Does it mean anything when an inmate is moved to different dorms?

It depends on the custody level of the inmate.

It depends on the custody level of the inmate. Movement does have "meaning" but it's not always a bad reason. In most cases, movement is nothing to be concerned about. Movement of bunk assignment is commonplace. Maybe 20% of the movement is for disciplinary reasons.
