Right to Refuse Treatment <br />Pursuant to SOP 401.06.03.071, Right to Refuse Treatment, an offender has the right to <br />refuse treatment, including medications. The involuntary medication of an offender may only <br />take place under the circumstances and procedures described herein this SOP. <br />2. Informed Consent <br />Prior to any involuntary administration of medication to an offender, an attempt must be <br />made to obtain the offender’s informed consent (see SOP 401.06.03.070, Informed <br />Consent). If the offender provides informed consent, treatment will be provided and staff <br />shall no longer be required to follow the guidance provided herein this SOP. <br />3. Recording the Administration of Involuntary Medication <br />The administration of involuntary medication shall be recorded with a video recorder. A copy <br />of the recording will be retained in the offender’s healthcare record. <br />4. Use of Force <br />If the administration of involuntary medication is ordered and the use of force is required, <br />only the amount of force necessary to administer the medication shall be used. <br />Note: The use of force must be preceded by an attempt to use a less restrictive means to <br />administer the medication. When the use of force is required, it shall be in accordance with <br />SOP 307.02.01.001, Use of Force: Prisons and Reentry Centers (CRCs). <br />5. Offender’s Right to Seek Relief <br />Nothing in this SOP shall be construed as limiting or expanding an offender’s rights to seek <br />relief. <br />Note: Offenders shall not use the grievance process described in SOP 316.02.01.001, <br />Grievance and Informal Resolution Procedure for Offenders, to seek relief. Instead, <br />offenders may seek relief through the courts.
