I work in Washington, DC. we dont have sheriffs here so all prisoners transports are done by the United States Marshall Serivce. So I know ALOT of US Marshall since everyone in DC goes to court to attend to court cases, and often converse or eat in the same places.
Only if the prisoner has been relased to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Once they have been, then and only then do the US Marshalls handle the person to and from court.
By the way, the Department of Corrections runs the MDC Jail and does all of the transporting of state prisoners during the court proceedings.
But again , federal prisoners are something entirely different. It is a completely seperate system than a normal civil jail. Since Vick is in on a federal case, then yes, the US Marshalls would handle transporting him to and from court and then later to it's federal institution where they would be held.
To say that the US Marshalls do all of the prisoner transports in DC is completely inacurate.
You are talking about a federal program involved in state criminal transports and responsibility. I can't find anything stating that the marshalls handle all of these criminals for the DC area.
