26-1058. Execution of confinement

A. A sentence of confinement adjudged by a military court, 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 forces of the national guard or in any jail, penitentiary or prison. Persons confined in a jail, penitentiary or prison are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or committed to the jail, penitentiary or prison by the courts of this state or of any political subdivision.

B. The omission of the words "hard labor" from any sentence or punishment of a court-martial adjudging confinement does not deprive the authority executing that sentence or punishment of the power to require hard labor as a part of the punishment.

C. The keepers, officers and wardens of city or county jails and of other jails, penitentiaries or prisons designated by the governor shall receive persons ordered into confinement before trial and persons committed to confinement by a military court and shall confine them according to law. A keeper, officer or warden shall not require payment of any fee or charge for receiving or confining a person. Confinement orders shall be signed by trial counsel.
