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 CH. 63 GUAM NATIONAL GUARD into execution by confinement in any place of confinement under the control of the Guam military forces or in penal or correctional institution under the control of Guam, or which Guam or any political subdivision thereof may control or be allowed to use. Persons so confined in penal or correctional institution not under the control of Guam military forces are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or committed by the courts of Guam or in the place in which the institution is situated.

(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, wardens and directors of correctional facilities, jails, penitentiaries, prisons or any institution utilized for the purpose of holding or housing prisoners for Guam, or by such person as he may authorize to act under § 63710 of this Code, shall receive persons ordered into confinement before trial and persons committed to confinement by a military court and shall confine them according to the law. No such keeper, officer, warden or director may require payment of any fee or charge for so receiving or confining a person.
