Anti-Contraband Netting Systems for Secure Facilities
Gorilla Netting Contraband Netting Systems are specialized security netting installations designed to mitigate and prevent the unauthorized entry of contraband items into high-security environments such as prisons, jails, and detention centers.
These systems create a see-through barrier between the outside world and the inside of the prison fence, effectively reducing the risk of contraband being introduced via toss-overs, drone drops, or other methods. Contraband typically refers to illicit goods such as drugs, weapons, and cell phones.
The netting is typically designed to be fire retardant, chemical and weather resistant, and UV-treated for durability and longevity.
We offer comprehensive contraband prevention solutions including overhead netting and perimeter fence systems tailored to your facility's specific needs.
Overhead netting installations on outside rec yards help deter drones from dropping contraband into your facility.
Security perimeter fence netting systems deter the tossing of contraband over perimeter security fences.
Advanced netting solutions designed to limit drone access to prison yards and aerial contraband delivery.
Contraband in correctional facilities is a serious concern that threatens the safety of staff, inmates, and the general public. It can enter a facility via smuggling by visitors, compromised staff, or hidden within deliveries, as well as by breaching the perimeter of inmate yards via fence drops or drone delivery.
The use of drones to deliver contraband to prisons has become a significant concern globally. Facilities should develop drone management plans compatible with federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to aviation safety and efficiency.
Contraband prevention netting systems add a physical layer that complements detection technology and facility security protocols — helping deter toss-overs and aerial delivery attempts at the fence line and recreation yards.
The fight against contraband in secure facilities requires a comprehensive and innovative approach. By implementing advanced netting systems alongside facility security protocols, sites can enhance safety for staff, inmates, and the public.

Compare nylon, polyester, and Dyneema (UHMWPE) with best-fit recommendations by application.
Contraband mesh is specified from high-strength, see-through materials — typically high-tenacity polypropylene, nylon, or polyester with fire-retardant, chemical- and weather-resistant, and UV-treated options. Mesh density and panel height are matched to your facility’s toss-over and aerial threat profile.
Scope covers threat assessment along fence lines, recommended panel heights, material selection (including fire-retardant options where required), structural attachment, and installation by crews familiar with secured-site protocols.
Security perimeter netting extends fence lines with vertical and overhead panels; contraband netting often adds yard coverage and integrated barrier layers. See our security perimeter netting page for perimeter scope — both are engineered as coordinated installs for correctional facilities.
Yes. Many projects extend existing perimeter fence with overhead netting, cantilever arms, or vertical panels rather than replacing the fence entirely—reducing cost and construction time inside active facilities.
Yes. Gorilla Netting is a US-based specialty contractor headquartered in Florida with field operations in Kentucky. Our crews mobilize to turnkey install sites across the United States and internationally — location is not a barrier.
