Default move over and move

Hi,

I have a question about this sentence (We're moving you over to Statesville.) when I was watching TV show Prison Break. If I say: We're moving you to Statesville. Then is there a difference between them ("move over" and "move") in this context?

Thanks for your help.



Warden: Why do I get the feeling that there's more to you than meets the eye, Scofield? Anything you wanna tell me? Some other reason you're in here, besides holding up a bank You're being transferred.
Michael: What?
W: We're moving you over to Statesville.
M: You can't do that.
W: Yes, I can. I'm the boss here. This is my house.
M: Three weeks.
W: What for?
M: Lincoln Burrows, he's being executed in three weeks.
W: Well, I'm aware of that. What's that to you?
M: He's my brother. When I knew I was being sent to prison, my attorney petitioned the D.O.C.

There is not really any difference in meaning between the two.
