Overview
Gorilla Netting was first approached in late 2020 to design an anti-contraband security perimeter netting system as a test pilot program at one of the prisons run by the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections. Our team worked closely with a top-notch local contractor as the prime contractor, though Gorilla Netting led the project design and installation. This system was designed and engineered for the tropical environment of Puerto Rico. Gorilla Netting constructed this system on steel support poles, confidential netting material, powerline/utility-grade hardware, and wire rope. It spans two separate housing units at this correctional complex. A full coverage 5-year warranty backed Gorilla Netting’s custom netting systems, materials, and labor.

Challenge
The risks associated with contraband entering secure facilities are numerous, presenting significant threats to both security personnel and inmates. Contraband items, including weapons, drugs, and cell phones, can fuel violence, drug abuse, and the perpetuation of criminal activities within and beyond the facility, such as orchestrating escapes or coordinating crimes outside prison walls. These dangers not only compromise the safety and well-being of individuals within the facility but also undermine the broader security of the surrounding community.
The introduction of contraband, especially through sophisticated methods like drone deliveries, poses a distinct challenge to correctional institutions. Effectively addressing this challenge demands continual vigilance and the adaptation of detection and prevention strategies.
Preventing contraband entry is imperative for upholding order, safety, and the rehabilitation objectives of secure facilities. Achieving this goal requires implementing a comprehensive approach that combines robust security measures, advanced detection technologies, and thorough staff training and supervision.
