2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 29:158 — Article 58. execution of confinement

§158.  Article 58.  Execution of confinement

A.  Under such instructions as the governor may prescribe, a sentence of confinement adjudged by a court-martial, whether or not the sentence includes discharge or dismissal, and whether or not the discharge or dismissal has been executed, may be carried into execution by confinement in any place of confinement under the control of any of the armed forces of this state or in any penal or correctional institution under the control of this state, or which this state may be allowed to use.  Persons so confined in a penal or correctional institution not under the control of one of the armed forces are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or committed by the courts of this state.  

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.
