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 Arkansas. How can his/her case be transferred?
The offender must request transfer of jurisdiction through his/her Bureau of Prisons Case Manager. When the case manager makes the request, the U.S. Probation Office will conduct an investigation 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.
