My inmate is in solitary and has anxiety issues, is there anything we can do to get him transferred?

My fiancé isn't happy with the module he was placed in. He has been locked up a couple of times in the past. During those stints he was in a minimum security module that allowed him to be outside of a cell most of the day. This time however, he is in a lock-down module with only 30 minutes a day out of the cell. Is there anything I can do or say to get them to move him? He is claustrophobic and this is causing him a lot of anxiety and I'm afraid it could lead to violent behavior. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There is very little you can do about the housing situation of an inmate. The designation is decided and approved by the administration and they internally document their reasons for every decision. These decisions are not available to the public. Once an offender is the property of the state, there is nothing an outside influence can change. He may petition his case manager for a transfer but the status of SHU is not available for appeal. If he has been locked up a couple of times in the past he should use his experience to stop committing acts that send him back. They have him in lock-down for a reason and if violent outbursts are his nature, they will keep him there a lot longer than 30 days.
