Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A U.S. Justice Department report has said the U.S. Marshals prisoner transport system is not able to guarantee safety procedures are followed properly.
The report, by the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General, said the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System also lacks the ability to make accurate long-term capacity projections and recommended the service reduce costs by increasing the number of passengers on each flight, The Washington Times reported Wednesday.
"The overall demand for prisoner and alien transportation has grown over the past six years, but our audit found that JPATS has not yet developed a planning tool that allows it to project prisoner and alien movements more than one year into the future," said Inspector General Glenn Fine.
Fine's report said JPATS has policies in place to ensure safety and security on the flights, but "generally does not have the necessary systems in place to ensure that it adheres to its own standards on safety and security."
