The applicant, a dangerous offender serving an indeterminate sentence, sought a writ of habeas corpus after his request to be transferred from medium to minimum security was denied.
The court dismissed the application, finding that the refusal to lower an inmate's security classification does not constitute a deprivation of residual liberty.
In the alternative, the court held that the Assistant Commissioner's decision to maintain the medium security classification was reasonable given the applicant's high risk for violent recidivism and dangerous offender status.
