Supervised Temporary Holding Cell

WireCrafters Style 840 partition system is used to build prisoner holding cells in correctional and detention centers across the country. These holding cells are designed for supervised temporary confinement while prisoners are being processed or detained for short periods of time.
The versatility of our strong wire partition system allows the panels to be configured to meet you facility’s needs utilizing our standard parts. Our unique design prevents access to all hardware from the secure side of the holding cell enclosure.
Holding Cell Doors & Ceilings
A hinged door with a secure lock device keeps detainees and prisoners in the holding cell. Ceiling panels constructed of the same material complete the holding cell, and our unique design prevents access to all hardware from the secure side of the enclosure.
The wire partition holding cell system installs quickly with standard hand tools using heavy 3/8″ assembly hardware, and our open but secure design allows free circulation of existing lighting, HVAC, and fire suppression systems.
Heavy duty options are available for facilities requiring enhanced security.
Stock Panels
Panels come in one-foot increments from 1′ to 10′ wide to 4′ and 5′ high.
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.
