9. Do you have to be a certified brig escort to bring someone to the brig for confinement?
No. However, for any type of temporary release, brig escort qualification is required. A permanent release escort must be the same rank or above, non-brig chaser.
10. Who is authorized to sign the medical certificate on the confinement order?
Only a medical officer, nurse practitioner or physician's assistant (PA) is authorized.
11. Does the prisoner really need a full sea bag?
No, prisoners (pre/post trial) will wear the Standardized Prisoner Uniform(SPU). SPU information can be found on the additional resources page. However, undergarments, PT gear, and other items are still required. Pre-trial prisoners must bring a complete Dress Uniform for court appearances, w/shirt stays and appropriate rank insignia.
12. Can we bring in a prisoner without the physical signed by an officer, and then get it done later?
No. The prisoner must have a complete confinement physical. However, in exigent circumstances when a physical cannot be signed by proper authority, we will accept an SF 600 signed by a corpsman. The parent command or escorts (including civilians) are responsible for making sure the physical is properly completed within 24 hours of the time the corpsman signed it. That means ensuring it is signed by the Medical Officer or Physician's Assistant (PA).
13. What else does a new arrival need upon confinement?
Money, phone numbers and addresses of family and friends.
14. What paperwork is required for new confinements? Current versions of all DoD Froms can be found here.
