History. This publication is a major revision.

Summary. This regulation covers policies governing the Army Corrections System and implements DoDD 1325.04E and DoDI 1325.07. This regulation sets forth operational control of Army Corrections System facilities located worldwide to the United States Army Corrections Command. It mandates use of the Army Corrections Information System, a database automation platform technology, to uniformly collect, record, organize, and process data from Army Corrections System facilities and to report, share and disseminate data. The Army Corrections Information System is used for all facets of facility and agency accountability of prisoners and confined personnel. The United States Army Corrections Command is the primary administrative control of the Army Corrections Information System platform within Army Corrections System facilities.

Applicability. This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. In addition, this regulation also applies to all assigned, attached, or operationally controlled Army Corrections Command personnel and all Army Corrections System prisoners incarcerated in Army Corrections System facilities.

Proponent and exception authority. The proponent of this regulation is the Provost Marshal General. The proponent has the authority to approve exceptions or waivers to this regulation consistent with controlling law and regulations. The proponent may delegate this approval authority, in writing, to a division chief within the proponent agency or its direct reporting unit or field operating agency, in the grade of colonel or the civilian equivalent. Activities may request a waiver to this regulation by providing justification including a full analysis of the expected benefits and will include formal review by the activity's senior legal officer. All waiver requests will be endorsed by the commander or senior leader of the requesting activity and forwarded through their higher headquarters to the policy proponent. Refer to AR 25-30 for specific requirements.

Army internal control process. This regulation contains internal control provisions in accordance with AR 11-2 and identifies key internal controls that must be evaluated (see appendix G).

Committee management. AR 15-39 requires the proponent to justify establishing/continuing committee(s), coordinate draft publications, and coordinate changes in committee status with the U.S. Army Resources and Programs Agency, Department of the Army Committee Management Office (AARP-ZA), 9301 Chapek Road, Building 1458, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5527. Further, if it is determined that an established "group" identified within this regulation later takes on the characteristics of a committee, as defined in AR 15-39, then the proponent will follow all AR 15-39 requirements for establishing and continuing the group as a committee.

Distribution. This publication is available in electronic media only and is intended for command levels C, D, and E for the Regular Army and D and E for the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States and the U.S. Army Reserve.

The ACS provides employment and rehabilitation opportunities and counseling assistance to enhance living skills among post-trial prisoners in preparation for their release from confinement. This chapter provides guidance and di-rection for commanders of ACS facilities and does not create any right or entitlement for any prisoner.

The safety and welfare of the military and civilian communities in which ACS facilities are located necessitate estab-lishment of adequate controls to protect those communities from potentially dangerous prisoners.
