HMP Solutions
Customised Safety and Security solutions for HMP Estates including Young Offender Institutions
While Prisons and Young Offender Institutions face many problems that businesses and other organisations face, there are of course many issues that are unique to the "Restraint Environment".
For over 20 years, Insight Security has been successfully supplying secure medical facilities, prisons and young offender institutions among others with specialist products and customised solutions designed to address their specific problems and needs.
We have over that time, earned a reputation for delivering cost effective solutions and as our customers worldwide know, we are happy to work with them to develop customised solutions to meet their specific needs where our stock range of tried and proven products don`t quite tick all of the boxes.
Roller Barrier is a great example of how we have responded to the need for an entirely non-aggressive, harmless anti climb solution that`s highly effective but doesn`t cause harm and doesn`t appear as aggressive.
Here are some of the specialist products and solutions that have solved problems for our customers worldwide.
Roller Shield - as recommended by NTRG
Developed in conjunction with NTRG Kidlington, specifically for HMP Estates,
Roller Shield was developed to be used in pairs, as an aid to restricting the lateral movement of prisoners on upper landings who had climbed over the landing railing, thus initiating a costly incident at height.
These units are used in conjunction with air bags and having proven effective in operational use, are already standard on-site equipment at a number of UK prisons,

Roller Barrier
Images show product in use at a Canadian YOI.
Developed originally for use at drug rehabilitation institutions, over recent years, Roller Barrier has proven effective at keeping people within containment areas and out of restricted areas.
Popular with secure medical facilities, homes for autism, prisons & young offender institutions, etc.
Roller Barrier is now specified by many UK Local Authorities as the anti-climb system of choice, for use in and around schools and public buildings.
Available in a choice of colours, unlike spike based anti-climb systems, non-aggressive Roller Barrier presents no risk of impalement to anyone accidentally falling on to it.
Although typically used outdoors and retro fitted to existing structures to prevent access to flat roofs, or to prevent intruders from climbing over boundary walls or fences, this product has also been used effectively internally, such as in the HMP Winchester Installation (see HMP Winchester case study below)

HMP Winchester Case Study
Following several costly incidents at height,
HMP Winchester approached Insight Security to explore the use of some of Insights` specialist security products to help reduce the problem.
Following site visits and discussions, Insight proposed the use of Roller Barrier and Anti-climb Paint to protect the problem areas on the upper landings of selected wings of the prison, to tackle some types of climbing incident.
Insight also designed and manufactured special "Beam Covers" to deter prisoners from climbing onto the RSJ type beams across the central void areas of the wings.
Cost Effective:
The installations were put to the test almost immediately by inmates, producing the desired results without causing anyone injury. Prison Management are confident of a quick return on their investment thanks to the ongoing cost savings from reduced incidents.
