Medication Distribution Lockers

Distribution of medication in prisons is a critical process.

Choosing between queuing for essential medication eats into recreation time and can lead to frustration. Furthermore, picking up medication in front of other prisoners can lead to bullying.

Medical hatches, therefore become a potential flashpoint in the prison, and if poorly controlled create an unsafe environment for prisoners, prison officers and healthcare professionals.

A solution for the safe and secure distribution of prisoners' medications

Medication Distribution Lockers (MDLs), allow healthcare professionals to load prisoner-specific medications into secure locker compartments. Prisoners can then access the locker to collect their medication at a convenient time. This reduces the risks associated with traditional distribution methods.

Improving prisoner health and well-being:

Convenient locker access removes anxiety over collecting essential medication
Gives prisoners the ability to plan their activities
Enables close monitoring of potential "at risk" prisoners
Immediately highlights prisoners who have not collected their medications.
