This usually takes about a week, depending on bed space and length of travel. The US Marshal Service transports the federal inmates in a very secretive manner so as not to alert anyone on the outside the travel arrangments so the safety of all. As soon as you find out where he lands, let us know because we can get you a local phone number which makes the calls to you at the lowest tariff (6 cents per minute).

We are very sorry to hear this news. Unfortunately, there are no parole provisions relating to a family member's health. There is however a way to get transferred closer to home. Your husband will need to petition their counselor and request a transfer. As long as there is bed space and the inmate has a clean disciplinary record.

There are no specific deadlines that they follow. When they come to transport an inmate from one jail to the next, it is on the timeline of the sheriff's convenience - and whatever court dates are scheduled. 

Probation Detention Centers are minimum security facilities for confining probation violators up to 6 months. Offenders may be sent directly to the center as a sentencing option or if they prove unable to fulfill their probation obligations in the community, may be sent to the detention center as a result of a revocation proceeding. Transfer requests are not normally granted because of the short-term commitment.

It sounds like he was sentenced and is waiting for a bed to come available. Once they have space they will come for him and note that he will get credit for every day he spends in the county jail.

If it is from county to state or to federal, there will be about a one-week delay before the phone accounts can be operational.

The system is saying they trust this person more than when they began their sentence. The inmate gets more freedom in the new setting, more privileges (and in prison, it means a lot). 

Broward is only a one county from Miami (Dade County). They are separate institutions so the transition will take a few days before phone and visitation privileges are restored.

The administrative transfer could mean a number of things. The first thing that comes to mind is the inmate has some issue with another inmate in that facility. It could be a co-defendant he cannot be placed in the same facility. But if this is happening often, it could be that he was a confidential informant. They get moved routinely to keep their whereabouts changing. The short-term stays (8 months at a time) make it seem like he is in protective
