why would someone be put in solitary

Could be a bunch of reasons, but typically it revolves around breaking the rules. There are a zillion rules, but some of the most common rules that are broken are things like fighting, stealing or being caught with contraband (alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, cell phones, etc.) for example.

You can also be put into solitary not as a punishment for something you did, but temporarily until the prison staff completes an investigation to figure out what happened in a certain situation. For example if a prisoner was assaulted by another prisoner and the staff don't know exactly what happened, both parties will go to solitary until it's sorted out.

...but if the inmate in question is in solitary and they lost good time, in all likelihood the prison found them complicit with breaking some rule (you don't lose good time if you are solitary before an investigation is done to determine who broke the rules, like the above example of a fight).

what would cause release date to change

If release date was extended, it could be a loss of “good time”. If release is sooner it could be a change in sentence from court or could be something like completion of RDAP drug program.

What does In Transit mean? How often is this updated?

Normally it means they are being moved between facilities. Sometimes it’s a week or so before they get registered in the new location, sometimes longer. Really just depends on how long it take BOP to transport someone as well as update their systems.

In my case, “in transit” means i have my registration number, my intake date is 18 Jan; but the site lists me as “in transit” …. I am at home taking a bath:)!
