Correction Institutions

The puncture-resistant vest is a vital piece of safety equipment for correction professionals.

The puncture-resistant vest is the correction professionals’ single most important piece of safety equipment. As inmate populations grow and violent offenders are on the rise, a recent Department of Justice study listed corrections officer as the second most dangerous job in the United States.

DuPont™ Kevlar® Correctional™ technology is specifically designed to stand up to the unique threats these officers face: puncture and stab attacks from handmade weapons. It provides comfortable, concealable and wearable protection designed to help corrections professionals do their job and come home safely.
