Detention and treatment of offender in mental health crisis.

When a psychiatrist and one other person professionally qualified in the field of psychiatric mental health determines that an offender confined in an institution of the Department of Corrections is a person in a mental health crisis, the Director of the Department of Corrections shall apply to the Administrator for the offender’s detention and treatment at a division facility selected by the Administrator. If the Administrator determines that adequate security or treatment is not available in a division facility, the Administrator shall provide, within the resources available to the Division and as the Administrator deems necessary, consultation and other appropriate services for the offender at the place where the offender is confined. It is the Director’s decision whether to accept such services.
