Classifying
8-31. U.S. military prisoners in an FCF are classified into two categories⎯pretrial and posttrial:
z
Pretrial prisoners must be segregated from posttrial prisoners. Pretrial prisoners must be further
segregated by gender and according to their status as an officer, a noncommissioned officer, or
enlisted Soldier. Pretrial prisoners are individuals who are subject to trial by courts-martial and
have been ordered by competent authority into pretrial confinement pending the disposition of
charges.
z
Posttrial prisoners are individuals who are found guilty and sentenced to confinement. Posttrial
prisoners include in-transit prisoners who are evacuated to another facility and prisoners retained
at the FCF during short-term sentences.
Identifying
8-32. Individual identification photographs are taken of all prisoners. The prisoner’s last name, first name,
and middle initial are placed on the first line of a name board, and the prisoner’s social security number is
placed on the second line. A prisoner registration number may be added on the third line. Two front and
two profile pictures are taken of the prisoner. (Fingerprints are obtained according to AR 190-47.)
Clothing, Meals, and Dining Facilities
8-33. One of the many challenges that military police commanders and leaders face when operating a
facility is ensuring that the basic treatment standards for U.S. military prisoners are met and include, but are
not limited to—
z
Proper clothing for all seasons and weather.
z
Meals that are properly rationed and distributed.
8-34. Special security concerns are factors for dining facilities. Military police who are guarding U.S.
military prisoners must always be vigilant in areas where prisoners congregate, such as a dining facility.
8-35. Prior planning is critical to establishing a good system of supply needs and demands to ensure that
those requirements are fulfilled.
Clothing
8-36. Prisoners confined in an FCF wear the uniform of their respective military service. Certain items of
clothing (as prescribed in AR 700-84) and other articles (as determined by the facility commander) are
returned to the prisoner. Rank insignia is not worn at the place of confinement. The issue and expense of
clothing supplied to prisoners, except officers, is according to AR 700-84 and Common Table of
Allowance (CTA) 50-900. DA Form 3078 (Personal Clothing Request) is maintained for personnel with
less than six months of active duty service and personnel receiving clothing on an issue-in-kind basis.
Organizational clothing, within the allowances prescribed in CTA 50-900, may be provided to prisoners
according to AR 710-2. Prisoner clothing, except for officers on pay status, is laundered or dry-cleaned
without charge.
(See AR 210-130.)
(Clothing and personal property are dispositioned according to
AR 190-47.)
Meals
8-37. Prisoners are provided with wholesome and sufficient food that is prepared from the Army Master
Menu. They are normally supplied with the full complement of eating utensils. (The FCF commander must
approve the nonissue of eating utensils. Prisoners who are in close confinement, those who have lost
privileges, and those who have approved disciplinary action may be denied supplemental rations as
described on the Army Master Menu.) Alternate meal control procedures may be authorized by the FCF
commander or a designated representative as a means to prevent staff and prisoner injury when a prisoner
may have tampered with food. These procedures require documentation on DA Form 3997 (Military Police
Desk Blotter) and the concurrence of a medical officer. Meal control procedures will not exceed 7 days.

Chapter 8
8-38. Dining facilities may be organic to the unit that is operating the FCF or set up through appropriate
contracting procedures. The FCF commander must decide the best method for feeding the prisoners based
on the available dining facilities and the logistics and host nation support.
Medical Care and Sanitation
8-39. Medical personnel supporting an FCF assist in providing medical and behavioral health care,
referrals, limited counseling, and social services. Medical officers, clinician nurses, or physician’s
assistants perform medical examinations to determine the fitness of newly confined prisoners and prisoners
who have been outside military control for more than 24 hours. These examinations are completed within
24 hours of a prisoner’s initial arrival or return to confinement. Examinations normally take place at the
FCF. Dental services are provided, as required, for all prisoners. A medical officer, clinician nurse, or
physician’s assistant examines each prisoner in close confinement daily. Except in matters requiring the
protection of medical information, the facility commander is provided with medical observations and
recommendations concerning individual prisoner’s correctional treatment requirements.
8-40. Prisoners are tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and screened for tuberculosis within 3
duty days of their initial confinement. The results of the HIV test and the tuberculosis screening are
recorded on DD Form 503.
8-41. The medical commander or a designated representative (typically, a preventive medicine personal)
performs a monthly inspection of the FCF. This inspection ensures that the operation of the FCF is
consistent with accepted preventive medicine standards. The FCF commander is provided with a copy of
the inspection results at the time of the inspection.
(Additional medical guidance is provided in
AR 190-47.)
8-42. The FCF commander must enforce high sanitation standards within the facility. Preventive medicine
personnel will provide direct oversight and support to field sanitation teams as necessary.
8-43. All prisoners are required to bathe and follow basic personal-hygiene practices while in custody to
prevent communicable diseases. The FCF commander must enforce high sanitation standards in FCFs
where prisoners are required to share common latrines and showers.
Discipline, Control, and Administration
8-44. Developing discipline, control, and administrative procedures for military police operating
confinement facilities is crucial to the success of U.S. military prisoner operations. Military police leaders
ensure that appropriate procedures, consistent with U.S. laws and policies, are in place to guide and direct
personnel operating those facilities. Such procedures ensure that prisoners are allowed the full range of
privileges afforded to persons with their status if the consistent application of facility standards is applied.
Discipline
8-45. FCF commanders are authorized by public law and AR 190-47 to restrict the movement and actions
of prisoners, take other actions required to maintain control, protect the safety and welfare of prisoners and
other personnel, and ensure orderly FCF operation and administration.
Note. A prisoner is considered to be in an on-duty status except for periods of mandatory sleep
and meals and during reasonable periods of voluntary religious observation as determined by the
facility commander and in coordination with the facility chaplain. Therefore, a prisoner who, as
part of an administrative disciplinary action, has been determined undeserving of recreation time
privileges may be required to perform other duties during such time. Such performance of duties
is not considered a performance of extra duty. Privileges will be withheld from prisoners on an
individual basis, without regard to custody requirements or grade and only as an administrative
disciplinary measure authorized by AR 190-47. The attractiveness of living quarters and the type
or amount of material items that may be possessed by prisoners may differ by custody grade to
provide incentives for custody elevation. Prisoners are denied the privilege of rendering the
military salute. Pretrial prisoners salute when they are in an appropriate Service uniform.

8-46. The only authorized forms of administrative disciplinary action and punishment administered to
military prisoners are described in AR 190-47 and the UCMJ. Procedures, rules, regulations, living
conditions, and similar factors affecting discipline are constantly reviewed to determine disciplinary action.
Physical or mental punishments are strictly prohibited. Authorized administrative disciplinary actions
include—
z
Written or oral reprimand or warning.
z
Deprivation of one or more privileges. Visits may be denied or restricted as a disciplinary action
only when the offense involves violations of visitation privileges. Restrictions on mail will not
be imposed as a disciplinary measure.
z
Extra duty on work projects that may not exceed 2 hours per day for 14 consecutive days. Extra
duty will not conflict with regular meals, sleeping hours, or attendance at regularly scheduled
religious services.
z
Reduction of custody grade.
z
Disciplinary segregation that does not exceed 60 consecutive days. Prisoners are told why they
are being placed in segregation and that they will be released when the segregation has served its
intended purpose. Segregated prisoners receive the same diet as prisoners who are not
segregated. Nonessential items, such as soft drinks and candy, in addition to the diet stipulated
by the Army Master Menu are not provided.
z
Forfeiture of all or part of earned military good conduct time or extra good conduct time
according to AR 633-30 and DOD 1325.7. A forfeiture of good conduct time need not be
specified as to whether it is from good conduct time or extra good conduct time.
8-47. The FCF commander is authorized to administer punishment; he may delegate this authority to a
subordinate officer (captain or above) for minor punishments. The first field grade commander in the chain
of command imposes major punishment when delegated authority by the first general officer in the chain of
command. Prohibited punitive measures include, but are not limited to—
z
Clipping a prisoner’s hair excessively close.
z
Instituting the lockstep.
z
Requiring silence at meals.
z
Having prisoners break rocks.
z
Using restraining straps and jackets, shackles, or hand or leg irons as punishment.
z
Removing a prisoner’s underclothing or clothing and instituting other debasing practices.
z
Flogging, branding, tattooing, or any other cruel or unusual punishment.
z
Requiring strenuous physical activity or requiring a prisoner to hold a body position designed to
place undue stress on the body.
z
Using hand or leg irons, belly chains, or similar means to create or give the appearance of a
chain gang.
8-48. Prohibited security measures include, but are not limited to—
z
Employing chemicals to subdue or incapacitate prisoners (except riot control agents).
z
Employing machine guns, rifles, or automatic weapons at guard towers, except as a means to
protect the FCF from enemy or hostile fire. Selected marksmen, equipped with rifles, may be
used as part of a disorder plan when specifically authorized by the higher echelon commander
(other than the FCF commander).
z
Using electrically charged fencing.
z
Securing a prisoner to a fixed object. This is prohibited except in emergencies or when
specifically approved by the facility commander to prevent potential danger to FCF staff and/or
the outside community. Medical authorities should be consulted to assess the health risk to
prisoners.
z
Using MWDs to guard prisoners.
Note. The FCF commander must follow additional guidance and procedures for disciplinary
measures as outlined in AR 190-47.

Chapter 8
Control
8-49. The FCF commander follows the custody and control guidelines outlined in AR 190-47. The facility
commander or a designated representative conducts physical counts of prisoners each day. The report
rendered by the inspecting officer includes verification of DD Form 506
(Daily Strength Record of
Prisoners). Physical counts will, at a minimum, include—
z
Roll call or a similarly accurate accounting method at morning, noon, and evening formations.
z
Head count immediately on the return of prisoners from work details.
z
Bed checks between 2300 and 2400 and between 2400 and 0600.
8-50. The appropriate degree of custodial supervision for individual prisoners is based on a review of all
available records that pertain to each prisoner, including DD Form 2713 (Prisoner Observation Report),
DD Form 2714 (Prisoner Disciplinary Report/Action), Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 1325.7,
and the recommendations of corrections supervisors and professional services support personnel. Prisoners
are not assigned to a permanent custody grade based solely on the offenses for which they were confined.
Classification is to the minimum custody grade necessary and is consistent with sound security
requirements and DODI 1325.7. Custody grades include trustee and minimum, medium, and maximum
security. FCF commanders may subdivide these custody grades to facilitate additional security controls.
Administration
8-51. The commander and staff of a military police detention company or battalion will typically operate
an FCF. The following duties are performed in addition to the personnel and services requirements during
processing:
z
Shift supervisor. The shift supervisor keeps the FCF commander informed on matters that
affect the custody, control, and security of the FCF. The FCF commander must select a shift
supervisor who has direct supervision over correctional and custodial personnel within the FCF.
Shift supervisors ensure that rules, regulations, and standing operating procedures (SOPs) are
followed and enforced. They directly supervise facility guards and are responsible for prisoner
activities. They monitor custody and control and security measures, ensure compliance with the
scheduled calls, initiate emergency control measures, and are responsible for the DA Form 3997.
Supervisory personnel assigned to the FCF may also perform these duties.
z
Facility guards. Facility guards work for the shift supervisor and are responsible for the
custody, control, and discipline of prisoners under their supervision. They supervise activities
according to the schedule of calls and supervise the execution of emergency action plans. They
conduct periodic inspections, searches, head counts, roll calls, and bed checks. Table 8-1 depicts
the duties that facility guards must perform.
Table 8-1. Facility guards duties and actions
Duties
Actions
Close-confinement Soldiers maintain custody and control of prisoners who are
segregated from the general population due to inprocessing, administrative reasons, or
disciplinary reasons. They ensure that activities are accomplished within the schedule
of calls applicable to the close-confinement area. When DD Form 509 (Inspection
Close
Record of Prisoner’s in Segregation) is required, close-confinement Soldiers are
confinement
responsible for ensuring that 30-minute checks are conducted. Special-status prisoners
are checked every 15 minutes. Prisoners considered suicide risks are observed
continuously. Guards ensure that all required signatures for DD Form 509 are obtained
on a daily basis.
Dining facility Soldiers are responsible for the custody and control of prisoners during
Dining
mealtimes. They ensure that the dining facility traffic plan is followed to prevent
facility
prisoner congestion in high-traffic areas. Silverware is counted before and after the
meal. Prisoners are searched before leaving the dining facility.

armed with a pistol. If available, a guard company may perform these duties. If armed,
escorts
escorts will be qualified with a pistol and trained in the UOF, ROE, and firearms safety
procedures for transporting prisoners by land, air, and sea.
Soldiers assigned to the main gate and/or sally port ensure that only authorized
persons enter the FCF, provide custody and control of prisoners, and inspect vehicles
Main gate
entering and leaving the FCF. They provide security by inspecting packages,
and/or sally
conducting inventories of items entering and exiting the facility, and requiring
port
noncustodial personnel to register on sign-in logs. If available a guard company may
perform these duties.
Visitor room Soldiers are responsible for the custody and control of prisoners during
visits authorized by the FCF commander. They are to detect violations of rules and
regulations, improper behavior, and contraband delivery. They position themselves in
Visitor room
an inconspicuous place and observe the conversations rather than listen to them. Any
identified infractions are reported to the shift supervisor and may be grounds for
termination of the visit.
Health care personnel provide custody and control while escorting prisoners to and
from medical appointments and during specified hospitalization within the medical
Medical
treatment facility. They ensure that rooms are clear of contraband and prevent
treatment
unauthorized communications with other individuals. For those detainees evacuated
facility
through channels, the echelon commander or supporting military police commander
must provide guards/escorts as health care personnel cannot perform guard duties.
Soldiers assigned to duty in towers provide custody and control by observing specific
sectors of the perimeter. The Soldiers are briefed on the UOF and are qualified with a
Tower watch
12-gauge shotgun and/or their assigned weapon. The ensure that contraband is not
passed through the fence and provide protection for Soldiers in the
compound/enclosure.

8-53. A correctional treatment file is established within the first 72 hours of initial confinement and
maintained throughout a prisoner’s confinement period. If a prisoner is transferred, this file accompanies
the prisoner to the next facility. AR 190-47 establishes the minimal requirements for the correctional
treatment file.
8-54. The FCF commander may have to consider sentence computations if the theater commander
determines that certain sentences will be served within the theater. This decision is based on the type of
operation and its projected duration. Sentence computation is conducted according to AR 633-30 and
DODI 1325.7-M. The FCF commander ensures that the personnel services noncommissioned officer
working in the personnel staff officer is properly trained to do sentence computations. Incorrect
computations will result in incorrect release dates and can violate a prisoner’s legal rights. The rate of
earnings for good conduct time is calculated based on the prisoner’s length of confinement, to include any
pretrial time. Mail and Correspondence
8-55. The FCF staff records the inspection of each prisoner’s mail, correspondence, and authorized
correspondents on DD Form
499
(Prisoner’s Mail and Correspondence Record). The mail and
correspondence guidance outlined in AR 190-47 applies to the battlefield confinement of U.S. military
prisoners.
Prisoner Personal Property and Funds
8-56. Prisoners in the FCF are allowed to place personal property that the FCF commander has not
authorized it for personal retention in safekeeping. Prisoner personal property and funds guidance outlined
in AR 190-47 applies to the battlefield confinement of U.S. military prisoners.
Support Personnel
8-57. Support personnel organic to the unit operating the FCF are tasked with providing support to the
FCF. Special personnel (medical officer, chaplain, social service worker), may also be available to assist
with the administration of the facility. Support personnel assigned to an FCF are oriented and trained in the
procedures of custody and control. A formal training program is established that may include, but is not
limited to—
z
Supervisory and interpersonal communication skills.
z
Self-defense techniques.
z
Use of force.
z
Weapons qualifications. (See DA Pamphlet 350-38.)
z
First aid.
z
Emergency plans.
z
FCF regulations.
z
Riot control techniques.
Supply Services
8-58. Supply functions for units operating the FCF are the same as in other military operations. However,
more emphasis is placed on security measures and accountability procedures that are necessary to prevent
certain supplies and equipment from falling into the hands of prisoners.
8-59. Weapons, ammunition, and emergency equipment (such as hand and leg irons) must be stored in
maximum-security, locked racks and cabinets. These racks and cabinets are then placed in a room that is
located away from prisoner areas.
8-60. The unit logistics officer ensures that a sufficient amount of general-use and janitorial items are
available to keep the FCF sanitary and free of potential diseases. General-use items include mops, buckets,
brooms, toiletries, and office supplies. These items are issued under strict control procedures and on an
as-needed basis to prisoners and staff. Health and comfort items are issued to new prisoners during the
8-12

initial processing and regularly thereafter. Prisoners request additional supplies using DD Form 504.
Prisoners in a nonpay status receive these items free of charge. Basic health and comfort supplies include,
but are not limited to, safety razors, bath soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shoe polish.
8-61. Physical inventories are conducted at least monthly to reconcile and balance the records of the
previous inventory, supplies received, and supplies issued to prisoners. The FCF commander or a
designated representative verifies the inventory in writing.
EMERGENCY PLANNING AND INVESTIGATIONS
8-62. The FCF commander publishes formal plans for apprehending escaped prisoners, protecting and
preventing fires, evacuating the FCF
(in CBRN and regular scenarios), quelling prisoner riots and
disorders, evacuating mass casualties, quarantining U.S. military prisoners, and conducting special-
confinement and U.S. military prisoner processing operations. These plans must form part of the unit SOP
and be tailored to the physical environment where the FCF is located. Emergency action plans are tested at
least every six months. Evacuation drills (such as fire drills) are conducted monthly. All tests of the
emergency action plans in the FCF are recorded on DA Form 3997. (See DODI 6055.6 and FM 5-415.) The
essential elements of these plans include—
z
Providing notification by alarm and confirming the nature of the situation.
z
Providing procedures for manning critical locations on the exterior of the FCF (control points,
escape routes, observation points, defensive positions).
z
Providing procedures to secure the prisoner population during the execution of emergency action
plans.
z
Instituting prisoner and cadre recall procedures and developing a means of organizing forces (for
example, search parties and riot control teams).
z
Implementing procedures to terminate the emergency action plan and conducting follow-up
actions (submitting reports, conducting an investigation).
z
Providing procedures for evacuating mass casualties and securing prisoners.
8-63. The FCF commander is responsible for organizing a reaction force that is trained in the use of force,
riot control formations, and other emergency actions. The size of the reaction force depends on available
personnel assets and the nature of the emergency.
8-64. Where appropriate or legally required, incidents of misconduct, breaches of discipline, or violations
of the UCMJ are investigated using the procedures established in AR 15-6. Before prisoners suspected or
accused of violations are interviewed; advised of their rights against self-incrimination under Article 31,
UCMJ; and told that any statement they make may be used as evidence against them in a criminal trial or in
a disciplinary and adjustment board proceeding, they are told that they have the right to counsel and to have
counsel present during questioning. Requests to consult with counsel will not automatically result in the
case being referred to a three-member board. If requested, arrangements are made for the prisoner to meet
with an attorney as soon as practical. Relevant witnesses, including those identified by U.S. military
prisoners, are interviewed as deemed appropriate by the investigator. Written, sworn statements are
obtained when possible. The investigation is completed expeditiously, and a disciplinary report is submitted
to the FCF commander or a designated representative.
8-65. Upon receipt of the disciplinary and adjustment board report, the senior board member takes action
to reduce the report to a memorandum for record, refers the case for counseling and/or reprimand, or takes
other appropriate action. (Refer to AR 190-47 for further guidance on a disciplinary and adjustment board.)
RULES OF INTERACTION
8-66. The FCF commander must establish and enforce the rules of interaction that allow for the humane
treatment and care of prisoners, regardless of the reason they are confined rules of interaction include (but
are not limited to)—
z
Do be professional and serving as positive role models for prisoners.
z
Do be firm, impartial, and decisive.

Chapter 8
z
Do refrain from being too familiar or too belligerent with prisoners.
z
Do not become emotionally or personally involved with prisoners.
z
Do not gamble, fraternize, or engage in any commercial activities with prisoners.
z
Do not play favorites with any prisoners.
z
Do not give gifts to prisoners or accepting gifts from them.
USE OF FORCE
8-67. Guidelines on the use of force are incorporated into orders, plans, SOPs, and instructions at FDFs
and FCFs. In all circumstances, the minimum amount of force necessary is employed. The use of firearms
or other means of deadly force is justified only under conditions of extreme necessity and as a last resort.
No one will use physical force against a prisoner, except as necessary to defend themselves, prevent an
escape, prevent injury to persons, prevent property damage, quell a disturbance, move an unruly prisoner,
or as otherwise authorized in AR 190-47.
8-68. In the event of an imminent group or mass breakout from the FCF or another general disorder, it
should be made clear to prisoners that order will be restored, by force if necessary. If the situation permits,
a qualified senior noncommissioned officer or the facility commander will attempt to reason with prisoners
engaged in the disorder before the application of force. If reasoning fails or if the existing situation does not
permit reasoning, a direct order will be given to prisoners to terminate the disorder. Before escalating
beyond a show of force, prisoners not involved in the disturbance may be given an opportunity to
voluntarily assemble in a controlled area away from the disturbance.
ESCAPE
8-69. Each guard is provided with a whistle or another suitable means of audible alarm. Using firearms to
prevent an escape is justified only when there is no other reasonable means to prevent escape. (See
AR 190-14.) In the event that a prisoner attempts to escape from the confines of the FCF, the guard takes
action according to the following priorities:
z
Alerts other guard personnel of the attempted escape by blowing three short blasts on a whistle
or by sounding another suitable alarm signal.
z
Orders the prisoner to halt three times in a loud voice.
z
Fires only when the prisoner has passed all barriers of the FCF and is continuing the attempt to
escape.
8-70. The location of barriers is determined by the physical arrangement of the FCF. Normally, barriers
include fences or walls enclosing athletic, drill, recreational, and prisoner housing areas and administrative
buildings.
8-71. The FCF commander ensures that guards are trained to use the weapons with which they are armed.
All personnel are thoroughly trained on policies regarding the use of force and the provisions of
AR 190-14. Tower guards and escort guards are instructed that a shotgun will not be fired at a range of less
than 20 meters to prevent prisoner escapes. Such instructions will appear in prisoner guard training
programs and in special instructions prepared for guard personnel.
8-72. An M9 pistol and an M16 and/or M4 rifles are used when prisoners are under escort. Machine guns
and submachine guns are not used to guard U.S. military prisoners. Weapons are not taken inside controlled
areas of the FCF except at the expressed direction of the FCF commander.
TRANSPORTATION
8-73. The FCF commander is responsible for prisoner transportation requirements, to include safety and
security once a prisoner is under the FCF commander’s direct custody. (See chapter 4 for more information
on transportation considerations.) The FCF commander must ensure that the guard and escort force is
thoroughly familiar with the rules for the use of force and the movement tasks outlined in
STP 19-31E1-SM. The FCF commander ensures that escort guards—

z
Do follow loading procedures based on the type of transport available.
z
Know emergency, loading, unloading, latrine, and meal procedures.
TRANSFER AND DISPOSITION OF U.S. MILITARY PRISONERS
8-74. The FCF commander must be prepared to transfer U.S. military prisoners from their facilities to
other confinement facilities outside the theater or back to their units. Receiving units are responsible for the
movement of prisoners. Prisoners are only released from confinement with proper authorization. The FCF
commander coordinates with the Staff Judge Advocate and the next higher commander to determine release
authority and authenticate DD Form 2718
(Prisoner Release Order).
(Detailed guidance on the
administrative and operational processing required for prisoner transfer is outlined in AR 190-47.)
