Transfers
BOP Transfers and re-designations are a complex process. Many clients want to be transferred closer to home. Obtaining a transfer is often arduous and requires the expertise of recently retired Bureau of Prisons staff who know the process and required steps.

Methods of Transfer
There are several methods of transfer. Even at initial designation, the self-surrender institution can be changed with a strategically written motion. There are other techniques that can be employed mid-sentence. Even a disciplinary transfer can work in the inmate’s favor in some cases.  An inmate’s chances for transfer can sometimes be greatly reduced by mistakes.  Attorneys, inmates, and family members sometimes make these mistakes that greatly reduce one’s chances for transfer.

Requirements for Transfer
Inmates may be considered for a nearer release transfer (moves the inmate closer to their legal residence or release destination) only after serving 18 consecutive months of clear conduct in a general population.
Essentially these transfers are based on a change in circumstances from the inmate’s original designation and proceed in the same manner as the original designation process.
We have successfully assisted our clients to receive transfers to institutions close to home or those with the necessary programming desired.
