Scope and Applicability. Guidance contained herein is directive in nature and applicable to all Navy shore pre-trial and post-trial confinement facilities (i.e., brigs).

Purpose

a. To identify the philosophy and essential elements of the "military model" approach to administering the Navy Corrections Program at Navy shore confinement facilities and to comply with references (a) through (d). Unless otherwise noted, the term "prisoner" refers to pre-trial prisoners, post-trial prisoners, and service members awarded confinement on bread and water under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), article 15. Policy regarding the management of discharged prisoners is contained within reference (b), article 7103.2g, and reference (c), article 1640-070, paragraph 101.2c.

b. Major revisions include: migration to a standardized prisoner uniform; retention of service uniform for pre-trial prisoners for wear at official appearances; and not requiring prisoners to salute while wearing the standardized prisoner uniform. This instruction is a complete revision and should be read in its entirety.
