Lori,
this is a door position switch, this tells the guard shack what door is open and whats closed,it is armless for safety reasons (suicide/aggressive inmate)
this would make a great closer, as its “armless” and less moving parts!
as for brand/series, this best sounds like what your looking at

Here you go.
Looks like a door position switch. It turns on a light or buzzer to show door open/closed.
Is it a detention grade door position switch?
I think Jess nailed it. I was going to say an anti-ligature reinforcing pivot. Regardless, it is not installed very well, as the door portion is not square to the world.
Formerly Southern Steel 220 Door position switch.
Lori, this is a switch, usually used for door position, but can also trigger other detention-related relays, such as locking other doors (think sally port).
Seems like an awful lot of hardware compared to a concealed $20 DPS.
It looks like a 220A door position switch from Southern Steel. See page 10 of their catalog: http://www.southernfolger.com/files/Southern_Steel_Accessories_Section_2013_09302013.pdf
