submitted 26 years ago by Pub. L. 106-560 to r/title-34-CRIME-CONTROL-AND-LAW-ENFORCEMENT · 147 words · no verdicts yet
This section defines three terms for the prisoner-transport law. Crime of violence means the same as in section 924(c)(3) of title 18. A violent prisoner is someone in state custody convicted or charged with that kind of crime.
In sections 60101 through 60104 of this title, three terms have specific meanings:
(1) "Crime of violence" means the same thing it means in section 924(c)(3) of title 18.
(2) "Private prisoner transport company" means any entity — other than the United States, a state, or a state's lesser political subdivision — that is in the business of transporting, for pay, people held in the custody of a state or its lesser political subdivisions, or attempting to do so.
(3) "Violent prisoner" means anyone in the custody of a state or its lesser political subdivision who has previously been convicted of, or is currently charged with, a crime of violence (or a similar state or local statute), or an attempt at one.
In sections 60101 to 60104 of this title:
The term “crime of violence” has the same meaning as in section 924(c)(3) of title 18.
The term “private prisoner transport company” means any entity, other than the United States, a State, or an inferior political subdivision of a State, which engages in the business of the transporting for compensation, individuals committed to the custody of any State or of an inferior political subdivision of a State, or any attempt thereof.
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.
