Sounds like he's going to make it a quick trip to keep the prisoner from worrying too long about something (his crime, the upcoming punishment, death, etc).  A longer trip would give the prisoner more time to worry over whatever's bothering him, while a shorter one wouldn't give him that luxury.

I've heard it used to refer to someone sitting and allowing something to "sink in."  For example, if I'd just given someone some news that they didn't want to hear, I'd let them have some time to sit and marinate for awhile before pursuing the issue.

To "mince" was to cut up, chop up, etc.  So the saying means, don't cut your words short.  Say what you mean, fully.

Back off.\nIt is usually said by someone who feels that they need room or feel like they are being pressured into getting closer than they feel comfortable being.\nIf someone says this to you, they usually want more time before the relationship goes any further.  You might need to lighten up.  Fewer questions, maybe even less talk.
