  PROHIBITED PENALTIES
  3-143. No penalty may be imposed on POWs that is not authorized for members of the armed forces of the
  detaining power who have committed the same acts. The following punishments are expressly prohibited
  (GPW art. 87):
  * Collective punishments for individual acts;
  * Corporal punishment;
  * Imprisonment in premises without daylight;
  * Any form of torture or cruelty; or
  * Deprivation of rank or of the right to wear badges.
  3-144. Courts or authorities assessing judicial or disciplinary penalties must consider that the accused does
  not owe allegiance to the detaining power and may be, for example, under a duty to escape, and is in its
  power through circumstances beyond his or her control . Consequently, such courts or authorities may reduce
  the penalty below any minimum penalty prescribed for members of the armed forces of the detaining power.
  (GPW art. 87).
  DEATH PENALTY
  3-145. The following are special rules regarding the death sentence for POWs (GPW art. 100):
  * A POW and the protecting power shall be informed, as soon as possible, of any offense that is
  punishable by a death sentence under the laws of the detaining power. Other offenses shall not
  thereafter be made punishable by the death penalty without the concurrence of the power on which
  the POWs depend.
  * A death sentence may not be pronounced on POWs unless the attention of the court has been
  drawn particularly to the fact that:
   Since the accused is not a national of the detaining power, he or she is not bound to it by any
  duty of allegiance; and
   That he or she is in the power of the detaining power as the result of circumstances
  independent of his or her own will.
  * If the death penalty is pronounced on a POW, the sentence shall not be executed for at least six
  months after communication to the protecting power of the details related to the death sentence.
  APPEALS
  3-146. Every POW must be given the same rights of petition or appeal from any sentence pronounced
  against him or her as members of the armed forces of the detaining power, with a view to the quashing or
  revising of the sentence or reopening of the trial. A POW must be fully and immediately informed of those
  rights and of any applicable time limits. The detaining power must also immediately communicate to the
  protecting power the POW’s decision to exercise or to waive the right to an appeal (GPW arts. 106, 107).
  NOTIFICATION OF FINAL CONVICTION
  3-147. If a POW is finally convicted or if a death sentence is pronounced, the detaining power must, as
  soon as possible, send the protecting power written details of (GPW art. 107):
  * The precise wording of the finding and sentence.
  * A summarized report of any preliminary investigation and of the trial, emphasizing in particular
  the elements of the prosecution and defense cases.
  * Notification, if applicable, of the establishment where the sentence will be served or carried out.
  CONDITION UNDER WHICH SENTENCES ARE TO BE SERVED
  3-148. Any sentence pronounced on a POW must be served in the same establishment and under the same
  conditions as a member of the detaining power’s armed forces would serve a similar sentence. The conditions
  must in all cases conform to the basic requirements of health and humanity established in the GPW. A POW
