into execution by confinement in any place of confinement under the control of the Guam military forces
or in penal or correctional institution under the control of Guam, or which Guam or any political subdivision
thereof may control or be allowed to use. Persons so confined in penal or correctional institution not under
the control of Guam military forces are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or
committed by the courts of Guam or in the place in which the institution is situated.
(b) The omission of the words “hard labor” from any sentence or punishment of a court-martial
adjudging confinement does not deprive the authority executing that sentence or punishment of the power
to require hard labor as a part of the punishment.
(c) The keepers, officers, wardens and directors of correctional facilities, jails, penitentiaries, prisons
or any institution utilized for the purpose of holding or housing prisoners for Guam, or by such person as
he may authorize to act under § 63710 of this Code, shall receive persons ordered into confinement before
trial and persons committed to confinement by a military court and shall confine them according to the law.
No such keeper, officer, warden or director may require payment of any fee or charge for so receiving or
confining a person.
