2C:47-4.1. Transfer out of Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center

6. a. The commissioner shall order the transfer out of the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center of any offender serving a life sentence without eligibility for parole and any offender not participating in or cooperating with the sex offender treatment provided in the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center and any offender who is determined by the Department of Corrections to be no longer amenable to sex offender treatment.

b.Any offender transferred out of the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center for failure to participate in or cooperate with the sex offender treatment provided there or because of a determination by the Department of Corrections that the offender is no longer amenable to sex offender treatment may, on a biennial basis, request to be transferred back to the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center.  Within 90 days after receiving a request for a transfer, the Department of Corrections shall conduct a psychological examination.  If, upon completion of a psychological examination, the Department of Corrections determines that the offender is amenable to sex offender treatment and is willing to participate in and cooperate with such treatment, the commissioner shall order the offender to be transferred back to the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center.

c.Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.30:4-140 or R.S.30:4-92 or any other law, a sentence imposed on an offender transferred pursuant to subsection a. of this section shall not be reduced by commutation time for good behavior or credits for diligent application to work and other institutional assignments for any year or fractional part of a year following the date of the transfer; provided, however, if the offender is at any time thereafter transferred back to the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center pursuant to subsection b. of this section, the sentence imposed on such offender shall be reduced by commutation time for good behavior and credits for diligent application to work and other institutional assignments for any year or fractional part of a year that such offender is incarcerated at the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center following the date of such transfer.
