Prison Solutions

High security in forensics and forensic hospitals.

SCROLL

In Germany, forensic commitment is a security-oriented comprehensive concept that applies to individuals who, due to criminal acts, are deemed not guilty or only partially guilty.

STUV SOLUTIONS

Safety and security measures.

These are highly specialised institutions tailored to the needs and requirements of the occupants, offering intensive care and comprehensive therapy. Instead of punishment, these individuals are subject to measures of correction and security, which are enforced in special forensic institutions. The aim of these institutions is to enable the treatment of patients in a protected environment and to protect the public from them. Various security and safety measures are used in forensic and correctional facilities for this purpose.

Whether mechanical or electronic security locks, fire protection or customised systems, STUV has the solution for secure detention facilities.

STANDARDS

Security measures in forensic institutions

The standards for structural and electronic security measures in forensic psychiatric hospitals in the form of mechanical elements have been continuously developed through intensive exchange of experience and technical progress. Although the rooms of patients/occupants tend to have a homely character, security is a top priority in forensic psychiatry. Various security measures are used in forensic psychiatric hospitals:

• High walls and fences

• Barred windows

• Camera surveillance

• High-security locks on doors and gates

It is important for security reasons that the forensic clinic forms a closed system with only one central access point via a specially secured gate system. The forensic complex should be shielded from the outside.
