(b) No inmate shall be considered for transfer under an agreement authorized by this section unless expiration of the inmate's sentence is anticipated to occur within one (1) year after the transfer, or unless the inmate has been recommended for release on parole by the board of parole.
(c) No inmate shall be considered for transfer under an agreement authorized by this section unless the inmate is considered a nonviolent offender.
(d) The transfer of a department of correction inmate to physical custody in a local facility under this section does not operate to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction over the manner of the inmate's sentence service. An inmate transferred under this section will be removed from the program and returned to the physical custody of the department at the sole discretion of the department.
