Summary
Secure, Integrated, Correctional-Grade Solutions — Not Piecemeal Equipment
Correctional facilities don’t need a collection of stand-alone appliances. They need complete systems engineered for high-volume production, inmate labor dynamics, and strict institutional security. Aldevra designs and delivers fully integrated correctional foodservice systems that support continuous operation, reduce contraband risks, and simplify supervision for custody staff.
Each system is built from correctional-grade equipment packages, security-focused architecture, and best practices recommended by ACFSA and institutional design experts.
System 1: Secure Cookline & Production System
A production line that supports 2,000–10,000+ meals/day requires equipment built for durability, simplicity, and safety—especially when inmate labor is involved.
Core Features
- High-volume ovens, steamers, and kettles designed for institutional workloads
- Anti-tamper control panels that eliminate access to wiring, switches, and removable components
- Simple operator interfaces to reduce training time and errors with rotating inmate workers
- Reinforced stainless construction to withstand impact, misuse, and continuous operation
This system ensures consistent meal production with minimal downtime, maximum supervision, and zero tolerance for tampering.
System 2: Dishroom & Trayline Security System
The dishroom is one of the highest-risk zones in a correctional kitchen. Aldevra delivers secure trayline and warewashing systems that minimize contraband opportunities, reduce injuries, and ensure compliant sanitation.
Core Features
- Tamper-proof soiled tray conveyors with enclosed mechanics and guarded pinch points
- Tray return flow design optimized for inmate and officer movements
- Flight and conveyor dish machines built for institutional throughput
- Enclosed dishtables with welded bases to eliminate hiding places
- Chemical control protocols for safe, supervised warewashing operations
This system keeps sanitation compliant, workflows controlled, and supervision straightforward.
System 3: Meal Delivery & Housing Unit Distribution System
Meal distribution affects security, temperature compliance, and inmate morale. Aldevra delivers the equipment and processes required for safe, consistent delivery across multiple housing units.
Core Features
- Insulated, non-weaponizable trays that maintain temperatures and prevent misuse
- Locking transport carts with reinforced hinges, bumpers, and latch systems
- Tamper-resistant hardware designed for secure movement through controlled corridors
- Pre-mapped distribution routes developed to match custody operations and feeding cycles
This system ensures compliant, controlled meal delivery from the kitchen to every housing unit.
System 4: Secure Storage, Refrigeration & Holding System
Storage and refrigeration failures create compliance issues—and in correctional environments, security issues as well. Aldevra provides institutional-grade cold storage engineered for durability and control.
Core Features
- Correctional-spec refrigerators and freezers with reinforced doors and frames
- Heavy-duty hinges and locking mechanisms to prevent tampering or bypass
- Lockable access panels to protect mechanical components from inmate contact
- Integrated temperature monitoring for HACCP documentation and audit readiness
This system maintains food safety while preventing unauthorized access or equipment misuse.
System 5: Stainless Fixtures, Worktables & Support System
Correctional support fixtures must eliminate risk—not introduce it. Aldevra sources and installs complete stainless systems engineered for institutional oversight.
Core Features
- Welded, enclosed bases that eliminate storage voids and contraband opportunities
- Floor-mounted or fixed caster systems to prevent unauthorized movement
- Anti-ligature design across sinks, prep tables, mop stations, and shelving
- Institutional-grade fixtures built for chemical resistance, impact durability, and continuous use
This system supports safe daily workflow while reducing environmental risks for staff and inmates.
