It depends on the laws of the particular state. Does that state require back seat passengers be restrained and is there an exception for law enforcement transporting prisoners? It is certainly prudent to buckle in a prisoner as he/she has been stripped of the ability to protect themselves so the officer might be held personally responsible for civil damages in the event of an accident, regardless of who caused the accident.
