KZF provided architectural and engineering services for the installation of non-lethal/lethal fences at eight existing US Penitentiaries. The Fence System promotes an alarm event when tampered with, delivers first a non-lethal voltage and with subsequent tampering, lethal voltage discharge. The goal of the project was to reduce the operational cost of the existing facility by designing and installing the non-lethal/lethal fence around the perimeter of each prison, eliminating the expense of 6 to 7 guard towers, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Each project included the design and integration of new perimeter sallyport gate interlocks. Project locations included:
- US Penitentiary Atwater; Atwater, CA
- US Penitentiary Victorville; Victorville, CA
- US Penitentiary Canaan; Waymart, PA
- US Penitentiary Lee; Pennington Gap, VA
- US Penitentiary Big Sandy; Inez, KY
- US Penitentiary Florence; Florence, CO
