A lot of emphasis and attention needs to be put on this subject as it is a key area when it comes to security. The people mainly transported are inmates who have criminal records which means they have no problem breaking the law. The means of transport and the security guards hence have to be chosen wisely with a lot of precautions. For the conveyance to be successful, the following guidelines should be put in place in prisoner transport systems.
The vehicle being used in transportation should be the main key factor. They mostly use vans and buses which are specially equipped for the task and they transport the inmates from safe areas such as law courts and jails to other prisons. In some few cases planes, trains and vessels can be 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.
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.
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.
Prison transport system will run well and efficiently in terms of services if all the above is observed. Mistreatment of prisoners which is a common case will be reduced and they will be treated with justice. Following all these criteria no wastage of time will occur thus reducing cost and man power used.
