Correctional Facility Security Services Across the Gulf South

Correctional facilities carry some of the highest security stakes of any client type Valen Surveillance & Security serves. With approximately 90% of its business built on government contracts, Valen has developed specific experience protecting correctional institutions across the Gulf South — combining licensed guards, X-ray screening, and physical security into layered systems designed for facilities where a single security gap has serious consequences.
Your questions, answered.
Yes. Correctional facilities are one of Valen's established public-sector client categories, supported by the company's broader government-contracting experience across the Gulf South.
Valen combines licensed security guards, X-ray security screening, and integrated physical security — including surveillance, access control, and perimeter protection — into layered systems suited to correctional environments.
X-ray screening detects concealed weapons, explosives, and contraband before they enter a secure area, making it a standard part of the layered security correctional institutions require.
Yes. Counter-UAS and drone detection technology is available as part of Valen's broader security offering, adding an airspace layer that ground-based security alone doesn't cover — relevant for correctional sites where contraband delivery by drone is a known risk.
Correctional facilities require a higher standard of layered protection since a single point of failure can have serious consequences — Valen designs systems specifically suited to these higher-stakes environments rather than applying standard commercial security measures.
Correctional facility security requires a provider that understands both the operational stakes and the government procurement process — Valen brings direct experience with both. Call 1-800-725-3826 to schedule a security assessment for your correctional facility or public institution.
