submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 61 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A person being held for trial may be arrested or confined on the pending charges, but the conditions may not be harsher than needed to ensure the person appears. Minor discipline violations may still receive minor punishment.

A person held for trial may not receive punishment or a penalty other than arrest or confinement for the pending charges. The arrest or confinement may not be stricter than the circumstances require to ensure the person's presence. The person may, however, receive minor punishment for discipline violations during that period.

No person, while being held for trial, may be subjected to punishment or penalty other than arrest or confinement upon the charges pending against him, nor shall the arrest or confinement imposed upon him be any more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence, but he may be subjected to minor punishment during that period for infractions of discipline.
