Oklahoma Statutes - Title 10A. Children and Juvenile Code Page 365

A. After consideration of the evidence and argument presented,

the court shall impose a sentence. The court may sentence the

youthful offender to the same range of punishment, except for

capital offenses, as an adult who was convicted of the same offense

or offenses. Any sentence imposed upon a youthful offender may be

served in the supervision or custody of the Office of Juvenile

Affairs until one of the following occurs:

1. The expiration of the sentence;

2. The youthful offender is discharged from supervision or

custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs by the court; or

3. The court transfers the youthful offender to the custody or

supervision of the Department of Corrections.

In addition to the placement of the youthful offender in the

supervision or custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs, the court

may issue orders regarding the youthful offender as provided by law

for the disposition of an adjudicated juvenile delinquent as long as

the age of the youthful offender does not exceed nineteen (19) years

of age.

B. A youthful offender adjudication is not an adult conviction,

nor shall any youthful offender adjudication prevent the youthful

offender from exercising any right or privilege under law.

C. The sentence imposed by the court on a youthful offender who

is transferred to the custody or supervision of the Department of

Corrections shall not exceed the maximum term of the original

sentence.

D. Upon adjudicating a youthful offender, the court shall file

a Judgment of Adjudication as a Youthful Offender. The Judgment of

Adjudication shall reflect the date of adjudication, the adjudicated

crimes, and the youthful offender sentence imposed.

E. Whenever a youthful offender is placed in the custody or

under the supervision of the Office of Juvenile Affairs, the Office

of Juvenile Affairs shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving

notification of the placement, prepare and file with the court the

written rehabilitation plan for the youthful offender. The

rehabilitation plan shall ensure the protection of the public and

shall include but not be limited to:

1. The placement decision, such as community, group home,

secure care, or specialized placement;

2. The youthful offender's treatment and educational needs;

3. The measurable objectives required for the youthful

offender's successful completion of the rehabilitation plan;

4. The treatment objectives for the youthful offender's parent,

guardian, or next friend; and

5. If the youthful offender is placed in a group home, secure

care, or specialized placement, the preconditions for reintegration

into the community.
