How Military Prisons Differ from Federally-Run Correctional Facilities

Military prisons are typically used to house prisoners of war (POWs), unlawful combatants, those who pose a risk to national security and military members who have been found guilty of serious crimes. Due to the unique nature of these facilities, they typically fall into two categories: penal, to punish or reform, and confinement-oriented, housing those who pose a security threat. The US military’s correctional system is organized into three tiers consisting of 59 prison facilities. Level One is the lowest and typically consists of pre- and post-trial inmates with sentences of no more than one year. Level Two, which houses the majority of prisoners, holds those with sentences of up to seven years, while level three makes use of the maximum-security facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to house the most dangerous criminals.
