Garments for potential suicides

Ferguson Safety Products carries a line of nigh-indestructible clothing intended for prisoners and mental patients on suicide watch, who would otherwise have to go nude to prevent them from improvising a suicide rope or other tool from their clothing.

When an inmate of a correctional facility is acutely suicidal, officers must remove every item that can be used for self-harm. Our smocks and bedding safely allow the inmate warmth and modesty.
* The Safety Smock A quilted gown designed specifically to clothe suicidal prisoners/inmates (not a restraint).
* The Safety Blanket Sturdy and quilted for safety and warmth.
