So many Federal prisoners now they need their own airplane

And in yet another sign of how bloated our Federal government has become, the US Federal Marshalls service now needs its own airplane to transport Federal prisoners.

the US Federal Marshalls service now needs its own airplane to transport Federal prisoners.

FYI: the Marshalls have been using their own planes to move convicts since the 80s with a 727 I think. Had a friend who used to work on them. He had some interesting stories. I believe they also handle ICE flights also so maybe the illegals are complaining about waiting on the ramp too long for their flights?

They "contract" planes all the time. I see them frequently out in Midland.
