Discuss how using electrified fences to prevent escapes from prisons helps reduce operational costs and saves money

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should explain how electrified fences work, including the ability of the prison to reduce the number of perimeter guard towers. Operational cost savings of electrified fences result from the reduced staffing of prison guard towers and other perimeter guard positions. While there are costs involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of an electrified fence, the cost savings resulting from reduced staffing generally mean that the cost of a fence is recouped within the first two years of operation.
