1. A. Any person having been imprisoned in a county or city jail or detained in a juvenile detention facility awaiting charges on a felony offense or prisoner awaiting trial or having been sentenced on a felony charge to the custody of the Department of Corrections who escapes from a juvenile detention facility while actually confined therein or escapes from a county or city jail, either while actually confined therein, while permitted to be at large as a trusty, or while awaiting transportation to a Department of Corrections facility for execution of sentence, shall be guilty of a felony.
2. B. Any person who is an inmate in the custody of the Department of Corrections who escapes from said custody, either while actually confined in a correctional facility, while assigned to the house arrest program authorized by Section 510.2 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes or other alternative to incarceration authorized by law, while assigned to the Preparole Conditional Supervision Program as authorized by Section 365 of this title or while permitted to be at large as a trusty, shall be guilty of a felony.
3. C. For the purposes of this section, an inmate assigned to the house arrest program, other alternative to incarceration authorized by law, or to the Preparole Conditional Supervision Program shall be considered to have escaped if the inmate cannot be located within a twenty-four hour period or if he fails to report to a correctional facility or institution, as directed.
4. D. For the purposes of this section, if the individual who escapes has felony convictions for offenses other than the offense for which he was serving imprisonment at the time of his escape, those previous felony convictions may be used for enhancement of punishment. The fact that any such convictions may have been used to enhance punishment in the sentence for the offense for which he was imprisoned at the time of the escape shall not prevent such convictions from being used to enhance punishment for the escape.
