Should the Army go back to CCF(Consoladated Confinement Facilities) and(School of Soldiers). To me these were the two best facilities that the Army had for Soldiers who just needed a push

SFC Benjamin Berry III - I think it is a good idea if run IAW regulations. One of the problems with it, which caused it to go away, was that some were not run IAW regulations and the Army faced criticism and legal issues for "unlawful confinement" (to include some "locally established facilities" that were clearly in violation). I even recall some units having their own detention cells in their barracks that, when discovered, resulted in folks being charged with unlawful detention.

I would like to see the Army reinstitute the old US Army Retraining Brigade (formerly called US Army Correctional Activity) that was located at Ft Riley, KS. Soldiers charged and convicted of certain offenses were sent there for "retraining" for a specified period of time and, at the end of their sentence, would be evaluated for return to duty or discharged, depending on their attitude and progress.

Now a days you have to do a summary courts marshal to put someone in labor camp. When I was in command at Ft myer we would send them to quantico Marine Base.

I truly believe that Army made a mistake if they have removed CCF's from bases. If bases had CCF it might eliminate the following incidents. http://ow.ly/IrLd300D2TW

What is it? In the Marine Corps we had CCU, which was essentially hard labor. THe broke big rocks into little rocks and a Marine could be sentenced there one time for 30 days as a measure to avoid brig time or OTH discharge.

Is that like a Brig? I know the Navy uses Consolidated Brigs as I've seen a couple. I know they have Navy & Marine inmates/detainees (whatever the PC term is, LOL) and I THINK (correct me if I'm wrong) they also have inmates from the other branches, as well as corrections officers from all branches.

Soldiers wouldn't know how to act if that happened. But it would be interesting to see!
