PART 97--STANDARDS FOR PRIVATE ENTITIES PROVIDING PRISONER OR DETAINEE SERVICES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 97.14  Guard-to-prisoner ratio.

    Companies covered under this part must adhere to certain minimum 
standards with respect to the number of employees required to monitor 
violent prisoners during transportation. Private prisoner transport 
companies must ensure that at least one guard be on duty for every six 
violent prisoners transported. This requirement does not preclude a 
contracting entity from establishing more stringent guard-to-prisoner 
ratios.
