Contraband Detection for Juvenile Detention Centers by Metrasens

Create a safe and secure rehabilitation environment for youth offenders.

You work hard to establish a safe environment for your youth residents and staff—but contraband can interfere and cause incidents, as juvenile residents can find ways to access and hide phones and other banned items. Metrasens is here to help you keep contraband out and residents safe, focusing attention on treatment and care.

Metrasens offers safe screening options so your staff can get ahead of incidents, stay safe, and protect the youth in their care. Touchless, efficient screenings pave the way for an environment where youth can be accountable, rehabilitate, and stay safe.

Supporting Rehabilitation for Youth Offenders

Successful rehabilitation requires more than detention—it demands guidance, structure, and support. Youth offenders need safe environments, educational opportunities, and positive interventions to break the cycle of incarceration. By prioritizing security without trauma-inducing practices, facilities can foster growth, accountability, and the skills necessary for a successful reintegration into society.

Stopping Contraband with Safe, Trauma-Informed Screening

Pat-downs and invasive searches are not best practices in juvenile detention, as they can be distressing, retraumatizing, and counterproductive to rehabilitation. However, contraband like cell phones, lighters, small weapons, and drugs still pose serious risks. Metrasens’ touch-free detection systems provide an effective solution—keeping contraband out while fostering a safe, respectful, and rehabilitative environment that supports youth on their path to reentering society.
