Useless Navy Trivia for 8/3/10 ~ Captains Mast - Can you be awarded 3 days bread and water?

Suppose your an E-3 are on a ship and you got caught shoplifting from the ships store. You are sent to Captains Mast. The Captain is really ticked and says "I'm sentencing you to 3 days bread and water". Is this legal?



Yes, it is legal. The CO can sentences you to 3 days bread and water. Here are the rules:

Confinement on Bread and Water or Diminished Rations

These punishments can only be awarded to E-3s and below if they are attached to or embarked in a vessel. These punishments involve physical confinement and are equivalent to solitary confinement because contact is allowed only with authorized personnel.

A medical officer must first certify in writing that the accused will suffer no serious injury and that the place of confinement will not harm the accused. Diminished rations is a restricted diet of 2,100 calories per day, and instructions for its use are detailed in SECNAV- INST 1640.9.

2. Special Categories
a. B&W or DIMRATS for Prisoners

(1) These punishments are authorized by reference (a),
article 15, and may be imposed only upon an enlisted person in
pay grade E-3 or below who is attached to or embarked in a
vessel. Confinement on B&W, or DIMRATS, shall not be imposed
for more than 3 consecutive days.

(2) Rations furnished a person undergoing confinement on
B&W shall consist solely of bread and water. The amount of
bread and water shall not be restricted and will be served three
times daily at the normal time of meals.

(3) A person undergoing confinement on DIMRATS will
receive three meals daily which will contain no meat, poultry,
fish, eggs, butter, milk, sweeteners, desserts, and table
condiments, and only one-half rations of all other items of the
regular menu. Normal standards of preparation and service of
food will be maintained. Water will be the only drink.

(4) Neither B&W nor DIMRATS may be imposed as
disciplinary measures unless the medical officer pre-certifies
in writing that a deterioration of the prisoner's health is not
anticipated as a result of such action.

(5) Prisoners serving sentences of B&W or DIMRATS will
be confined in a cell and will be bound by the procedures set
forth for disciplinary segregation cells. They will not be
removed for work or physical exercise.

(6) A pre-confinement medical examination shall be
obtained before B&W/DIMRATS punishment is carried out,
regardless of whether punishment is a new admission, a
continuation of confinement, or a readmission of a person
previously released from confinement. Good conduct time is not
credited for B&W/DIMRATS punishment.
