Despite procedural breaches (failure to give statutory notice of transfer and delayed written reasons, and delayed reasons for directed segregation), the transfer to Spring Hill, the security reclassification, management/support plans, directed segregation and the Visiting Justice's determinations on disciplinary charges were lawful and reasonable exercises of discretion; procedural lapses did not invalidate the substantive decisions and no remedial declarations were warranted because defects were spent and had no continuing consequence.
