximize their crowd control efforts while still having the necessary clear sightlines. These plexiglass dividers are both freestanding and portable for utmost adaptability. Since correctional facilities are always changing, the furniture in the space should follow suit. The panels also fold accordion-style which creates a variety of shapes. As shown, the three-panel clear partition even creates a right angle to form a see-through visitation holding area. Each of the panels can also wipe down easily or fold compactly for storage when not in use. The screens can also double as a sneezeguard between inmates and visitors during times of high contagion.
