Creating a safer correctional environment does not rely only on policies or training. It also depends on the everyday products staff and residents use. Correctional facilities face unique challenges, and the right supplies can make a meaningful difference in preventing incidents, reducing risk and supporting smooth daily operations. At Bob Barker Company, safety is the foundation of every product we source and develop.
Many standard consumer items are not designed for the demands of a secure facility. That is why purpose-built products matter. For example, Nexus™ Safey Razors that prevent blade removal help reduce opportunities for tampering or weaponizing. Spartan® Ripstop Polyester Mattresses built with tear-resistant covers and RF-welded seams help limit contraband hiding. And Meridian® Personal Care products have clear packaging that makes contraband inspection quick and efficient.
The details matter. Items that cannot be taken apart, easily destroyed or manipulated into a weapon add peace of mind for officers and residents alike. These features may seem small, but together they help staff maintain a controlled environment and reduce the risk of misuse.
To identify and create purpose-built products, product development is a collaborative effort at Bob Barker Company. We regularly incorporate feedback from correctional officers, administrators and other staff. Their insight guides improvements to our products, inspires new designs and ensures our offering meets the realities of daily life in jails and prisons. Our goal is to deliver solutions that make facilities safer, more efficient and easier to manage.
When correctional leaders choose products designed specifically for secure environments, they reinforce safety across every shift. Bob Barker Company is committed to continuing this work and equipping facilities with the tools they need to protect staff and residents every day.
