PRODUCT DETAILS
The standard package purchased by 100% of UK prisons is the 50Kg model complete with protective overall and carrying/storage holdall - it is for this reason that we consider the package to be the 'industry standard'.
The Ruth Lee Prisoner Security Manikin RLPS50 is designed for custody, prison, and law enforcement environments where controlled, realistic training is essential. This manikin allows teams to safely rehearse scenarios involving the handling of uncooperative, unconscious, or injured detainees—without putting people at risk.
Built to replicate the size and weight of a real person (50 kg), the RLPS50 features jointed limbs and a soft body, allowing for realistic positioning in cells, vehicles, or confined areas. The manikin is reinforced at high-stress points and made from durable materials that can withstand repeated use during physical drills, including restraint techniques, cell extractions, and emergency medical response.
Key features include:
-
Lifelike 50 kg weight to simulate an adult prisoner or detainee
-
Flexible limbs for realistic movement and positioning during restraint or evacuation
-
Soft, durable construction to prevent injury or equipment damage
-
Ideal for prison, police, court custody, and tactical training units
-
Reusable and easy to clean after intense training scenarios
The RLPS50 enhances realism in secure handling and tactical response drills, helping correctional and security personnel build safe, effective procedures for high-stress, high-risk environments.
