U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 858. Art. 58. Execution of confinement
(a) Under such instructions as the Secretary concerned may
prescribe, a sentence of confinement adjudged by a court-martial or
other military tribunal, whether or not the sentence includes
discharge or dismissal, and whether or not the discharge or
dismissal has been executed, may be carried into execution by
confinement in any place of confinement under the control of any of
the armed forces or in any penal or correctional institution under
the control of the United States, or which the United States may be
allowed to use. Persons so confined in a penal or correctional
institution not under the control of one of the armed forces are
subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or
committed by the courts of the United States or of the State,
Territory, District of Columbia, or place in which the institution
is situated.
(b) The omission of the words "hard labor" from any sentence of a
court-martial adjudging confinement does not deprive the authority
executing that sentence of the power to require hard labor as a
part of the punishment.
