(1)
Upon completion of the reception process, each inmate will be assigned and
transferred to the institution or facility approved by Classification that is
most likely to facilitate the inmate's institutional progress. An inmate may
subsequently be transferred from one institution to another to serve the
Department's mission as it relates to the classification and management of the
state prison population and to best serve the needs of the inmate.
(2) An inmate participating in an academic,
vocational, substance abuse, or betterment program will not be transferred to
another institution prior to completion of the program unless the program is
available at the receiving institution, or for purposes of population
management or security and safety concerns specifically set forth in
writing.
(3) An inmate who meets
specified criteria may request a good adjustment transfer from his or her
current institution or facility to certain other institutions or facilities in
another part of the state. An inmate may request a transfer by completing Form
DC6-187, Inmate Request for Good Adjustment Transfer, which is hereby
incorporated by reference. Copies of this form are available from the Forms

The effective date of this form is 08/21. The criteria for a good adjustment
transfer are set forth in Form DC6-187. The criteria set forth in Form DC6-187
must be met by an inmate at the time he or she requests a transfer and must
continue to be met until the transfer occurs. The Department does not guarantee
that an inmate will be transferred to one of his or her preferred locations as
requested on Form DC6-187. In the event the Department does not transfer the
inmate to one of his or her preferred locations, the inmate will be transferred
to another institution or facility in the geographical location near one of the
preferred locations based on the Department's interest in population
management, security, and safety, and the inmate's needs.
