Heavily-weighted products from our innovative Ryno range occupy the majority of the space, with prisoners seated in the vibrant Lime Green chairs which helps staff to easily monitor the room. The weighting of the Ryno products prevents visitors and prisoners from rearranging the furniture to get closer to one another – presenting a contraband-passing risk by making it more difficult for staff to effectively monitor the room.

Adjacent to the main hall, the incentivized “enhanced area” features Ohio Plus chairs in soft upholstery which are also heavily-weighted and reinforced.

When staff at this facility needed a to create a new association area for inmates, safety and security were at the top of the list of requirements. However, traditional furniture is unsuitable for such environments – in the event of a disturbance, chairs can be easily picked up and thrown which escalating the situation and increases the danger level. Furniture may also pose a weapons risk if they can be dismantled into smaller pieces, and stashing opportunities can be exploited to pass contraband.

Products from our Ryno dining tables and chairs were perfect for meeting these complex requirements while avoiding an ‘institutional’ aesthetic. All Ryno products can be heavily weighted making them impossible to pick up and throw. If necessary, the items can also be securely fixed to the floor using heavy duty stainless steel fixtures.

As well as excellent strength & durability, the one-piece construction provides no stashing opportunities and cannot be dismantled or weaponized. This all contributes to better safety for inmates and staff alike and reduces the replacement costs caused by willful damage.

Pineapple furniture was recently selected to transform this maximum security facility into a safer, less daunting space. The previous furniture was no longer fit for purpose because chairs and tables had been damaged and had to be removed for safety reasons. The coffee tables were light enough to be picked up and thrown and chair cushions were presenting a concealment risk prompting new, safer and more robust furniture.

By understanding the previous issues and worries with their visit furniture, we were able to improve prisoner, staff and visitor safety with our Ryno furniture range. The Ryno lounge chairs were supplied in a consistent color scheme to assist staff monitoring and were weighted to prevent throwing. The rotationally molded one-piece design improved safety within the visits halls because unlike a conventional chair, there are no legs to detach and weaponize, and the chair cannot be easily lifted from the floor. Safety throughout the rest of the prison is helped too by the absence of concealment points which reduces contraband stashing. This single-piece construction creates an extremely strong and resilient chair which will require fewer replacements over time. The chairs were coupled with white Cumulus coffee tables which also deter misuse courtesy of their heavy-duty powder-coated steel base.

When refurbishing their visitor center, the client was keen to “break the mold”. Aiming to avoid a traditionally austere environment, they wanted to create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere which would benefit prisoners, visitors and officers alike.

Skye tub chairs provide informal seating, upholstered in vibrant leather-effect vinyl which can be easily cleaned with a damp microfiber cloth thanks to their water-resistant properties. The chairs have anti-stash seams as standard, improving safety throughout the rest of the prison by reducing the potential for exchange of contraband.

Cumulus dining tables and stackable Touch chairs provide versatile seating options for staff meetings or visitors and prisoners making use of the cafe facilities. The dining tables and coffee tables benefit from a heavyweight solid metal base which provides stability and improves safety in the event of a disruption.
