About

Chapter 1 The Army Correctional System The Army provides for the differing correctional needs of persons held for short, medium, and long periods of confinement by maintaining a three-tiered correctional system. Although the mission at all levels of the ACS is to confine US prisoners and to provide correctional treatment, the mission emphasis differs at each level. The differences in mission emphasis are based on the length of time prisoners are to be confined and the facilities and services such confinement requires. At the local level are the installation detention facilities (IDFs), which hold pretrial detainees and short-term posttrial prisoners. Army IDFs provide limited services and custodial supervision. Also at this level are field confinement facilities for temporarily confining soldiers in custody in tactical situations until they can be evacuated to the rear.
