OPINION

MANNHEIMER, Judge.

In two of these three consolidated appeals, the district court granted prisoners' requests for a short-term release from prison so that they could attend to personal business. In the third appeal, the district court not only granted a prisoner two short releases from custody, but later ordered that the prisoner be released from custody so that she could spend the remainder of her sentence in a treatment facility.
