§ 630.26 - Costs of civilian detention facilities.

(a) Civilian authorities may be reimbursed according to contracts for temporary detention after military authorities have assumed custody. It does authorize payment from the date further detention was requested. This does not authorize payment for subsistence and detention for the same period for which a reward was authorized. This does not preclude payment of reward or reimbursement for reasonable expenses for periods before delivery to military custody. Detained officers receiving basic allowance for substance (BAS) are charged the cost of substance.

(b) Costs incurred by the Army for detention under an Army contract are paid to the civilian facility. Any payment to the Army by another Armed Service must be by prior agreement between the commanders concerned.
