Okla. Stat. tit. 43A, § 43A-3-702: Prisoners in need of mental health treatment –

Determination of ability to consent - Transfer to facility –

Discharge – Costs - Expiration of sentence - Commitment.

When a person confined in a penal or correctional institution or

reformatory of this state is evaluated as provided by law by a

licensed mental health professional to be a person requiring

treatment as defined in Section 1-103 of this title, the district

court may order the inmate’s transfer to a facility, or unit within

the Department of Corrections and make a determination of whether

the inmate is capable of consenting to or refusing treatment that is

ordered including, but not limited to, the right to refuse

medication, pursuant to the laws governing involuntary commitment,

where the inmate shall remain until the person in charge of the

correctional institution or unit, or the physician which received

the inmate determines that the inmate has improved to the point that

the inmate may be discharged pursuant to the laws of this title

governing discharge. If the sentence expires during the time of a

prisoner's involuntary commitment at the correctional institution,

and the prisoner is still a person requiring treatment, the person

in charge of the correctional institution shall immediately

instigate proceedings for commitment to the custody of the

Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services or to a

private facility willing to accept the person for treatment under

the procedures provided in this title.
