Suicide Prevention Light Fixtures:

An anti-suicide cell should have tamperproof electrical fixtures with control outside the cell. Because inmates are unsupervised for the majority of the time, cells represent the toughest possible environment for lighting fixtures. They need to withstand extreme physical abuse, entry and concealment attempts and repeated tampering.

Lighting fixtures for the anti-suicide cell should be designed for maximum security applications (14 gauge housing with 0.375"-0.500" of lensing) . Features like fully recessed fasteners, contraband blade traps, full length lens retention, etc. create the toughest and most impenetrable fixtures. Ceiling mount fixtures make unauthorized entry more difficult while wall mount fixtures need to be designed with rounded corners and no edges that can be used as ligature points.
