Original Note:
The USNS Apalachicola is not a prison ship, it's a logistics ship. The civilian-crewed ship has the ability to haul 600 tons 1,200 nautical miles at speeds of up to 35 knots. The ships are designed to quickly move material and vehicles – like an M1A2 Abrams main battle tank. https://news.usni.org/2023/02/16/crew-optional-usns-apalachicola-delivers-to-the-navy-ships-unmanned-future-unclear https://www.nvr.navy.mil/SHIPDETAILS/SHIPSDETAIL_EPF_13.HTML
