It's important to remember that the reason these heads operate so easily is to prevent some inmate from hanging themselves. The link is required to break I believe with less than 10#'s pressure. (Been a while, could be just "Miss-remembering') No matter what our opinions of the state of the criminal justice system, this is what is required.
I have known of one sheriff's dept that allowed sprinklers to run for no less than 2 hours, if the inmates activated it. Picture the sole hiding behind his mattress in a corner, soaked to the bone, before they shut it off. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

They showed it at the NFPA show in early June and the thing that makes it especially useful in detention cells is that the escutcheon is of a "locked-in" design. The sprinkler can't be hit or picked at nearly as easily as others.
