Disinfectant Fogging for Prisons & Correctional Facilities | Quip Laboratories

Why Correctional Facilities Need Professional Disinfectant Fogging

Correctional facilities are high-risk congregate settings where infectious disease outbreaks can occur rapidly and spread to incarcerated residents, correctional staff, and the broader community. With over 7 million persons admitted to US jails and 1.2 million incarcerated in state and federal prisons annually, effective infection prevention and control is critical for public health.

Traditional surface disinfection methods cannot adequately address the unique challenges of correctional environments. Professional disinfectant fogging with EPA-registered HaloMist provides comprehensive coverage that reaches all surfaces, including areas beyond the reach of sprays, wipes, and manual cleaning.

Correctional Facility Infection Risks

• 7 million persons admitted to US jails annually across 2,848 jurisdictions

• 1.2 million persons incarcerated in state and federal prisons

• COVID-19 incidence rate 3.3x higher than general population in prisons

• Frequent outbreaks of influenza, tuberculosis, MRSA, and other pathogens

Unique Disinfectant Fogging Challenges in Correctional Settings

According to CDC research, correctional facilities present distinct infection prevention challenges that require specialized disinfection approaches:

Crowded Living Conditions

Overcrowding and dormitory housing facilitate disease transmission and limit the feasibility of social distancing measures.

Limited Isolation Capacity

Airborne isolation units and medical isolation single-cell capacity may be nonexistent or very limited in number.

High Population Turnover

Frequent movement of residents within and between facilities complicates outbreak management and contact tracing.

Inadequate Sanitation Resources

Cleaning is often performed by residents who may lack adequate training, supplies, or supervision.

Vulnerable Populations

Higher rates of chronic diseases, substance use disorders, and compromised immune systems increase outbreak risks.

Operational Constraints

Security requirements and operational procedures can limit implementation of traditional infection control measures.
