As fast as new products and technology come to light, it’s difficult to keep up with operation and installation procedures. Southern Folger, one of the largest detention companies in the country, offers a solution. They recently introduced a certification program for all their products in an effort to alleviate this problem.
In this month’s Q&A, we talk to the president of Southern Folger, Don Halloran, about the program and its implementation and about the company’s latest product, which protects facilities from lightning strikes.
Speaking of detention equipment contractors, would you like a copy of Correctional News’ DEC list for 2006? You’ll find it here.
