The Marshals Service assumes custody of individuals arrested by all federal agencies and is responsible
for the housing and transportation of prisoners from the time they are brought into federal custody until
they are either acquitted or incarcerated. The responsibility for the detention of prisoners is challenging in its diversity and complexity. Deputy marshals must resolve issues such as: arranging for the hospitalization and care of prisoners with terminal illnesses or contagious diseases; finding lodging for dependent children of prisoner and alien material witnesses; and deciding whether the Marshals Service will grant the transfer of prisoners to state authorities pursuant to state writs.
