The Need For Safe Prisoner Partition

By Dominique Martin


The aim of taking wrong doers to prison is for correctional purposes away from the public until their jail term is over. No one likes to be locked away, whether it is just for one month or lifetime term, that is why many prisoners try to break out if their prisoner partition is not strong and safe to hold them. The safety of partitions during transportation of prisoners ensures that there will be no easy way for escape.

The boring life in prison and all the free time they have, sometimes they use it to carefully plan heinous act of escaping or making enemies in the facility, leading to fights and deaths as it has been reported in the past. A person who has the experience of doing something, always finds it not hard to do it again which is same with murder prisoners. Some other prisoners will not just take it in a good way and decide to take their life with any object they can get their hands on in their partitions.

Suicides in the prisons can be avoided if the partition is taken through quality checks to ensure whatever is inside it, a suicidal prisoner can't use to commit suicide. Any sharp object that can be used to cut arms as a way of suicide or any other way that it can be done should totally be avoided in the making of the partitions. Safe partitions can be costly, but it is way expensive to let a life be lost.

Crucial safety measures, such as automated lockdown of partitions, should be available. It is almost impossible to have large numbers of prisoners in same facility and expect not to have chaos within that facility once in a while. Without lockdown systems, these people can easily overpower the security personnel in the facility and escape.

Prisoners in some prisons have escaped by digging through the prison walls. Most of this digging is done from their partitions, something that can be avoided by using materials which are extremely hard to dig through them. Partitions made using these materials prove it hard for anyone trying to escape through this way.

Good partitions come with complete inbuilt beds and washrooms for the prisoners. This reduces the fights which usually occur in common washrooms in prisons leading to some prisoners injured and others dead. Prisoners causing trouble in the facility can be completely isolated from the others within their partitions.

Transfer of prisoners from one prison to another is a norm that happens daily. Most of the escapes, however, happen during this routine practices, comprising of high percentage of the 309 escapes on average annually. The partitions used in the transport vehicles are responsible for this and should be improved to minimize if not completely end this trend.

The police and prison officers involved in handling prisoners are giving a good service to the society. This job can be stressing since they are dealing with criminals who can turn against them and maim them. It is the responsibility of the government to make sure there are safe prison partitions in place to make it easy for the officers.
