Features:
We built this specialized Prisoner Transport Bus for a Sheriff’s Department, designed to elevate safety, functionality, and control during inmate transport. This custom-built corrections vehicle features reinforced security systems, individually caged seating areas, and tamper‑proof protection around all critical components—all optimized to minimize risk and support safe, compliant inmate movement.
Built with high‑durability materials and correctional‑grade engineering, this secure inmate transport bus delivers a reliable, long‑lasting solution for county jail operations, courthouse transfers, and regional inmate transport.
Enhanced Security Features for Safe Inmate Transportation
To protect both personnel and the integrity of the vehicle, the bus includes comprehensive safety reinforcements:
Key locked maintenance hatch for secure service access
Tamper proof caging surrounding the rear engine and AC system
Protective steel cages around all hazardous or sensitive components
Sliding security door separating inmates from the driver for maximum officer safety
These upgrades ensure the bus remains secure during transport and reduces opportunities for tampering, escape attempts, or equipment damage.
Individually Caged Seating for Controlled Inmate Management
The core of the prisoner transport system is the fully segmented seating layout, built to maximize both safety and efficiency.
Compartment Features:
Six individually caged compartments, three on each side
Key locked access hatches at both the front and rear of each compartment
Walkable center aisle for ongoing supervision
Ability to address issues or access specific inmates quickly
Interior layout designed to separate individuals and minimize conflict
This configuration allows officers to isolate inmates, maintain clear visibility, and quickly respond to any situation while maintaining total control of the transport environment and reinforced Construction for Long‑Term Durability.
Every component was built using correctional grade materials:
Heavy gauge steel framing
Expanded steel sheet metal for airflow and security
Plexiglass visibility panels to ensure clear sightlines
These materials withstand high-impact behavior, enhance visibility, and maintain structural integrity over years of daily use.
Dual Security Door System for Maximum Containment
Behind the primary sliding security door, we added a second locking security door to fully contain the inmate area. This secondary barrier allows officers to access:
The full rear section
Individual compartments
Maintenance and storage areas
…all without ever compromising the safety of the driver.
