  3-60. Personal items such as a ring, wrist watch, or family photographs may not be taken from a POW or
  from dead enemy personnel except by authorized personnel, and then only for their safekeeping. Items taken
  for safekeeping must be itemized, separated, and packaged in order to permit accountability, safekeeping,
  and return upon a POW’s release (GPW art. 18).
  3-61. Currency carried by POWs may not be taken except by order of an officer. The amount of currency
  and the identity of the owner must be recorded in a special register, and an itemized receipt must be provided
  to the POW (GPW art. 18). The unexplained possession by a POW of a large sum of money justifiably leads
  to an inference that such funds are not his or her own property and are in fact either property of the enemy
  government or property that has been looted or otherwise stolen.
  INTERROGATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY
  3-62. Intelligence interrogation of detainees immediately following capture is essential for purposes of
  accountability and intelligence collection. For purposes of accountability, the capturing unit is required to
  establish a list of POWs who are evacuated as soon as possible (GPW art. 20). To facilitate this effort, each
  POW is obligated to provide name, rank, date of birth, and army, regimental, or service number, or, failing
  this, equivalent information. Refusal to provide this information is not a basis for denial of POW or retained
  person status, however, such refusal may justify a restriction of privileges that would otherwise be accorded
  to a POW’s rank or status (GPW art. 17).
  3-63. Parties to the conflict are required to provide personnel under their jurisdiction who are “liable to
  become” POWs with identification cards with the information listed in the previous paragraph. These cards
  may also have the fingerprints or signatures of the possessor. They shall be shown to the possessor’s captors
  but retained by the cardholder (GPW art. 17). At no time will POWs be without their identification
  documents. The lack of possession of an identification card does not disqualify a person “liable to become”
  a POW from being entitled to POW status.
  3-64. POWs unable to state their identity due to mental or physical condition shall be handed over to the
  medical service (GPW art. 17).
  3-65. The GPW does not prohibit intelligence interrogation of POWs, but specifies conditions and
  limitations for conducting such an interrogation. It must be carried out in a language the prisoner understands
  and in a manner consistent with the requirements for humane treatment, including the prohibition against acts
  of violence or intimidation, and insults. No physical or mental torture, nor any form of coercion, may be
  inflicted on POWs to secure information from them of any kind. Prohibited means include imposing
  inhumane conditions, denial of medical treatment, or the use of mind-altering chemicals. POWs who refuse
  to answer may not be threatened, insulted, or exposed to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind
  (GPW arts. 13, 17). Intelligence interrogation by Army and Marine Corps personnel must also comply with
  U.S. law and policy (see Section 1045, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016; DOD
  Directive 3115.09, DOD Intelligence Interrogations, Detainee Debriefings, and Tactical Questioning; and
  Field Manual (FM) 2-22.3, Human Intelligence Collector Operations).
  INTERNMENT IN PRISONER OF WAR CAMPS
  3-66. POWs and retained personnel should be interned in camps that are situated in an area far enough from
  the combat zone for them to be out of danger. The camps should be located in areas that afford every
  guarantee of hygiene and healthfulness and to prevent epidemics. If necessary for security reasons or other
  military reasons, such as to discourage escape or reduce the risk of enemy raids, POW camps may be located
  outside the theater of operations. Because POW status is not punitive, POWs shall not be interned in
  penitentiaries unless such internment is in the POWs interest (see DOD Law of War Manual, 9.11.3.2).
  Military conditions permitting, POW camps should be clearly marked by the letters PG, PW, or other agreed-
  upon markings so the camps are clearly visible from the air during the day (GPW art. 23).
  3-67. POWs may have their movements restricted to certain limits, such as the camp where they are interned,
  or if the camp is fenced in, of not going outside its perimeter. Subject to the GPW provisions related to penal
  and disciplinary sanctions, POWs, may not be held in close confinement (for example a room or a cell) except
  where necessary to safeguard their health and then only during the continuation of circumstances that make
  such confinement necessary (GPW art. 21; see DOD Law of War Manual, 9.11.1).
