There are two reasons that I'm not even sure that transport costs would decline.First is that transport efficiency would likely deteriorate with many smaller prisons. As it stands now, the detainees are in one location, and they can arrange transportation to the various courthouses with some degree of efficiency. Once you have multiple prisons, they will either have to have more transport vehicles (each with their own driver and guard) or have vehicles making stops (which lengthens the trip times and introduces security challenges associated with each stop that the transport vehicle makes). Second, unless you have a predictable flow of arriving and departing detainees, having many scattered small prisons increases the likelihood that any particular prison will become over-crowded at any point in time. Which means that new detainees would be scattered into other prisons around the city that were not the intended location for that detainees courthouse. Meaning that they might potentially be even further away from their courthouse than if they were at Rikers. |
