Factors To Consider When Picking Prisoner Transport Systems

By Mattie Knight


Inmates usually have to be moved from one place to another. This is often due to several reasons, like being moved to different prisons or being transported to court or to attend certain events. It is important that you have an effective and secure means of transporting inmates to minimize chances of inmates escaping or hurting each other or law enforcement authorities. Here are some major factors to keep in mind when choosing which prisoner transport systems to use.

Decide on the means of transportation that you want used. This will mainly depend on where you are moving the inmates to. For short distances or for distances that can be easily accessed, you are better of using vehicles. Rail is another option that can be explored. Air transport can also be used if the inmate needs to be somewhere urgently or if they have to travel a long distance.

Your transportation budget matters a lot. Generally the cost of transporting criminals is high due to the number of measures that have to be put in place to secure them. Air transportation is among the most expensive. The number of personnel accompanying the criminal influences the cost. The more the personnel, the more expensive it will be. The cost of gas matters, so the more vehicles you use the more you will have to spend.

How many inmates need to be moved on a regular basis should be considered. If a lot of inmates need to be transported, it would be advisable to buy a big vehicle. However, if you only need to transport a few inmates, you can buy a smaller vehicle, such a van or a car. Having a range of vehicles in big sizes can give you the option of choosing the most appropriate transportation means when the need arises.

You can buy ready-made vehicles that are already secured or you can have them customized to your needs. Customized vehicles are a good option if you want particular features added to the vehicle that you will be using. To go for this option, you need to give the vendor plenty of time for the vehicle to be worked on. This will work out best if you do not urgently need to use the vehicle.

The profile of the prisoners to be transported should be thought about. Hardened criminals require more security during transportation than petty thieves. This means that you may have to use more secure vehicles for dangerous criminals. You will also need to have armored vehicles and extra personnel to accompany the vehicle transporting the criminal.

It should be possible for prison guards to communicate to each other during the entire transportation exercise. This means that the vehicle should come fitted with modern communication equipment that are easy to use. You can also have your own communication equipment installed in the vehicles.

Make sure to purchase your vehicle from a recognized and certified vendor. This increases the chances that the product you get meets the required standards of security. Always check to see if the vendor is recognized by state security agents. It is also advisable to buy from vendors who come highly recommended, so do some due diligence and ask around to find out where other law enforcement agencies source their vehicles from.
