How Prisoner Transport Systems Operate

By Mattie Knight


This is known to be a key area which needs more attention and focus. It mainly involves transportation of inmates who are obviously criminals or law breakers; hence, care must be taken as they are bound to cause trouble. For that reason, special measures and precautions have to be put in place especially in selecting the security personnel. The following is a guideline on how to make the conveyance successful through prisoner transport systems by ensuring no trouble is caused all through.

The transport vehicle is the first thing to put a lot of emphasis on. The vehicle is specially designed for the task and usually a bus or van is used on the carriage from a secure place such as prisons or court houses to another. In other areas railcars, vessels or aircraft can be used but that is rarely used.

Safety on these vehicles is ensured by having bars and wire mesh covering the windows. They also contain bullet proof glasses for extra security. Radio communication gadgets are also equipped as there can be isolation from other guards during transporting. Carrying extra weapons and use of position units is advisable for easy tracking.

Training the police officers who operate these cars and conduct the transportation operation is very import as a lot of professionalism is needed. Security guards from correctional services and court services are most viable for this job as they have a lot of experience having spent most of their time with these inmates. One has to undergo initial training in order to handle these prisoners properly. Usually, assistance in escorting the vehicle is provided if the vehicle is passing through risky regions.

Incidents involving mistreatment of the prisoners on transportation is common. Therefore, there is need to install security cameras all over the vans. In case of abuse, there will be crude evidence from the video recording which can help in solving the disputes. If the car is attacked, it can be easy to identify the attackers through these cameras as the event is recorded.

The vehicles used in transportation should be large in order to transport a lot of prisoners at a time. This helps in reduction of the cost incurred through fuel, vehicle lease and maintenance. Some of the drivers work on contracts thus the few times they are on the move the less the payment they will demand. There should also be planned effective schedules hence ensuring prisoners are delivered to required regions on time.

Inmates being transported should always be safe in terms of their health and welfare. The vans are specially designed having cages which help in separating the different categories of inmates be it adults, women or children. Gadgets which automatically regulate temperatures are also installed.

By ensuring all this, the prison transport system will provide very good services and also avoid the cases of mistreatment on transportation. Provision of better facilities will ensure no problems occur during the voyage and that everything is done on time and according to the schedule. The security officers will also ensure that they are at all times safe.
