Three Property Room Problems We Help Solve

Jail property rooms have to protect inmate belongings, control limited storage space, and keep the release process organized. CPI Guardian systems are designed around those challenges.

1

Reduce Lost Property Claims

Create a clear, signed, tamper-evident package at intake so inmate belongings are documented and easier to return accurately at release.

2

Reclaim Property Room Space

Vacuum-compress inmate clothing and soft property to reduce the amount of valuable storage space required in the property room.

3

Contain Odors & Pests

Sealed clothing storage helps contain odors and reduces the spread of bedbugs and lice while property remains in storage.

Reduce Lost Property Claims and Release Delays with the Guardian 1416J

The Guardian 1416J creates a clear, signed, tamper-evident property package at intake — so items are documented once and returned exactly as stored

  • Creates a fully visible documented inventory signed by the inmate at intake

  • 100% tamper-evident packaging that clearly shows if disturbed

  • Reduces false and legitimate lost property claims

  • Speeds release by eliminating re-sorting and repeated handling

  • Fixed factory settings prevent operator tampering and reduce errors

  • Simple, repeatable process that staff can learn quickly

Reduce Clothing Bulk, Odor, and Pest Risk with the Property Room Expander

Bulky inmate clothing consumes valuable storage space and contributes to odor and sanitation concerns. The Property Room Expander compresses clothing within your existing storage process — increasing capacity without requiring major operational changes

  • Compresses bulky clothing to significantly increase available storage space

  • Integrates with existing conveyor, hanging bag, or bin systems

  • Contains odor and helps contain contaminants at intake

  • Helps reduce the spread of pests within storage areas

  • Simple, repeatable process that staff can learn quickly

  • Fixed factory settings prevent operator tampering and reduce equipment wear
