The objective of inmate transfers is to maintain balanced populations at all facilities, accommodate incoming inmates, and ensure compliance with Federal Court mandates and all other directives.
The Inmate Reception Center Classification Unit has the overall responsibility for inmate transfers between facilities within the Custody Division. However, this responsibility shall not preclude watch commanders from directing the transfer of individual inmates for routine activity such as reclassification, special program housing, etc. Any deviation from normal inmate transfers shall be authorized by the Inmate Reception Center watch commander.
