Place of confinement.

1. If a judge of the district court imposes a term of imprisonment to a state correctional

facility upon conviction of a felony or a class A misdemeanor, the judge may not

designate a state correctional facility in which the offender is to be confined but shall

commit the offender to the legal and physical custody of the department of corrections

and rehabilitation.

2. After assuming custody of the convicted person, the department of corrections and

rehabilitation may transfer the inmate from one correctional facility to another for the

purposes of safety, security, discipline, medical care, or if the department determines it

is in the best interest of the public, the inmate, or the department.
