Answer 5

Nearly all prison escorts within the UK are carried out by privately contracted companies. All staff employed by those companies will have had to have been security cleared.

Otherwise, the companies have their own uniform and standards of dress and appearance. In the end you get what you pay for.

Answer 6

Some government agencies hire private companies to transfer prisoners.  Not as strict hiring guidelines for those private companies, but have always had them do a good job.
