Jail cell decontamination is a specialized, deep-cleaning process to remove infectious agents, bodily fluids, drug residues, and other biohazards to prevent disease transmission and maintain health and safety for inmates and staff. 

 

It involves the use of hospital-grade sanitizers, hospital-strength disinfectants, and regulated protocols to clean and sanitize all surfaces, fixtures, and equipment. 

 

Professional biohazard remediation services are often required to address the high-risk contamination found in jail cells and other correctional facilities, including airborne pathogens and contaminated surfaces.  

 

Why Decontamination is Necessary

• Disease Prevention:  Jails are high-risk environments for the spread of infectious diseases like influenza, tuberculosis, MRSA, and hepatitis B. 
• Biohazard Removal:  Bodily fluids, blood, feces, and other hazardous materials are common in jail cells and require specialized handling and disposal. 
• Drug Residue:  Inmates may contaminate cells with drug residue, which can be a significant health hazard. 
• Improved Health and Safety:  Proper decontamination protects the health of both inmates and correctional officers. 
• Regulatory Compliance:  Professional decontamination ensures facilities comply with sanitation and OSHA regulations. 

 

Key Aspects of Jail Cell Decontamination

• Targeted Cleaning:  Cleaning extends beyond basic sanitation to address high-touch surfaces like walls, floors, bunks, and fixtures. 
• Biohazard Removal:  Specific protocols are followed for the removal and disposal of biohazardous waste such as blood, vomit, and urine. 
• Odor Neutralization:  Advanced cleaning processes eliminate lingering odors caused by bacteria or other contaminants. 
• Hospital-Grade Products:  The process uses hospital-strength sanitizers and disinfectants to effectively eradicate pathogens. 
• Specialized Equipment:  Technologies like no-touch cleaning systems can be used for efficient removal of soils and complete drying of surfaces.
