A WAY AS TO SEPARATE THE NOR" IN THE STATUTE FROM THE CLAUSE "BY A PRISONER TO ANY OTHER PRISONER. ANOTHER OR" SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDED AFTER THE WORDS JUVENILE DETAINEE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PREVIOUS GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE. THEN, WHEN THE EXCEPTION FOR JUVENILE DETAINEES WAS BROKEN OUT SEPARATELY FROM SUBSECTION 23, THE PRE-EXISTING "OR" WAS DELETED ALONG WITH THE WORDS "JUVENILE DETAINEE". IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS WAS INADVERTENT WHEN ONE READS THE RESULTING SUBSECTION 24:
"PROVISION, EQUIPPING, OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF ANY JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY, OR INJURIES RESULTING FROM THE ESCAPE OF A JUVENILE DETAINEE, OR INJURIES BY A JUVENILE DETAINEE TO ANY OTHER JUVENILE DETAINEE . . ." 51 O.S. 155(24).
MY SUGGESTED CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSECTION 23 IS AS FOLLOWS:
"PROVISION, EQUIPPING, OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF ANY PRISON, JAIL OR CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, OR INJURIES RESULTING FROM THE PAROLE OR ESCAPE OF A PRISONER (OR) BY A PRISONER TO ANY OTHER PRISONER . . ."
