Here is a HM Prison Service VW Crafter. It carries a wide orange stripe down the sides and has black and white checker markings across the front. It is fitted with blue flashing lights for transporting high-risk prisoners and a substantial front bull-bar. See how the livery has evolved from the much older S-registration Mercedes Sprinter lower down this page.
