Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Interstate Compact

How do i use the interstate compact to get my fiance transfered from a VA prison to a TN prison? We have tried to ask the prison but we get the run around. He is not a violent offender and only has two yrs and 4 months left on his sentance. What do I need to do to make this happen? And who do we contact?
