Security
The perimeter is surrounded by a double 30-foot razor fence, and has observation towers at the corners. There is a 4-foot "warning fence" inside the perimeter of the exercise yard, that acts as a boundary inmates cannot cross without deadly force being used. Armed patrol vehicles with Colt Canada C7 rifles and parabolic microphones are on guard 24/7. There are motion sensors in the outlying property, and multiple CCTV units throughout.
Visitors are subject to search once on the property (both person and vehicle) and an ION scanner is used upon entry to detect drugs or other compounds. The visiting area is equipped with CCTV, and listening devices are in each table.
Inmates in the MAU (intake) are allowed only screened visits (behind glass).

And my friends, for all of these we have only begun to fight.”
