Precautions To Take In Prisoner Transport Systems

By Stacey Burt


Moving inmates from one place to another is one of the most dangerous things yet it cannot be avoided since it is part of law enforcement. Prisoners can do just about anything on the way so that they never get to prison. The law enforcement agencies did not take this seriously until a thriller by Nicolas cage showed how it is very possible for the inmates to make plans and manage to escape. Prisoner transport systems are therefore a huge part of the correctional system. It must be taken very seriously because it can even lead to severe consequences like death of guards.

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.

However, the assumption that the prisoners can escape does not mean that they are actually planning the escape. For this reason, the officers should not treat them badly because they are assuming they plan to escape. Inmates also have their own human rights and they deserve to be treated fairly.
