Not that those things haven't happened, but this sounds overly cynical to me. Yeah, the bad part is that the system tends to be dirty, and sometimes does very dirty things to people who don't have the money or influence to fight it. On the other hand, if you have money for lawyers, or any influence with the media or politicians, then dirty tricks like that tend not to fly.

You'd have to ask a lawyer, probably one who practices federal criminal law, how such a thing would actually work, but I'm going to guess that if your problem is that the BOP keeps transferring you endlessly, then a lawyer could make a case for filing some kind of suit in almost any jurisdiction, and so you can take your pick of judges and courts.

Overly cynical is how the world works.
