In a single flight, how many maximum custody prisoners may be moved as passengers?

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 3
• D. 5

Answer: (B)

Safety and control during prisoner transport are the primary factors here. When a maximum custody prisoner is moved as a passenger on a single flight, only one may be allowed to ensure continuous, direct supervision by an escort and to keep the custody level secure in the confined space of the cabin. Having more than one would require additional escorts and seating that aren’t typically feasible on a standard flight, increasing risk and complicating security.

So the best choice reflects that one maximum custody prisoner can be moved as a passenger on a single flight. Zero would unduly restrict transport, while three or five would exceed the practical escort and space limits for a standard flight.
