Supervised Temporary Holding Cell
WireCrafters Style 840 partition system is used to build prisoner holding cells in correctional and detention centers across the country. Our Style 840 Holding Cells are designed for supervised temporary confinement while prisoners are being processed or detained for a short period of time. Because of the versatility of our wire partition system, the strong wire partition panels can be configured to meet facility needs utilizing our standard parts.

STOCK PANELS
Panels come in one foot increments from 1′ to 10′ wide, and in heights of 4′ and 5′.

SECURITY TO THE MAX
Our unique wire partition cage design prevents access to all hardware from the secure side of the holding cell enclosure. Heavy duty options are available for facilities requiring enhanced security.

UTILIZE EXISTING SYSTEMS
