Sierra Leading Industry Evolution
As the prison population has continued to increase across the United States, detention solutions have evolved to become more sophisticated and secure. Historically, the industry has seen the shift over the years from the old approach of having all of the essential elements of construction put together on-site, from cinder blocks on up. The first real advance in the industry came with truss walls, followed by steel cells and hollow metal.
Now the industry is being transformed by Sierra’s approach of integrating the traditional “hard side” elements with the newer “soft side” utilization of technology. Sierra Detention Systems leads the industry in providing fully integrated detention solutions of both the “hard side” and “soft side,” for the secure and efficient operation of correctional facilities. This customized approach meets the unique needs of each facility, delivering a fully functional detention system for each correctional project.
