Upon receipt of such a request the Warden/Superintendent shall attach his recommendations thereto and forward the request to the Administrator of the Interstate Corrections Compact for the Department of Corrections.(3) Upon receipt of an inmate's request and the Warden's/Superintendent's recommendation for transfer of an inmate to an institution in a member state, the Administrator, Interstate Corrections Compact, will place the inmate's name on a list of those to be considered for such transfer.(4) If the state to which the inmate requests transfer is not signatory to the Interstate Corrections Compact or if, for any other reason, the inmate is found to be ineligible or the request is denied, the State Board of Corrections will so notify the Warden/Superintendent who shall subsequently inform the inmate.(5) A limited number of transfers to Federal Correctional Institutions can be achieved by special agreement when an inmate requires unusual custody, care, treatment, training or rehabilitation and such is not available in the Georgia Correctional System.
