Can Federal Inmates Request a Transfer Closer to Home?

After my brother does his 18 months at the prison he was designated to can he transfer closer to home? He is going 600 miles from home and there is a low security in the state we live in..will he be able to transfer back closer to where we live?

Ask the inmate answer

Yes. The federal system accommodates transfer requests when an inmate has no disciplinary infractions. Programming well and maintaining a good relationship with the counselor and case manager significantly improves the chances of relocating to a closer facility or even a camp.
