There seems to be a spate of cases arising around the world about where accused military personnel should be housed during pretrial confinement or detention. The latest is
this one from Kenya, where a contempt citation has been sought against the chief of the Navy for transferring accuseds from a naval base to a civilian prison. The three Bolivian noncoms who have been
much in the news have been complaining about detention in makeshift facilities at Army and Air Force installations, and a recently-apprehended retired Philippine general has
sought to be confined in a military rather than a civilian lockup. Presumably some pretrial detainees think they will receive better treatment in a military jail than elsewhere. A function of rank? Whether they have supporters in the force?
