Advanced Contraband Detection Solutions for Prisons & Jails

Advanced contraband detection behind the wall and beyond the checkpoint

Inadequate budgets and staff shortages put prisons at a crossroads between maintaining vigilance against contraband and having the means to do so. Metrasens aids prisons and jails in the detection of contraband at and beyond the checkpoint. Put a stop to dangerous, costly incidents before they happen—creating a safer environment for inmates, staff and visitors.

Take charge of contraband issues within your prison—do more with less using Metrasens.

Metrasens offers the balance you need—effective, efficient contraband detection throughout your prison that doesn’t put your staff at risk, keeping them safe and allowing them to work at their best level. Flexible deployment options empower your staff to find contraband, put a stop to violent incidents, and prevent repeat offenses.

Growing Challenges in Corrections

Correctional facilities are stretched thin. High staff turnover, shrinking budgets, and increasing demands make it harder to maintain security. Yet, contraband keeps finding its way inside—fueling violence, corruption, and operational risks. With fewer resources and growing pressure to be more efficient, facilities need smarter, more adaptable solutions to keep contraband under control and staff safe.

Why Fixed Checkpoints and Static Scanners Aren’t Enough

Once contraband gets inside, traditional security measures fall short. Fixed checkpoints only screen at entry points, leaving facilities vulnerable to hidden items moving freely. Body scanners, while effective, are static and come with a high price tag. Metrasens Ultra changes the game. Its portable design enables surprise screenings, mass searches, and targeted interventions—giving officers real control over contraband movement. It detects items concealed inside the body and pinpoints their location, ensuring faster, more effective action without straining resources.
