Precautions To Take In Prisoner Transport Systems

By Stacey Burt


Transporting the inmates from a place to another can be very dangerous. Despite the fact that it is dangerous, it is a part of law that cannot be avoided. The danger is brought about by the thought of the prisoners to hack the journey and escape. The thriller by Nicolas cage drew people attention to the fact that the transport period is a great opportunity for inmates to get away. Prisoner transport systems give the law enforcement officers an opportunity to carry out this task successfully without necessarily putting their lives in danger.

The rate at which people were incarcerated was not high until the 1980s. Since then, the government thought it was necessary to build multiple prison facilities. Since then the need for the transportation of inmates has increased due to a number of reasons. For instance, there can be administrative transfers for reasons such as health appointments or mental health problems.

There are a very huge number of prisoners who usually get moved from one facility to another in a single day. In fact, logistics say that in more than 32 correctional facilities in the country, over 200 prisoners are moved. Very many inmates consider this as their only and best opportunity to finally be free hence they do some dangerous things to escape the guards.

There are various methods that the prisoners can use to escape the watch of guards during transportation. One of the methods is through the attacking of the officers. This may even cause accidents that also cause harm to innocent civilians around the scene of the crime. This is why it is necessary to specially train the officers so that they know how to handle such situations.

Not every law enforcement officer can be given the responsibility of transporting the inmates. There are some critical qualities that an officer must possess before they can be given this responsibility. For example, they must be able to shoot from moving cars and they should also have a very high level of physical and mental fitness. They must also be capable of detecting unfamiliar situations so that they can stop escape plots before they happen.

The best way to transport prisoners safely is to make a simple assumption that all prisoners are considering the possibility of escaping. With this assumption, the officers will be able to take precautionary measures and be very careful throughout the trip. They will also be very observant of the surrounding to make sure they are not followed to their new destination.

Communication is one of the key factors that can help officers when there is an escape plot by inmates. They must be well equipped with communication gadgets that will help them to call for help if anything occurs. It can be very difficult to stop the prisoners if they are more than the guards. Every single detail should be taken into consideration during the journey to avoid escape cases.

Even though the officers are allowed to make the above assumption, it is not true. Hence they should avoid treating the inmates like there are trying to escape. They are also human beings with rights hence they must never be mistreated just because they have committed a criminal offence in the past.
