Feature Security Profile - Jail Facility

Many jails were originally designed and constructed more than 20 to 50 years ago. Today the latest security devices and procedures need to be in place. The profile below details added security for the expansion/renovation of a central Illinois jail facility.

The facility was expanded to add additional cell space, a new classification area, healthcare area, vehicle sally port, four new housing pods, 6 new special housing units, a new booking/intake area and evidence storage facility. Due to the magnitude of the facility expansion and the length of time that the existing systems were already in service, it was decided by the architect that system upgrades and replacements were required... that's where Thompson Electronics Company's security expertise comes in.



Central Control

The nerve center of the jail facility is central control. Full control of all cells is maintained by the security office using graphic panels that show the status of all doors and allow the complete control of door locking, intercom, CCTV and paging systems. The operation of the existing control consoles was maintained during the facility technology changeover. New consoles containing the new hardware were fabricated to match the existing consoles. Cabinets for mounting the new CCTV monitors were constructed and mounted on top of the existing control cabinet.

Replacing an obsolete CCTV switching system.
The consultants for the facility decided that the existing CCTV switching system was obsolete. A Vicon matrix system including speed dome, multiplexes, quad units and real time event recorders. New monitors and CCTV equipment were installed in existing and or expanded security control consoles located in "Central Control".
A new access control system allows for more complete authorized facility access.

Cell "Pod" Areas.
Each cell pod is equipped with an individual control panel that allows for complete control of the cells and associated rooms. The control panels allow officers control of individual cell doors, complete voice intercom and paging access to the facility via the digital intercom system and local CCTV control.
