The Warden shall have the responsibility and the authority for
the transportation of any prisoner legally committed to the Worcester
County Jail from the time of the lawful commitment until discharged,
released or withdrawn from the jail pursuant to legal authority. This
shall include the transportation to and from court, medical facilities,
rehabilitation programs and other institutions but shall specifically
exclude transportation of prisoners for those purposes as stated in
§ PS 5-202 herein. The Sheriff shall assist the Warden in
fulfilling transportation responsibilities as necessary.
The Warden may release prisoners into the custody of the Commissioner
of Corrections or any federal, state, county or municipal law enforcement
agency where such transfer of custody may be necessary for such prisoner
to attend court, be confined temporarily in another jurisdiction,
receive medical services or attend rehabilitation programs.
