Statute 48-2207: (KCMJ Art. 13) Punishment prohibited before trial.
No person, while being held for trial, may be subjected
to punishment or penalty other than
arrest or confinement upon the charges pending against him or her, nor shall
the arrest or confinement imposed upon the person be any more rigorous than the
circumstances require to insure his or her presence, but the person may
be subjected to minor punishment during that period for infractions of discipline.
