Officials responsible for prisoners may not refuse a properly committed prisoner when given a signed charge statement. They must report the prisoner, charge, and committing person promptly.
(a) A provost marshal, guard commander, or master at arms may not refuse a prisoner committed by a commissioned officer* when the officer* supplies* a signed statement of the charged offense. (b) Within 24 hours, or sooner when relieved from guard duty, the guard commander or master at arms must report the prisoner’s name, charge, and the person who ordered or authorized commitment to the commanding officer*.
No provost marshal, commander of a guard, or master at arms may refuse to receive or keep any prisoner committed to his charge by a commissioned officer* of the armed forces*, when the committing officer* furnishes a statement, signed by him, of the offense charged against the prisoner.
Every commander of a guard or master at arms to whose charge a prisoner is committed shall, within twenty-four hours after that commitment or as soon as he is relieved from guard, report to the commanding officer* the name of the prisoner, the offense charged against him, and the name of the person who ordered or authorized the commitment.
