| 03-31704 | Administrative Safeguards for Psychiatric Treatment and Medication | Proposed Rule | In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its regulations on Psychiatric Treatment and Medication. We make several minor word changes to conform more closely with the language of 18 U.S.C. 4241-4247 on psychiatric hospitalization. We remove from the rule two elements of the standard for determining whether treatment or psychotropic medication is necessary because this element is inconsistent with community standards and case law. We also change the rules to conform with statutory authority regarding military prisoners and District of Columbia (DC) Code violators in Bureau custody. Previously, our procedures for involuntary psychiatric treatment and medication did not apply to military prisoners or DC Code violators. Under new statutory authority, military prisoners who are incompetent to stand trial, or who have been found not guilty by reason of lack of mental responsibility may now be committed to the Bureau's custody. Sentenced DC Code offenders may now be involuntarily committed to a Bureau psychiatric hospital. Such military prisoners and DC Code violators are subject to our regulations. We revise the applicability statement accordingly. | 2003-12-29 | 2003 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/12/29/03-31704/administrative-safeguards-for-psychiatric-treatment-and-medication | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-12-29/pdf/03-31704.pdf | Justice Department; Prisons Bureau | 268,437 | In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its regulations on Psychiatric Treatment and Medication.
