Once again, my colleagues might be in a better position to answer that question.
It's my understanding that there are different authorities when it comes to different kinds of transfers. If it's a transfer within a region from a medium-security institution to a minimum-security institution, for example, it's the warden's delegated authority to make the decision on that. If they're going outside of the region, it's a different delegated authority. If it's somebody who has a dangerous offender label, it would be a different authority, then, as well.
What we've seen is that after the case management team, which would include the parole officer, comes up with the decision to transfer to a lower security, even though that might not fall within the custody rating scale, it would be the warden's authority to do so. They do that.
As I said, the words that are floated around are “manageable risk”.
