secretary may transfer prisoners whose terms of imprisonment have
been fixed and parole violators to the facility.

to the secretary, participate in programs of the facility, including,
but not limited to, work furlough rehabilitation programs.

facility operated by a city, county, or city and county authorized by
this section.
