This is a very sensitive area when it comes to security and a lot of stress should be put on it. Transportation done is mainly of convicts who are capable of causing harm or many other bad things. The personnel guarding them and their means of transport hence have to be chosen carefully and with a lot of safety measures. For the delivery to be done successfully the guidelines below should be followed on prisoner transport systems.
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.
These cars should be highly protected thus may have bars or wire mesh on the windows. The glass on the panes are mostly bullet proof for maximum security. As they are escorting the prisoners, isolation from other security personnel occurs thus the vehicles are equipped with radio communications, addition weapons and positioning units 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.
Authorities can be in a position to mistreat the prisoners in the process of their transportation. Having security cameras all over the vans help reduce such cases. Recording from the videos can be used as evidence if this occur and thus ensuring justice has been done. In case the car is ambushed or is involved in an accident all the events leading to this will be well viewed and those responsible apprehended.
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.
Ensuring the safety of convicts by maintaining their health and welfare must be highly considered. Special cages built in these vans reduce the mixing of inmates of opposite sex or young ones with adults. The conditions in terms of temperature should be well maintained by use of equipments to regulate this.
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.
