(1) OJOR may transfer youth from A&E to a type 1 or type 2 secured correctional facility and between type 1 and type 2 secured correctional facilities at any time during DJC supervision of a youth. The decision to transfer a youth may be based on, but is not limited to, any of the following considerations:

(a) Public safety.

(b) The youth's committing offense.

(c) Assessment of the youth's needs.

(d) Assessment of the potential for future delinquent or criminal activity.

OJOR may recommend to the administrator the transfer of a youth with an extended court jurisdiction disposition under s. 48.366, Stats., from an institution to an adult institution. The factors to be considered include the following:

(a) The extent to which the youth's conduct in an institution is violent and disruptive.

(b) The security needs of the institution.

(c) The extent to which the youth is refusing to participate in the treatment programs provided for the youth in the institution.
