  provided for under the GPW related to the rights of the accused and to means of defense (GPW arts. 84, 105;
  consider AP I art. 75).
  3-130. In deciding whether proceedings with respect to an offense shall be judicial or disciplinary, the
  competent authority should exercise the greatest leniency and adopt, where possible, disciplinary rather than
  judicial measures (GPW art. 83).
  DOUBLE JEOPARDY
  3-131. A POW may not be punished more than once for the same act or on the same charge (GPW art. 86).
  OFFENSES COMMITTED PRIOR TO CAPTURE
  3-132. Subject to the requirements of the GPW, a detaining power may try a POW for offenses over which
  it may exercise jurisdiction committed prior to capture, such as war crimes committed against the detaining
  power or its co-belligerents. Throughout the trial process and after, even if convicted, a POW retains the
  status of a POW and the benefits of the GPW (GPW art. 85).
  DISCIPLINARY MEASURES AND PRE-TRIAL ISSUES
  3-133. Acts that constitute offenses against discipline shall be investigated immediately (GPW art. 96).
  Investigations related to a POW shall be conducted as rapidly as circumstances permit so that his or her trial
  may take place as soon as possible (GPW art. 103). No moral or physical coercion may be exerted on a POW
  to induce an admission of guilt.
  3-134. A POW accused of an offense against discipline shall not be confined during investigation and
  pending any hearing unless the detaining power would similarly confine a member of its own armed forces
  for the same offense under similar circumstances, or if doing so is otherwise essential to camp order and
  discipline. Any period a POW spends in confinement awaiting disposal of an offense against discipline shall
  be as short as possible and shall not exceed fourteen days (GPW art. 95). The period a POW spends in
  confinement awaiting judicial trial may not exceed three months (GPW art. 103).
  3-135. A POW confined as a disciplinary punishment or pending trial continues to enjoy the benefits of the
  GPW except for those necessarily rendered inapplicable due to the nature of confinement. POWs shall not in
  any case be transferred to a civilian prison to undergo disciplinary punishment therein; female POWs shall
  be confined in separate quarters from men and shall remain under the immediate supervision of women (GPW
  art. 97). Parcels and remittances of money to such a POW may be withheld until completion of confinement;
  POWs shall meanwhile be entrusted to the prisoners’ representative. However, POWs confined for
  disciplinary punishment or pending trial retains the right to (GPW arts. 98, 103):
  * Make requests and complaints and deal with representatives of the protecting power or the ICRC;
  * Retain the prerogatives attached to their rank;
  * Read, write, receive, and send correspondence;
  * Retain access to facilities to ensure individual safety, cleanliness, and health (GPW art. 25, 29);
  * Take regular exercise and stay in the open air at least two hours daily; and
  * Be present at the daily medical inspections and have the medical care required by their state of
  health.
  3-136. All POWs sentenced to confinement, as a result of judicial proceedings, have the right to (GPW art.
  108):
  * Make requests and complaints and deal with representatives of the protecting power or the ICRC;
  * Receive and send correspondence;
  * Receive at least one relief parcel each month;
  * Take regular exercise in the open air;
  * Have the medical care required by their state of health; and
  * Have such spiritual assistance as they may desire.
