Jail Bars to Rent, With Bunks, Benches and Visiting Tables

Steel bar sections from 33 to 140 inches wide

Every jail bar section in the EC Props stock book is 95 inches tall, so a section is chosen by its width and by whether it has a door. Widths run from 33 inches on B-0240 to 140 inches on B-0238, with B-0237 at 120 inches; B-0239a is 61 inches wide with 10 bars, and B-0239b is 60 1/2 inches wide with 9 bars. The sections with a door are the 2 listed as B-0236, each 132 inches wide, as units A and B, and EC lists their keys as B-0236k.

None of the sections has a photo on file in the stock book. EC's old Jail Bars page listed these same sections, and the Jail Bars photo wall holds the old site's two Jail Bars images, a full view and a detail.

Cell bunks, toilets, mirrors and wall shelves

EC's jail bunks come in a wall mount style, B-0172, 80 by 27 inches with 7 in the book, and a freestanding style on short legs, B-0172a, 80 by 27½ by 18¼ inches with 3 in the book. T-0206 is the jail and prison cell table, wall mount, in gray steel, 24 by 24 inches.

T-0258 is a stainless steel jail toilet, wall mount, with no sink. The toilet and sink units, also stainless steel, differ in where the toilet sits: centered on T-0461a, angled left on T-0461b and angled right on T-0461c, each listed with hot and cold buttons, and angled right again on T-0491, which has a rounded body.

EC's prison mirrors are stainless steel and wall mount: M-0017 is 16 by 20 inches with 5 in the book, and M-0017a is 14 by 18 inches. Stainless steel wall shelves step up in width from S-1697s, 15½ by 6½ inches with 2 brackets, to S-1697, S-1316 and S-1315 at 24, 36 and 48 inches wide, each 12 inches deep.

For a cell that has to match, the mirrors, the shelves and every toilet unit are listed as stainless steel and the cell table as gray steel, while the bunk lines name no material; ask the front office about the bunks' finish.

Holding area seating and handcuff bar tables

The holding area benches with a handcuff bar are B-0287, steel, 72 inches wide, with the bar on the front of the seat; B-0303, black steel, 84 inches wide, with a handcuff bar and shackle brackets built into its legs, 4 in the book; and B-0339, fiberglass on metal legs with no back, 96 inches wide.

B-0284 is an aluminum bench without a back, on T style legs with a bottom bar, 90 inches long. S-1270 is a prison style stool in stainless steel on a metal post and base, 12 inches across and 18 inches tall, and C-0226 is an aluminum frame slatback chair with 3 slats, squared legs and no upholstery, with 22 in the book.

T-0126g is a gray office and utility table, 60 by 30 inches and 29 inches tall, with a 51 inch handcuff bar on its side, and T-0126f, another gray office and utility table, is filed in Jail Bars & Furnishings too.

Each bench line gives its length, depth and height, so a holding area wall can be planned from the table before you call the front office. Every bench here except the fiberglass B-0339 also appears in Bleachers & Benches, the prison stool turns up again under Stools, and the slatback chair has a second home among the chairs.

Visiting room tables, the partition counter and phones

EC lists its visitation tables as 4 person or 2 person: J-0039 is a round 4 person table in stainless steel, 40 inches across and 30 inches tall; J-0040 is a round 2 person table, also stainless steel, 28 inches across and 30 inches tall; and J-0041 is a 4 person octagon table in gray steel, 45 by 45 inches, with 4 in the book.

C-0480 is the prison visiting counter, 145 inches wide, 42 inches deep and 48 inches tall with 8 partitions, and its own line notes that the S-1804 stools are rented separately.

P-0295 is a wall mount phone with a steel cord and cradle on a stainless steel plate, 5 by 5 inches, with 30 in the book. P-0106 is an inmate phone with a stainless steel body, a cord and a black phone, 11 inches tall, and P-0313 is a black mock-up of an electronic system command set with a period cradle and phone.

Visiting room notices and the rest of a facility's signs are listed by their wording on the jail and prison signs page.

Security cameras and the interrogation room camera

Security camera lines in EC's Jail Bars & Furnishings category span mini to large: S-2341 is a mini camera 1 3/4 inches wide on a 3 inch stainless steel arm, and S-0912a is a large camera with a plexiglass front, a red light and a mounting arm, 21 inches deep, with 7 in the book.

Ceiling mount globe cameras are S-2496, black plastic, 4 inches across, with 7 in the book, and S-2573, 5 inches across with red trim. Period looks include S-0045, a metal box camera on a 90 degree pipe arm, and S-1285, a large white box camera, while S-1724 is a recessed camera housing with a smoke plexiglass front and a red light.

L-0559 is the interrogation room camera, freestanding on a chrome post. The cameras go out on the same as-is terms as everything else EC rents, which its rental policies put this way: "All items are rented on an as-is basis, without an electrical plug, which makes the items non-operational at time of pick-up."

Truck, crew and pads for 95 inch steel sections

The renter's own truck and crew move the steel bar sections from the North Hollywood dock, since EC's policies say "E. C. Prop Rentals does not provide pick up or delivery."

With sections 95 inches tall and up to 140 inches wide on an order, truck size comes first, and the policies say "You are encouraged to call ahead to see what size truck you will need for your order."

EC's policies are plain about loading: "Due to our insurance policies, E. C. Prop Rentals employees cannot help you load or unload your truck, car or van." The same page adds "Please be sure you send enough crew members with your driver."

On weight, the policies say "E. C. Prop Rentals does not have the ability to weigh any items being rented, nor do we give estimates on the weight of any items being rented." EC's policies also leave the pads and tie-downs to the renter: "Also be sure that you have pads and ropes or tie-downs."

The will-call dock at 11846 Sherman Way has a cutoff, in EC's words: "The loading dock closes at 4:30 PM for pick ups and returns." The rest of the pickup and return terms sit on the rental policies page.
