Okla. Stat. tit. 57, § 57-224: Service or maintenance work for other state, county,

municipality or federal agency.

A. An inmate of a state correctional institution may be

assigned to a state agency other than the Department of Corrections,

to a county or municipal jail, or to a federal agency, for service

and maintenance work for the federal agency, the state, county or

municipality. Such transfer shall be subject to the approval of the

chief administrative officer of the federal or state agency, sheriff

of the county or the chief of police of a municipality, which will

employ the inmate. Preference shall be given to inmates who, while

incarcerated in a state correctional institution, have attained a

high school diploma or equivalent general education diploma or

completed a literacy program approved by the Department of

Corrections. Such federal or state agency, county or municipality,

shall be responsible for the security, lodging, food costs, and

personal expense money of each inmate under the care of the chief

administrative officer of the federal or state agency, county

sheriff or the chief of police of such municipality. Any expense

monies shall be approved by the chief administrative officer,

sheriff or the chief of police.

B. The Department of Corrections shall reimburse the state,

county or municipality for the actual costs paid for any emergency

medical care for physical injury or illness of the inmate retained

under this act. The Director may transfer any inmate required to

have extended medical care back into the custody of the Department.
