WARSAW, Va. -- Michael Vick, serving a 23-month sentence on dogfighting charges, was on the move Monday within the federal prison system.

Vick was removed from the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Va. by U.S. Marshals for transfer to another facility.

Major Ted Hall, supervisor at Northern Neck, confirmed the news to WSB-TV Channel 2's Scott MacFarlane. Hall said the Marshals escorted Vick from the facility in a federal government van, after signing the necessary paperwork in Northern Neck’s booking facility.

The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback is at the federal prison camp in Leavenworth, Kan., said Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Michael Vick has been delivered to Leavenworth Prison at approximately 4:30 pm ET, escorted by Deputy U.S. Marshals. Earlier Monday he had been flown from the Richmond area to Kansas City by the Marshals Service’s Joint Prisoner and Alien Transportation System. He is now in the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

"Mr. Vick hopes to participate in programs offered at that facility, including the Bureau of Prisons drug treatment program," said Vick attorney Billy Martin in a statement.

Vick tested positive for marijuana in September while he was on supervised release following his guilty plea. The residential drug treatment programs at Bureau of Prisons institutions take place in units set apart from the general prison population, lasting at least 500 hours over a six to 12 months, according to Bureau of Prisons policy.

Upon successful completion of the program, nonviolent offenders may be granted up to one year of early release. Staff members review the inmates' records and behavior to determine if they are eligible for early release.

If Vick was granted early release, he could be ready to play in the 2009 football season, though he is currently suspended without pay by the NFL.

"Mr. Vick looks forward to being reunited with his family upon completion of his sentence," Martin said. "He is hopeful that following his release he will have the opportunity to resume his career as a professional football player."

Vick and three co-defendants raised pit bulls and trained them for fighting behind the property he owned in rural Surry County. Several dogs that did not perform well in test fights were executed.
