Where is the Jail File transferred to when an inmate is reassigned for housing?

When an inmate is reassigned for housing, the Jail File is transferred to the receiving jail facility. This transfer is essential for several reasons. First, it ensures that all pertinent information regarding the inmate's case, history, and current status is available to the staff at the new facility, promoting continuity of care and management.

Keeping accurate and comprehensive records is crucial in detention settings for maintaining security, ensuring the inmate's needs are met, and providing necessary updates on their legal status and any specific requirements they may have while in detention. Furthermore, it alleviates the risk of miscommunication or loss of essential information that could affect the inmate's treatment or case management.

The other options do not represent the correct transfer location for the Jail File, as it remains within the detention system during housing reassignment to ensure that all necessary personnel have immediate access to important documentation and information related to the inmate.
