Doing time in a military brig is nothing like in the civilian world. It is a piece of cake. The prisoners have more rights than the guards do and that is no joke. Yeah they have rules to follow, but its not like they get beat down for not obeying. They mostly get disciplined through paper work. Unlike K9 was saying, they do get good conduct time earned which means their sentence is shortened. One of their punishments is the loss of some of there good conduct time. The prisoners mainly live in dorms of about 25 or in pods with individual cells. Even the prisoners at the hard time facilities aren't treated too bad. There is no way that a guard made a prisoner dig a 6 x 6 x6 ft hole with all that gear on. There would be some serious congressional investigations going on. I worked at three seperate facilities and one was a hard time facility. The hardest thing they had to do was make small rocks out of big rocks with a sledge hammer and even then we had to give them water breaks and let them rest. Most of the time is spent on working parties throughout the base or the brig doing maintanence or keeping the place clean. At night they get their TV, phone, and free time.(usually about 3 hrs a night) On the weekends, the guards would rent movies so they could have a movie night. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be a prisoner in any facility, but they don't have it that bad.

its a crazy place where fun and happiness have never visited! but always remembr you only do two days that you can remember, thats the day you go in and the day you get out! the last day seems to be the longest because you are so anxious to get beyond the walls and go home! it seems like the clock is standing still on that day! but once you are through being processed and you and given your personal property back (which you are soo glad to see) and you are walked to the outside of the gate you can breath easy once again knowing you made it! I had some associates who were in the brig with me on other cases and as i was getting out they were being tranfered to other facilities such as levenworth and the charleston naval brig. I felt soo bad for them because I knew I was on my way home after being cleared of all wrong doing (10 months later) and they were on their way to start a 5 to 7 year sentence at another harsh facility! I also met a child moloester that was waiting to be transfered to another prison who had 23 years to do! I still felt bad for the guy because \10 months was bad but 23 years is a lifetime! especially to a middle aged bald white guy.

When I was stationed at Ft. Lewis I had to count the prisoners whenever I had to pull duty as the 'Military Police Duty Officer.'
A military prison is a grim place. The prisoners stay in open bays that have bars for walls. The guards are very strict (a prisoner got 3 days in solitary when he cursed me for waking him up during the headcount). Whenever _any_ non-prisoner walks by any prisoner has to come to attention and stand with his back pressed against the wall.
Not a fun place.

Example: once I was the duty driver for hard labor in Hawaii. Hard labor in Hawaii is at Pearl Harbor that means the Marines administer it. One of the cadres told an inmate to dig an ashtray for his cigarette. An ashtray was a 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot hole. Dug while in full biological gear, rubber boots and gloves charcoal suit and gas mask with an entrenching tool.

If someone is guilty of serious crimes, I think that what life in jail is like would be the least of their worries.
