Cost summary for steel cell and dormitory/common area furnishings There are several variables to consider when determining the initial and life cycle maintenance costs of installing and maintaining traditional steel detention furnishings. Generally, it is understood that the initial costs for the furnishings of a typical cell are about the same. So the list of things to consider besides appearance are maintenance and install costs, and contributions to safety. It is generally agreed that installing steel furnishings is much more labor intensive. They are heavier. Most are welded. Repairs usually include welding. Research has shown that a cell is repainted every 3-4 years. Steel furnishings can chip, dent, and rust. They can be dangerous to both inmates and staff as they have potentially sharp edges and corners. They have been known to contribute to weapon fabrication. Steel furnishing have a higher capacity to harbor microorganisms. Additionally, there is a significant and definable cost in both dollars and safety to maintain cells. The facility logistics of moving both inmates, staff and supervision for cell maintenance is real and possibly the most expensive. It also represents an increased safety risk with tools, prep materials and non standard inmate movement.
Cost Summary for molded detention furnishings Molded furnishings never need to be painted. They can be molded in permanent and normative colors. They do not dent, chip or rust. The do not require welding to be safely mounted. They can contain antimicrobial additives that significantly reduces the growth and spread of microorganisms. They can be flame retardant rated. They have zero life cycle maintenance costs. Zero maintenance means zero inmate movement for painting or repairs.
