When an inmate is removed and escorted from the confines of a secure facility to another location, this is called what?

• A. Transfer
• B. Evacuation
• C. Transport
• D. Removal

Answer: (C)

Transport is the process of moving an inmate from one location to another under escort, with security and safety managed throughout the move. The description fits this term because it emphasizes the actual act of removal and continuous supervision as the inmate is taken from the secure facility to a different location, whether on-site or off-site. Evacuation refers to emergency removal for safety reasons, which isn’t implied here. Transfer usually denotes moving to a different facility or unit as an administrative action, rather than the hands-on movement and escort described. Removal isn’t the standard term used for this process.
