Prisoner & Corrections Transport Software
Prisoner transport demands precision, security, and accountability. Strict court schedules, complete chain of custody records, and controlled access to sensitive information. Waybill provides the structure corrections transport operators need.
Strict Time Window Scheduling
Court appearances, facility transfers, and medical appointments have non-negotiable time windows. Late arrival isn't just inconvenient — it can affect legal proceedings and custody schedules.
- Fixed time scheduling — Set exact pickup and arrival times. Mark jobs as time-critical so they're prioritised in dispatch and fleet optimisation.
- Configurable buffers — Set per-job-type time window buffers for pickup and dropoff. Prisoner transport can have tighter windows than general passenger transport.
- ETA monitoring — The Dispatch Copilot flags ETA risks when a driver's estimated travel time exceeds the time available, giving dispatchers time to reassign.
- Automated alerts — Workflow rules can trigger notifications when a transport job is running behind schedule, alerting facilities and receiving parties.
Audit Trail & Chain of Custody
Every prisoner transport must be fully documented. Waybill creates an automatic, timestamped record of every action — from job creation to completion — providing the chain of custody documentation corrections services require.
- Complete job history — Every status change is recorded: created, assigned, pickup confirmed, in transit, delivered. Each entry includes who, what, and when.
- Unique job references — Each transport gets an 8-digit reference number for cross-referencing with corrections records, court systems, and incident reports.
- Driver and vehicle records — Permanent record of which driver and vehicle were assigned, with licence and registration details on file.
- System-wide audit log — Beyond job history, a global audit log tracks every modification across the entire system — who changed what and when.
Role-Based Security Controls
Prisoner transport information is sensitive. Waybill's granular permission system ensures team members only see what they need — dispatchers see schedules, drivers see their assigned jobs, and administrators have full oversight.
- 40+ permissions — Control access to jobs, drivers, vehicles, passengers, and every other resource with fine-grained permission settings.
- Custom roles — Create roles that match your security clearance levels. Transport officers, dispatchers, and administrators each get appropriate access.
- Driver portal isolation — Drivers see only their own assigned transports. They cannot access other drivers' jobs, passenger records, or system settings.
- Organisation scoping — All data is isolated to your organisation. Cross-organisation access returns 404, not 403 — sensitive data is invisible, not forbidden.
Driver Fatigue Compliance
Long-distance prisoner transfers demand strict fatigue management. Waybill tracks driver hours in real time and warns dispatchers when drivers are approaching their daily limits — essential for Chain of Responsibility compliance.
- Real-time hours tracking — Driver hours are calculated automatically from completed jobs. No manual timesheets needed.
- Three-tier warnings — OK, Warning, and Limit Reached status levels with colour-coded indicators on the dispatch board.
- Break detection — Automatic detection of rest breaks between transports. Minimum break duration is configurable per organisation.
- Fatigue audit logs — Every warning, limit event, and break is logged with timestamps for HVNL compliance documentation.
