(1) When institution staff becomes aware an inmate's current placement may no longer meet his/her custodial or program needs or is contrary to existing policy, the inmate shall be considered for transfer to another Department of Corrections facility.

(2) Institution staff shall provide information to the Office of Population Management and Transport via the CIS using the 1206 transfer request screen. This information includes the inmate's current classification and/or WHALE, needs assessments, special case considerations, and medical status.

(a) The 1206 transfer request will be reviewed and approved or denied by the Office of Population Management.

(b) If a routine transfer needs to be completed that day and the Office of Population Management staff is unavailable, the Transfer Coordinator may approve the 1206 transfer request. The Transfer Coordinator may deny a 1206 transfer request at the time of the move if the circumstances have changed (i.e. medical restrictions, custody level change, security concerns, etc.).

(3) When transfers are necessary to meet the population management needs of the department, the Office of Population Management will make requests of institution staff to identify appropriate inmates for transfer.

(4) Transport will provide notice to both the sending and receiving facilities of inmates being transported on the following business day, except in emergency cases, or for security reasons.

(5) The sending facility shall ensure the information (e.g., classification, medical, and designators) provided to the Office of Population Management and Transport is accurate before the actual transfer.

(6) The sending facility will ensure all inmates transferred to another facility are transferred with the following: institution file, medical file (including any prescribed medicine), inmate property, and inmate ID card.
