It is worth noting that the total count of individuals moved by special transport vehicles exceeds one million but this number includes the same individuals who in the course of the year were transported several times and by different transport vehicles. Therefore, delivery of one person from a remand prison to court and back counts as two, and throughout the year the court may sit in such person’s case for a number of times. In view of these aspects it was counted that in the course of the reporting year the above mentioned special transport means were used to move – 178, 459 persons taken into pre-trial custody and convicted – by 29 ST rail carriages;
