§158. Article 58. Execution of confinement
A. Under such instructions as the governor may prescribe, a sentence of confinement adjudged by a court-martial, whether or not the sentence 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 armed forces of this state or in any penal or correctional institution under the control of this state, or which this state may be allowed to use. Persons so confined in a penal or correctional institution not under the control of one of the armed forces are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or committed by the courts of this state.
B. No confinement ordered by a court-martial shall be at hard labor.
