Normally, the disclosure of the location and custody status of an inmate is not made ahead of time for security reasons. The determination is made at the administrative level and the outside world has no impact on these decisions. Even the sentencing judge can only make a recommendation as to where they house the offender, the final decision is up to the Department of Corrections or Bureau of Prisons
