Custom Detention TV Enclosures
Detention & Correctional TV Enclosures
Short answer: TV Armor's detention TV enclosures protect televisions in jails, prisons and correctional facilities from tampering and damage. They are custom-built to your TV and mount, use heavy-duty aluminum sides and a tamper-proof locking mechanism, and have a fixed interior depth of 6 inches that fits most standard prison TV models.
In correctional settings a TV is more than entertainment: it is part of daily operations, and a broken or tampered set creates downtime, cost and safety risks. Detention enclosures are built with reinforced materials that differ significantly from our standard custom enclosures, to stand up to intentional abuse as well as accidents.
