United States Eighth Circuit

In consolidated habeas cases wherein prisoners alleged that the Bureau of Prisons unlawfully declared them ineligible for placement at a Residential Re-entry Center, denial of the habeas petitions is affirmed over petitioners' claim that a transfer policy, as applied to them, conflicted with 18 U.S.C. section 3621 and relevant case law because the policy automatically excludes all inmates not serving the last 11-13 months of their prison sentence.
