There are several factors that go into the decision as to where a convicted criminal will serve out his/her sentence. The severity of the crime, whether it violates state and/or Federal Laws, prison security, space available inside individual prisons, the state where the crimes took place, ect. In Dahmer's case he was found guilty of capital murder (premeditation) in the state of Wisconsin. I believe the death penalty is not available in the state of Wisconsin so that made Dahmer a candidate for life with no parole. This sentence demands a high security prison. So he was sent to Columbia for his natural life under strict supervision with like offenders which had space available.
