38-2-463. Execution of confinement; discipline while in civil jails; hard labor; civil confinement according to law
(a) Any sentence or punishment adjudged by a military court, whether or not the sentence or punishment includes discharge or dismissal and whether or not the discharge or dismissal has been executed, may be carried into execution by confinement in any place of confinement under the control of any of the forces of the organized militia, or in any jail or correctional institution designated for that purpose as prescribed in Code Section
38-2-344. Persons confined in a jail or correctional institution shall be subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or committed to jail or correctional institution by the courts of the state or of any political subdivision thereof.
(b) The omission of the words "hard labor" in any sentence or punishment of a court-martial adjudging confinement shall not be construed as depriving the authority executing the sentence or punishment of the power to require hard labor as a part of the punishment.
(c) The keepers, officers, and wardens of all city or county jails and of all other jails or correctional institutions designated by the Governor or by the adjutant general pursuant to Code Section
38-2-344 shall receive the bodies of persons ordered into confinement prior to trial and of persons committed to confinement by the process or mandate of a military court and shall confine them according to law. No keeper, officer, or warden shall demand or require payment of any fee or charge of any nature for receiving or confining a person in the jail or correctional institution.
