Which statement correctly describes the Full Cage transport configuration?

• A. No cage transport places the inmate in the back seat behind a partition
• B. Half cage transport means the inmate is unbelted in the front seat
• C. Full cage transport means the inmate is restrained on the driver’s side
• D. Full cage = passenger side/ belted in/ restrained

Answer: (D)

Understanding how transport configurations work helps you picture security and control during inmate moves. In a full cage setup, the inmate is placed on the passenger side and is secured with restraints, enhanced by the cage/barrier that separates the inmate from the driver. This arrangement keeps the inmate contained and reduces the chance of contact with the driver while allowing the officer to monitor and maintain control from the driver’s position. The other descriptions don’t fit because placing the inmate on the driver’s side would defeat the purpose of the barrier and separation that a full cage provides. Describing no cage transport ignores the presence of the securing cage itself. And while half cage configurations involve different levels of separation, they don’t capture the specific passenger-side belted-in setup that defines full cage.
