uniform?

Do military prison inmates wear uniforms?

District Attorney 02:20, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the Air Force, working at an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment clinic, I have seen patients who have come from Correctional Control facility's wearing their uniforms, but otherwise secured. In military psychiatric inpatient units for violent patients and otherwise, they typically do not wear their uniforms, typically wearing hospital gowns or standardized patient clothing instead. In nearly all cases I have encountered, inmates at military prisons continue to wear the uniform of their own branch of service, though in many instances they have been stripped of rank.

In Germany f.w.i.w., they are forbidden to wear what is technically the normal uniform but actually a kind of dress-uniform; but they do, indeed have to, wear the "field uniform" which is also what the vast majority of (army) soldiers wear on their daily duties.--2001:A61:20C1:DA01:A094:35B0:DE9E:B0D6 (talk) 14:14, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism

i got rid of some vandalism could some one help put it back the way it was —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.230.152.202 (talk) 14:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

USDB - 5 years or 10 years

This article and the United States Disciplinary Barracks article are contradictory. One says USDB is typically used for enlisted soldiers with sentences of 5 years or more while the other says 10 years or more. -KaJunl (talk) 11:53, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Major Edits

I updated the US section in the following aspects
1. Updated statistics regarding the breakdown of military prisoners by branches to 2020
2. Added a pie chart for readability
3. Deleted the brigs section.
4. Reorganized Information

Pie chart
Pie chart data was adjusted as a percentage since the pie chart template needs it to be on a base of 100. An example would be for the army (557/1180)*100 ^[1]

Brigs Section Deletion
This was done because it is mentioned at the beginning of the section when discussing the Navy. I added the articles referenced in that section to a read more section and added a disambiguation page which explains the term further.

Method of Reorganization

1. Reordered the article's legal mention of the UCMJ by placing it at the beginning and the MP.

Reason: This is so that topics do not mix. The Legal system of the US Armed Forces is another article and should not be conflated and mixed into the article. Penal in it of itself explains so the extra text was redundant

2. Added headings to the article

Reason: To make it more readable.

Section of the United States "Structure of prisons" needs working on

The article discusses only the United States Navy. In addition to that the cited url seems to no longer be active, it redirects to a page related to the justice system. Wayback Machine does not have a version of the actual cited article. Chefs-kiss (talk) 20:44, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The tier system discussed for the navy applies for all so i modified the article to do fit that and added extra info on the female system Chefs-kiss (talk) 03:10, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
