     241.07 Transfer of inmates to other state institutions. 


    The commissioner of corrections may transfer an inmate of 
 any state correctional facility to a state institution under the 
 control of the commissioner of human services or to a private 
 medical facility for diagnosis, treatment, or care which is not 
 available at any state correctional facility and shall cause a 
 proper record to be made at the institutions or facility to 
 which a transfer has been made and at the commissioner's 
 office.  No transfer shall be made by the commissioner of 
 corrections without the approval of the commissioner of human 
 services or the chief executive officer of the private 
 facility.  An inmate of any state correctional facility so 
 transferred shall be returned to the correctional facility from 
 which transferred by order of the commissioner of corrections 
 upon conclusion of treatment, or, if the inmate becomes eligible 
 for release from custody pursuant to the terms of the sentence 
 prior to conclusion of treatment, the inmate shall be released 
 unless, before conclusion of treatment, the inmate has been 
 committed to a medical institution by competent authority as 
 provided by law.  The superintendent of any state institution or 
 the chief executive officer of any private facility shall at 
 once notify the commissioner of corrections if there is any 
 question as to the propriety of the commitment or detention of 
 any inmate admitted to their institution or facility and the 
 commissioner shall immediately take action on the question.
