foot back on the ground.
SUMMARY
Remember, the army correctional system's mission is accomplished by maintaining prisoners in custody and
under control. Facility personnel achieve and maintain custody and control of prisoners by employing the
custody measures outlined in this lesson. Maintaining custody and control is the function of every confinement
or correctional facility and its staff.
