§ 706. Transfer to federal correctional facility
(a) The Commissioner may enter into and execute a contract or contracts with the United
States for the transfer of any inmate from any facility to a federal correctional
facility when, in his or her opinion, the inmate needs particular treatment or special
facilities available at the federal correctional facility; or, all in-state treatment
and rehabilitative programs available for the inmate have been considered and found
unsuitable; or, all in-state security and custody alternatives for the inmate have
been considered and found unsuitable; or, the inmate voluntarily requests transfer.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an inmate transferred to a federal correctional
facility shall, unless otherwise agreed in a contract or contracts, be subject to
the same law, rules, regulations, and procedures applicable to inmates committed for
violations of laws of the United States, not inconsistent with the sentence imposed.
Such laws, rules, regulations, and procedures applicable to Vermont prisoners confined
outside Vermont may include matters of discipline, classification, segregation, visiting,
mail, clothing or dress, use of telephones, personal property, employment, work release,
furlough, and transfer. (Added 1971, No. 199 (Adj. Sess.), § 20; amended 1975, No. 21, § 1, eff. March 31, 1975.)
