The USNHI-USN Pearl Harbor Brig, located at Bldg 462, 2056 Wasp Blvd in Honolulu, HI, is a military prison is a specialized correctional facility operated by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to house service members who have been convicted of crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). These facilities play a crucial role in maintaining military discipline, ensuring accountability, and upholding the integrity of the armed forces. Unlike civilian prisons, military correctional institutions operate under a structured system that enforces strict discipline, provides rehabilitative opportunities, and, in some cases, allows for reintegration into military service. The United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is the nation’s highest-security military prison, designed for inmates serving lengthy sentences, while lower-level military brigs and regional correctional facilities house individuals serving shorter terms or awaiting court-martial.

When a service member is convicted at court-martial, they undergo a classification and intake process to determine their security level, rehabilitation needs, and facility placement. Those sentenced to less than a year may be housed in a regional Level I facility, which focuses on rehabilitation and potential return to duty. Those serving longer sentences or convicted of serious offenses, such as violent crimes or espionage, are assigned to Level II or Level III facilities, where they serve their time under stricter security protocols. Pretrial detainees, those awaiting trial or sentencing, may also be held in military jails or regional brigs. Regardless of their classification, all military prison inmates are subject to a regimented schedule, work assignments, and rehabilitative programs, including vocational training, education, and substance abuse counseling, aimed at preparing them for reintegration into society.

Military correctional facilities also have distinct parole and clemency procedures, overseen by the Military Clemency and Parole Board, which evaluates inmate progress and determines eligibility for early release. Unlike civilian inmates, those who are dishonorably discharged upon release may lose military benefits and face additional challenges reintegrating into civilian life. However, for eligible service members, military prisons provide structured programs that encourage rehabilitation and personal accountability. As part of the broader Military Justice System, these institutions ensure that justice is served while upholding the core values of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The mission of the Pearl Harbor Brig is to provide safe, legal, secure, and professional confinement of prisoners for all branches of Service in Hawaii; and, to provide a corrections program of evaluation, work, training, and opportunities for self-improvement with the goal of better preparing confined personnel for return to duty, or to return to the civilian community, as productive, offense-free individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

USNHI-USN Pearl Harbor Brig - FAQs

Military prisons, also known as military correctional facilities, house service members convicted of offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). These facilities are operated by the Department of Defense (DoD) and serve as correctional institutions for those sentenced by court-martial, as well as for pretrial detainees awaiting trial. Unlike civilian prisons, military correctional facilities maintain strict discipline, offer rehabilitative programs, and, in some cases, allow inmates to reintegrate into military service after completing their sentences. Below are 16 frequently asked questions regarding military prisons, detailing how they operate and what service members can expect while incarcerated.

What is a military prison?
A military prison is a correctional facility operated by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) that houses military personnel convicted of violations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). These facilities are designed to maintain discipline, security, and rehabilitation for service members sentenced by court-martial.
Who is incarcerated in military prisons?
Military prisons house active-duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel who have been convicted of military crimes, including desertion, espionage, murder, sexual assault, and other violations of military law. Some facilities also hold pretrial detainees awaiting court-martial.
What are the different types of military correctional facilities?
Military correctional facilities are divided into three levels:
- Level I: Short-term facilities for inmates serving less than a year, often with a focus on rehabilitation and reintegration.
- Level II: Medium-security facilities for inmates serving longer sentences who do not pose a high-security risk.
- Level III: High-security facilities like the United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB) at Fort Leavenworth, which house inmates serving lengthy or life sentences.
What happens when a service member is sentenced to military prison?
After a conviction at court-martial, the service member undergoes processing, classification, and transfer to the appropriate correctional facility based on their sentence and security risk. Some may serve their sentence at a regional military brig, while those with longer sentences may be transferred to the USDB or another Level III facility.
Can a service member be dishonorably discharged and still serve time in a military prison?
Yes. Some inmates receive a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge but still serve part of their sentence in a military facility before being transferred to a federal prison to complete their time.
How do military prisons differ from civilian prisons?
Military prisons operate under strict discipline and structure, with a focus on maintaining order, security, and potential rehabilitation. Unlike civilian prisons, military correctional facilities enforce military training, work programs, and vocational rehabilitation tailored to service members.
Do inmates in military prisons wear uniforms?
Yes. Inmates in military prisons wear standard-issue uniforms that distinguish them from active-duty personnel. The uniforms vary depending on the facility and security classification of the inmate.
Can inmates in military prisons receive visitors?
Yes, but visitation rules vary by facility and security level. All visitors must undergo security screening and approval, and visits may be limited to certain days and times. Some inmates may be eligible for contact visits, while others may only have non-contact or video visitation.
Do military prison inmates have access to legal representation?
Yes. Inmates have the right to legal counsel, appeals, and post-conviction representation. Some may also seek assistance from the Military Clemency and Parole Board or request sentence reductions and clemency reviews.
What kind of rehabilitation programs are available in military prisons?
Many military correctional facilities offer vocational training, education, substance abuse counseling, and behavioral therapy to help inmates reintegrate into society. Some lower-security facilities provide job placement assistance and work release programs for those nearing the end of their sentence.
Are inmates required to work while in a military prison?
Yes. Many military prisons implement work programs that require inmates to perform maintenance, administrative duties, or vocational training. The goal is to instill discipline and provide job skills that may benefit them after release.
Can inmates in military prisons earn parole?
Yes. Some inmates may qualify for parole or early release based on good behavior, program participation, and a review by the Military Clemency and Parole Board. However, those convicted of serious crimes may be ineligible for parole.
What happens when an inmate completes their sentence?
Upon release, inmates who were dishonorably discharged are no longer part of the military and may receive assistance with reentry into civilian life. Those without a dishonorable discharge may, in rare cases, be allowed to reintegrate into the military if approved by a special review board.
Can civilians be held in military prisons?
In rare cases, civilians accused of crimes related to military operations or spies may be detained in military correctional facilities. However, most civilian offenders are transferred to federal or state prisons.
What is the most well-known military prison in the U.S.?
The United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is the only maximum-security military prison in the country. It houses service members serving long-term sentences, including life and capital punishment cases.
Are military prisons subject to the same human rights and correctional standards as civilian prisons?
Yes. Military prisons must comply with federal and international standards for humane treatment, including provisions under the Geneva Conventions, U.S. Military Code, and Department of Defense regulations. However, the military maintains additional disciplinary and operational structures unique to its correctional system.
