(2) concerns related to victim safety during the committed individual's term of imprisonment; or

Subd. 4.Transition and release plan.
For an incarcerated person with less than 365 days remaining until the person's supervised release date, the commissioner, in consultation with the incarcerated person, must develop a transition and release plan.
