prison transport

Inmate transfer vehicle

Prison transport is the movement of inmates between facilities—from jail to court, between prisons, or to medical appointments.

The term also refers to the vehicle used for such transfers, typically a secure bus or van with reinforced compartments: The prison transport arrived at the courthouse under heavy guard.

In historical contexts, prison transport meant deportation of convicts to penal colonies.
