What basis do they have for refusing a request?

There are no objective criteria for refusing a request, and there are no objective criteria for granting a request. They've just let it be entirely subjective, and let the DCR decide with any - or no - explanation why they made their decision. Presumably, the DCR considers questions like the likely safety of the convict, the likely safety of the other prisoners, the personal history of the convict, etc.
