    There is really nothing you can do.

    He can request a transfer, and include a copy of the judges order. But the BOP (Bureau of Prison) is not obligated to follow, judges orders on prisons are suggestions, not requirements.

    The prisons have a classification system of inmates, by race, gang membership, age, type of crime and security level. Most housing and institutional moves are based on those and the needs of the institution.

    He can expect, depending on his time in prison, to perhaps be at 2 or 3 prisons, as his security levels change and/or if there is any trouble at an institution.

    At this point, he can see his security counselor, and request a transfer.
