Sec. 719.151  Furnishing of advice and counsel to accused placed in 
pretrial confinement.

    The Department of the Navy Corrections Manual, SECNAVINST 1640.9, 
reiterates the requirement of Article 10, UCMJ, that, when a person is 
placed in pretrial confinement, immediate steps should be taken to 
inform the confinee of the specific wrong of which he is accused and try 
him or to dismiss the charges and release him. The Corrections Manual 
requires that this information normally will be provided within 48 hours 
along with advice as to the confinee's right to consult with lawyer 
counsel and his right to prepare for trial. Lawyer counsel may be either 
a civilian lawyer provided by the confinee at his own expense or a 
military lawyer provided by the Government. If a confinee requests to 
confer with a military lawyer, such lawyer should normally be made 
available for consultation within 48 hours after the request is made.
