prisoner transport

Secure detainee movement

Prisoner transport is the movement of incarcerated people from one location to another—between jails, prisons, courthouses, or across jurisdictions.

The term covers both the act itself and the vehicles used: The prisoner transport arrived at the courthouse under heavy guard.

Transport may involve specialized vans, buses, or aircraft operated by corrections departments or private contractors.
