AfterCoreCivic's Wheeler Correctional Facility in Alamo, Georgia brought in Gorilla Netting in 2023 to upgrade its security measures. Gorilla Netting replaced the old, decaying, and damaged overhead netting across the facility's recreational yards with a new overhead contraband netting system.
The challenge
What the facility was up against
Contraband smuggling is a persistent challenge for prisons, jails, and correctional facilities across the country, and aerial deliveries and perimeter breaches are among the primary ways it gets in.
At Wheeler, the netting over the recreational yards was old, decaying, and damaged.
What we built
The system we designed and installed
Gorilla Netting installed a new overhead contraband netting system across the recreational yards, replacing the old, damaged netting as part of the facility's contraband mitigation work.
AfterThe outcome
What it means for the facility
CoreCivic's Wheeler Correctional Facility has new overhead contraband netting across its recreational yards in place of old, decaying, and damaged netting, forming a barrier against contraband delivered by air or thrown over the perimeter and supporting a safer environment for inmates and staff.
