Do prisoners earn FF miles?
I live in SMF and frequently see prisoners being transported on UA in and out of SMF (Folsom Prison is 30 miles from the airport).

I assume prisoners fly on a contracted government rate, with the 2 LEOs who are escorting them.

Since the airlines take the position that the people who actually travel on the planes earn the miles -- not the company or governmental agency which pays for the ticket -- do prisoners earn FF miles?
