Imagine a sort of post-medieval civilisation. In the towns and cities, there are constables charged with keeping the peace and arresting criminals... yet, how can they balance these duties? If every time they take someone into custody they have to trek to the town gaol and back, criminals would be sure to take advantage of their absence. Yet building up a train of captives could see them outnumbered and with too much on their plates. It's especially an issue in larger towns where the gaol might be a fair walk away. So, any suggestions?
And secondarily - how would cases be "processed"? Making sure it's remembered which prisoner is which and that the suspect, witnesses, evidence and so on actually came together in a courtroom sooner or later?
