Prisons and reformatories; prohibiting access to social media by inmates. Effective date.

SB 1923 prohibits inmates in Oklahoma prisons and reformatories from accessing social media platforms on any electronic devices provided by the Department of Corrections (like phones, tablets, or computers). The bill defines "social media platform" as websites enabling user-generated content and interaction, such as Facebook or Instagram. The Department of Corrections must create specific rules to implement this ban, which takes effect November 1, 2026. This policy directly affects all inmates in state correctional facilities by restricting their use of social media during incarceration.
