ObjectivesThe aim of the article is to present the specifics of evacuation following an emergency event in the practice of the Prison Service.MethodsThe article was written based on the author’s experience while working in the prison service, as well as the document analysis.ResultsThe Prison Service is an elaborate organization, so its logistic service is a complex process. The primary task is the transportation of prisoners. The transportation process consists of executive activities, as well as organizational and service activities. It is essential that prisoners are transported in a way that prevents escaping from the transport and ensures the safety of all participants of the transport. Special vehicles of various configurations are used for this purpose. An additional process for the SW logistics is procurement, which requires the delivery of a range of goods and products.ConclusionsPenitentiary institutions need efficient logistical operations in order to carry out the tasks they were assigned. If the transportation system is not working properly, then the risk of not fulfilling the statutory requirements increases significantly. However, the risks are broader and may involve a greater likelihood of a successful assault on a convoy or a convict escaping from transport. In addition, low supply efficiency leads to material shortages and impedes the efficient operation of units. Thus, the Prison Service must ensure proper logistical processes without which it is impossible to achieve both the stability and efficiency of operations, as well as the safety of officers and inmates.
