Security
The facility was built incorporating the latest concepts and designs for correctional institutions. The facility is surrounded by two 12-foot fences with rolls of razor-ribbon wire on the side and top of the outside fence. The perimeter is monitored by a series of electronic devices including an electrified "stun" fence. A patrol road surrounds the perimeter and a patrol vehicle responds to all detection system alarms.
