Inmate Property Bags | Durable Storage for Correctional Facilities
Inmate property bags provide safe, long-lasting storage for clothing, valuables, and personal items. Choose from hanging, boxed, or in-cell options that support facility safety and security compliance.
Inmate Property Bags for Secure Intake & Long-Term Storage
Inmate property bags provide correctional staff with a secure, organized solution for storing personal items during booking, transfer, or incarceration. These hanging bags are ideal for jails, prisons, and detention centers that require efficient identification, ventilation, and controlled access to stored items.
They integrate easily with existing rail or conveyor systems and help facilities comply with intake and release protocols while keeping property safe and accessible.
Features
- Compatible with conveyor and rail systems
- Locking options for valuables and small items
- Clear document sleeves for easy identification
- Reinforced materials for daily use
- Ventilated to prevent odor and mildew
Flat & Boxed Property Bags for Shelving and Bin Storage
For facilities without hanging systems, soft-sided property bags offer a compact, secure way to store inmate belongings on shelves or in bins. These zippered storage bags are ideal for long-term storage of personal items, especially when using bin-based inventory methods in intake or property rooms.
Designed with reinforced handles, tamper-resistant features, and identification sleeves, they help standardize property control across diverse facility layouts.
Inmate Storage

Property Bag Racks for Organized, High-Capacity Storage
Property bag racks are a space-saving solution for managing inmate belongings in high-traffic intake areas and property rooms. These freestanding or wall-mounted racks hold multiple rows of hanging bags, keeping them organized, visible, and easily accessible for staff.
Adjustable tiers and optional top shelves allow facilities to expand capacity without sacrificing floor space. Ideal for jails, prisons, and detention centers managing large volumes of inmate property.

Tamper-Evident Closures for Chain of Custody Protection
Maintaining chain of custody is essential in correctional environments. Many inmate property bags support locking mechanisms such as brass zippers, tamper-evident seals, or padlock compatibility to help prevent unauthorized access. These features reduce liability and ensure the integrity of stored items throughout intake, transfer, and release.
Locking options are ideal for storing valuables, sensitive items, or evidence-related property that requires extra security during handling.
