guard towers
Elevated security posts
Guard towers are elevated structures positioned at the perimeters of prisons, military bases, or other secured facilities, staffed by armed personnel who monitor for escapes or intrusions.
The height provides clear sightlines over walls and fences.
Guard towers evoke images of surveillance and confinement: Searchlights swept from the guard towers across the yard.
