expedite transport even if it means leaving the prisoner unrestrained.
Rationale: the regulation directs officers to use good judgment and balance security with the treatment staff’s wishes and the inmate’s medical needs. In a genuine medical emergency, timely care takes priority; officers should minimize delays, follow treatment staff recommendations, take reasonable safety precautions, notify supervisors, and document the decision.
