What is the afloat brig instruction?

The afloat brig instruction is outlined in BUPERSINST 1640.28. This instruction provides guidance on the operations, administration, and management of afloat brigs within the Naval Safety Forces context. It includes standards for the care, custody, and control of prisoners and outlines the responsibilities of the personnel involved in brig operations. Understanding this instruction is crucial for maintaining the safety and order aboard naval vessels, ensuring that disciplinary actions are handled properly, and that the rights and welfare of individuals detained are respected. This sets a framework that is essential for safe and effective corrections management.
