29B.59 EXECUTION OF CONFINEMENT.
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 state military forces or in any
jail, penitentiary, or prison designated for that purpose. Persons
so 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 the state or of any
political subdivision thereof.
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.
The keepers, officer, and wardens of city or county jails and of
other jails, penitentiaries, or prisons shall receive persons ordered
into confinement before trial and persons committed to such
confinement by a military court and shall confine them according to
law. No such keeper, officer or warden may require payment of any
fee or charge for so receiving or confining a person. Section History: Early Form
