Modular Steel Detention Cells & Security Systems
At Maximum Security System, we specialize in delivering high-quality modular steel detention cells and security wall systems designed to meet the evolving needs of correctional facilities. Since joining the Coastal Detention family in April 2022, we have expanded our ability to provide innovative solutions backed by decades of combined industry expertise. Our patented GenNext cell system offers unmatched advantages, including pre-determined delivery timelines, cost-effective installation, and lightweight construction that reduces foundation expenses. We adhere to rigorous standards, including ASTM F2322-03 testing, ensuring our products exceed physical assault resistance requirements.Our powder-coat finish delivers a non-porous, durable surface that simplifies maintenance while preventing bacterial growth. With installations across Montana, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Mississippi, we combine technical precision with client-centric service to deliver projects on time and within budget. Proudly affiliated with the National Correctional Industries Association, American Jail Association, and other leading industry bodies, we remain committed to advancing security infrastructure through innovation and reliability.

Modular Steel Detention Cells
Our modular steel detention cells feature patented interlocking designs for rapid assembly and ASTM-certified durability. Lightweight construction reduces foundation costs by up to 80% compared to concrete, while powder-coated surfaces resist corrosion and bacterial growth. Ideal for correctional facilities requiring secure, code-compliant housing units with accelerated project timelines.
Security Wall Systems
Load-bearing security wall systems support roof, wind, and seismic loads while maintaining detention-grade integrity. 2-inch steel plate construction saves 14+ sq ft per cell versus 8-inch concrete walls, reducing building footprints and operational costs. Pre-finished panels eliminate field painting requirements for faster installation.
GenNext Cell System
The GenNext system combines structural steel channels with powder-coated finishes for superior strength-to-weight ratios. Cells pass 600-impact ASTM F2322-03 testing with blunt/sharp tips, ensuring compliance with correctional facility safety standards. Modular design allows customization for unique architectural requirements like curved or multi-level configurations.
Wall Panel Systems
Prefabricated wall panels integrate seamlessly with detention cell frameworks to create secure, non-porous enclosures. Panels arrive pre-finished and interlock without welding, maintaining structural integrity while minimizing on-site labor. Suitable for both interior partitions and exterior security barriers in correctional environments.
Integral Mezzanine Units
Space-saving mezzanine solutions add functional tiers within detention cells without compromising safety. Engineered to support occupant loads and integrate with lighting/sprinkler systems, these units maximize vertical space in facilities constrained by footprint limitations while maintaining full compliance with correctional design standards.
Questions
What distinguishes Maximum Security Systems' detention cells from concrete alternatives?
Our steel cells weigh under 6,000 lbs. versus 32,000 lbs. for concrete, reducing foundation costs by 80% while maintaining ASTM F2322-03 compliance for impact resistance.
Can your systems support multi-level correctional facility designs?
Yes. Our load-bearing walls have supported six-level cell arrays and concrete second floors, as demonstrated in projects for Colorado's DRDC and CSNA Architects.
How do you ensure long-term durability in detention environments?
We use powder-coated steel surfaces that resist corrosion, bacterial growth, and graffiti adhesion while meeting correctional facility maintenance standards without field painting requirements.
What installation advantages do your modular systems provide?
Pre-finished cells arrive ready for assembly, eliminating weather delays. Small crews install up to 24 units daily using our patented interlocking design that requires no on-site welding.
Which geographic areas do you serve?
We complete projects nationwide, with recent installations in Montana, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Mississippi correctional facilities.
