Family proximity, therapy or treatment support a transfer application only when evidenced concretely. Another prison is not right because it seems more convenient, but because it better supports the purpose of enforcement.

This article is a practical Detailfrage to the existing transfer guide. It focuses on evidence: which documents show that transfer is legally and practically useful?

All paths at a glance

Overview of all answers.

01

Evidence family proximity

Family proximity is evidenced through concrete visit obstacles: travel time, costs, previous visits, care duties and reintegration value.
02

Document therapy need

Treatment need requires a concrete measure, suitable target prison and link to the enforcement plan under § 135 StVG.
03

Assess refusal

After refusal, each reason must be answered. Capacity, security or lack of benefit require different evidence.
04

Separate medical grounds

Medical transfer under § 71 StVG must be separated from transfer under § 10 StVG. Acute care and enforcement planning need different evidence.

Evidence work, not a second transfer overview

The existing transfer guide explains requirements and remedies. This article starts with the file: which facts show that family contact, treatment or the enforcement plan justify this target prison?

The key is a verifiable link between reason and evidence. Visit records, target offer, enforcement plan and refusal reasons therefore need to be ordered separately.

Which evidence belongs in the transfer file

For family proximity, visit dates, travel time, costs and care duties matter. For treatment, records, concrete measure and target prison matter. For enforcement planning, the point is whether the next step is reflected in the plan under § 135 StVG.

Not every document helps every argument. A medical record does not replace a visit log, and a family statement does not replace a concrete treatment option.

Keeping application, improvement and complaint separate

After a refusal, the reasons should first be read in a table. A legal error points more towards complaint; missing or new evidence points more towards a sharpened application.

This distinction prevents the article from repeating the core guide. It shows the practical workflow for the next filing.

Practical overview

Evidence for transfer application

The overview shows which evidence supports which point.

Transfer evidence file
Point Suitable evidence Purpose
Family contact Family contact Visit records, travel time, childcare Make reintegration concrete
Treatment Treatment Report, measure, target prison Make need verifiable
Enforcement plan Enforcement plan Plan and update request Show transfer as next step
Refusal Refusal Decision and counter-evidence Prepare targeted improvement

Scope: This article is a practical Detailfrage. It does not repeat the core guide but orders documents and next steps for the concrete situation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Must a complaint be filed immediately? +

Not always. First check whether a legal error, a new fact or missing evidence is central.

Which documents matter most? +

Decision, date, reasoning, concrete evidence and a short chronology. They should answer the disputed point directly.

Why not submit everything together? +

Because complaint, new application and urgent reaction have different functions. Clean separation makes the strongest point clearer.
