Which USMS form documents a prisoner's remand or custody receipt?

• A. USM-40 Prisoner Release Form
• B. USM-106 JPATS Request
• C. USM-41 Prisoner Remand/Custody Receipt
• D. USM-130 Custody Alert Notice Form

Answer: (C)

Recording the moment a prisoner enters custody is documented with a form that captures the custody transfer and the prisoner’s initial status. The form used for this purpose is the Prisoner Remand/Custody Receipt, known as USM-41. It records who is in custody, the receiving facility or agency, booking details, charges, and the signatures of officers involved, creating a clear, auditable chain of custody during transport or handoffs between agencies. Other forms serve different functions: a Prisoner Release Form handles releasing someone from custody; a JPATS Request form is for arranging transport via JPATS; and a Custody Alert Notice is used to notify others about custody status, not to document the custody receipt itself.
