Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 22

A. Upon proper motion to the court to modify a community

sentence as provided in Section 988.19 of this title, the court

shall have authority to impose disciplinary sanctions or incentives.

An order for a disciplinary sanction shall not modify the terms of

the original sentence and shall be imposed only to gain compliance

with the terms of the court-ordered community punishment. The court

may order any community punishment available and funded in the

jurisdiction that is deemed appropriate by the court for the

circumstance including but not limited to a term of imprisonment

specified in Section 991b of this title per motion for modification

in either:

1. The county jail;

2. A residential treatment facility;

3. A restrictive housing facility; or

4. A halfway house.

When the offender is to be confined, the sheriff shall, upon order

of the court, deliver the offender to the designated place of

confinement, provided the place of confinement has an agreement for

confinement services with the local community sentencing system or

is the county jail. The sheriff shall be reimbursed by the local

community sentencing system for transporting offenders pursuant to

this subsection. The offender shall be given day-for-day credit for

any terms of incarceration served in the county jail or other

restrictive facility when the sentence is modified.

B. The court may, through a standing court order, provide for

specific sanctions and incentives which may be utilized by the local

administrator upon notification to the court.

C. When a motion for modification has been filed pursuant to

Section 988.19 of this title, the court shall have authority to

offer incentives to offenders to encourage proper conduct in the

community and for compliance with the community punishments. The

court shall use its discretion in ordering appropriate incentives.

Incentives shall be considered a reduction and modification to the

community punishment and may be ordered after the motion to modify

has been heard.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the driving

privileges of the offender have been suspended, revoked, canceled,

or denied by Service Oklahoma for any reason other than a conviction

for reckless driving or driving under the influence pursuant to

Section 11-901, 11-902, or 11.906.4 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma

Statutes, and if the court determines that no other means of

transportation for the offender participating in the community

sentencing program is available, the court may enter a written order

requiring Service Oklahoma to stay any and all such actions against

the Class D driving privileges of the offender. Such stay shall not

be construed to grant driving privileges to an offender who has not

been issued a driver license by Service Oklahoma or whose Oklahoma

driver license has expired, in which case the offender shall be

required to apply for and be found eligible for a driver license,

pass all examinations, if applicable, and pay all statutory driver

license issuance or renewal fees. The offender shall provide proof

of insurance to the court prior to an order for a stay of any driver

license suspension, revocation, cancellation, or denial. When a

court enters a stay against an order by Service Oklahoma suspending

or revoking the driving privileges of an offender who is

participating in the community sentencing program, the time period

set in the order by Service Oklahoma for the suspension or

revocation shall continue to run during the stay. When an offender

has successfully completed the community sentencing program, the

court shall determine if he or she will maintain jurisdiction over

the offender’s driving privileges for one (1) year after the date on

which the offender graduates from the program.

E. When any offender is disciplined by the court as authorized

he suspension or

revocation shall continue to run during the stay. When an offender

has successfully completed the community sentencing program, the

court shall determine if he or she will maintain jurisdiction over

the offender’s driving privileges for one (1) year after the date on

which the offender graduates from the program.

E. When any offender is disciplined by the court as authorized

by this section and is to be imprisoned in the county jail or other

restrictive facility, the sheriff or facility administrator shall

receive compensation as provided by their agreement with the local

community sentencing system, or the sheriff or facility

administrator shall be paid directly for the services by the

offender when ordered to pay for the confinement as part of the

disciplinary sanction. In no event shall any compensation for

disciplinary confinement exceed the maximum amount provided for

county jail confinement in Section 38.1 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma

Statutes.

F. The Department of Corrections is prohibited from accepting

offenders into any state penitentiary for disciplinary sanctions.
