This legislative proposal aims to expand the possibilities for carrying out involuntary medical treatment for individuals placed under a custodial sentence or in youth detention facilities. It seeks to adjust existing legal frameworks governing psychiatric care within these institutions. The changes primarily affect individuals undergoing compulsory treatment within the correctional and youth justice systems. The goal is to ensure more effective medical interventions when deemed necessary for patient well-being and public safety.
