Correctional Facilities

The American criminal justice system holds almost 2.3 million people in 1,833 state prisons, 110 federal prisons, 1,772 juvenile correctional facilities, 3,134 local jails, 218 immigration detention facilities, and 80 Indian Country jails as well as in military prisons, civil commitment centers, state psychiatric hospitals, and prisons in the U.S. territories. Most jails and prisons were constructed to maximize public safety, not to minimize the transmission of disease or to efficiently deliver health care. The probability of transmission of potentially pathogenic organisms is increased by crowding, delays in medical evaluation and treatment, rationed access to soap, water, and clean laundry, insufficient infection-control expertise. The recent surge in Coronavirus outbreaks throughout the US prisons and jails has led to mandatory release of nearly 100,000 non-violent inmates as well as over a hundred deaths. Bioguard America will create an effective decontamination plan of action to make your correctional facility safe for existing prisoners and staff from the deadly Coronavirus.

Has someone occupying your commercial building become ill with COVID-19, or are you awaiting test results? The safest course of action is to consider the entire building contaminated and a potential risk to current occupants until you can perform the proper contact tracing. Whether your business has a confirmed COVID-19 outbreak or you simply want to be proactive to reduce the chance of a future outbreak upon reopening, the onus is on you to keep your clients and employees safe from the deadly COVID-19. In fact, General Duty Clause, 29 USC 654, section 5(a)(1) requires that employers protect their employees and clients from recognized hazards.

Bioguard America will help you create a proactive approach to limit your potential financial and legal exposure.
