The United States Army Corrections Command (ACC) exercises command and control and operational oversight for policy, programming, resourcing, and support of Army Corrections System (ACS) facilities and TDA elements worldwide.
On order, ACC coordinates the execution of condemned military prisoners.[2]
As of 2007, it managed 1,700 civilian and military personnel, 2,300 military prisoners in military and Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities or on mandatory supervised release or parole.[4]
Prisoner operations
Prisoner uniforms for regular post-trial male inmates include brown shirts and trousers. Male trustee[clarification needed] prisoners in the minimum and medium custodies wear special blue shirt and trouser uniforms. Maximum custody male prisoners wear orange jumpsuits. Pre-trial male prisoners wear tan-colored shirts and trousers. Female pre-trial and post-trial prisoners wear light blue shirt and trouser uniforms. Headgear consists of orange watch caps and orange ball caps.[5] During "cold weather" periods, prisoners wear brown coats.[6] The USDB will determine the uniforms of death penalty prisoners. The ACC said that this is the case because of "the uniqueness of this category of prisoner."[7]
