A. The Department of Corrections may design and install high-voltage electrified security fence systems at all existing and proposed medium and maximum security prisons. At the time of installation there shall be posted universal danger signs on all sides of the system clearly visible to inmates and the public and also displaying in English the warning "Deadly Voltage”. The installation of these electric fence systems shall be between double, twelve-foot high, security perimeter fences, with the exception of those locations where a building or wall constitutes a part of the security perimeter.
B. A provider of electricity for the electric fence system authorized by this section or the providers of parts for construction of the system shall not be liable for any accident, injury or death which may occur as a result of the construction or operation of the system, unless the accident, injury or death was caused by the gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct of the provider or the provider’s employee or agent.
