To Repair or Replace: 4 Detention Equipment Maintenance Tips

Old or faulty equipment can be an inmate
escape problem waiting to happen.

Inmate escape prevention is the number one concern of detention facility personnel.  No matter how vigilant a guard might be, the chances of a prisoner fleeing increase exponentially if faulty equipment is being used.

This is why careful inspection of existing equipment is so important.  Below are some detention equipment maintenance tips to help you determine if your facility's equipment is failing or about to fail.

Repairing or replacing components of a system when you notice a problem can mean the difference between peace of mind for the community, and a dangerous criminal at large.

Flashback Friday: Kane Detention in 1988

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our company history, Kane Manufacturing - the parent company of all KaneSterling brands - was founded 123 years ago in 1890.   

Although our marketing collateral from the 19th century is nowhere to be found, we were overjoyed to uncover this retro gem from the late-1980s.  (Be sure to note the line about "floppy disks" on the back cover!)  

We pioneered and patented the Vantage Wall woven-rod barrier system in 1978, and are proud to report that it still remains the #1 best-selling Kane Detention product to this day.  

We hope you enjoy this blast from the past!
