Louisiana Administrative Code
Title 41 - MILITARY FORCES OF THE STATE
Part II - Military Justice
Chapter 7 - Post-Trial Procedures
Section II-708 - Execution of Sentence Involving Custody

A. General. Sentences of confinement adjudged by military courts shall be served in the Dabadie Correctional Center at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. When special circumstances require confinement at another facility, placement of military prisoners in such other facilities may be approved by the Adjutant General or the State Judge Advocate.

B. Order of Commitment. If the convening authority approves any portion of a court-martial sentence that includes confinement and does not suspend that confinement, he will issue an Order of Commitment, if confinement has not been deferred. [See Figure 7-3.] The convening authority may allow the convicted accused to serve his sentence to confinement on some basis other than "straight-time" (for example, by allowing service on weekends or participation in a work-release program), in which case he should make the appropriate arrangements with confinement authorities prior to issuing the Order of Commitment. Any such arrangements are set out in that portion of the Order of Commitment following the words "Special Instructions". The interests of the State of Louisiana and the convicted accused are usually best served by making arrangements through defense counsel for the convicted accused to voluntarily surrender to begin service of sentence, rather than by causing service of the Order of Commitment without prior notice to the convicted accused. Any special medical and/or dental needs of military prisoners should be made known on the Order of Commitment.
