    (a) Crime of violence. The term ``crime of violence'' has the same 
meaning as in section 924(c)(3) of title 18, United States Code. Section 
924(c)(3) states that the term crime of violence means an offense that 
is a felony and has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened

by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against 
the person or property of another may be used in the course of 
committing the offense.
    (b) Private prisoner transport company. The term ``private prisoner 
transport company'' (``company'') means any entity, other than the 
United States, a State, or an inferior political subdivision of a State, 
that engages in the business of transporting for compensation 
individuals committed to the custody of any State or of an inferior 
political subdivision of a State, or any attempt thereof.
    (c) Violent prisoner. The term ``violent prisoner'' means any 
individual in the custody of a State or an inferior political 
subdivision of a State who has previously been convicted of or is 
currently charged with a crime of violence or any similar statute of a 
State or the inferior political subdivisions of a State, or any attempt 
thereof.
