Yes, and they generally are. States have only so many prison facilities. Movement of prisoners is matter of available space and security. Most states have level systems established within their DOC. A level one prison is usually a minimum security prison, and most inmates are housed at this level. Levels can go as high as five (maximum security) or six (supermax). The level of the facility usually determines the priviledges and freedom of movement afforded to the inmates at that level. Inmates serving longer sentences are usually sent to higher level facilites. There being fewer of these and security being a major issue, these facilities are usually located in more remote locations. All of these matters and others not mentioned determine to what facility an inmate may be assigned. The location of the inmate's family is usually not considered in the decision, or if it is, the family's location is a minor factor in the decision making process.

Inmates in many prison systems may be required to participate in labor programs, such as laundry, cooking, or maintenance work, as part of their rehabilitation or to contribute to the operation of the facility.

Yes. Interstate compact agreements can allow a state prisoner in one state to be housed in a state prison in another state.

The hands-off doctrine was a dominated thinking about correctional law in America during the 19th century. American courts regarded inmates as "slaves of the state." Judges believed prisoners had no rights because they had forfeited them as a result of their crimes, and judges didn't interfere with the administration of correctional institutions because they didn't want to violate the principle of separation of power (in other words, the courts didn't want to interfere with the authority of the executive branch to administer prisons).

In some cases, inmates may be eligible for a temporary release known as furlough or parole, depending on the circumstances and policies of the correctional facility.

Individuals who are imprisoned for their political beliefs, actions, or affiliations typically consider themselves political prisoners.
