35.285 Execution of confinement sentence. (1) A sentence of confinement adjudged by a military court may be carried into execution by confinement in any place of confinement under the control of the
National Guard or active militia, or in any jail, penitentiary or prison designated for
that purpose as prescribed in KRS 35.055; and persons so confined in such a jail,
penitentiary or prison shall be subject to the same discipline and treatment as
persons confined or committed to such jail, penitentiary or prison by the courts of
the state. (2) The omission of the words "hard labor" in any sentence of a court-martial adjudging confinement shall not be construed as depriving the authority executing such
sentence of the power to require hard labor as a part of the punishment. (3) The jailers, officers and wardens of all jails, penitentiaries or prisons designated pursuant to KRS 35.055 shall receive the bodies of persons ordered into
confinement prior to trial and of persons committed to confinement by the process
or mandate of a military court and shall confine them according to law, and no such
jailer, officer or warden shall demand or require payment of any fee or charge of
any nature for receiving or confining a person in such jail, penitentiary or prison. Effective: July 1, 1982
