I have a family member/friend who is scheduled to be released from prison. They were convicted in federal court in another district or state but want to reside in the Eastern District of Tenessee. How can his/her case be transferred?
The offender must request the transfer of jurisdiction through his/her Bureau of Prisons Case Manager. When the request is made by the case manager, the U.S. Probation Office will conduct an investigation to determine whether the offender may transfer and report its findings to the Bureau of Prisons. The transfer of jurisdiction may only occur with approval from the district that would receive and supervise the offender.
