SC Code § 25-1-2795 (2021)
2021 South Carolina Code of Laws|Title 25 - Military, Civil Defense and Veterans Affairs|Chapter 1 - Military Code|Section 25-1-2795. Effective date of sentences; forfeiture of pay; confinement; deferment of sentence.

 Whenever a sentence of a court-martial as lawfully adjudged and approved includes a forfeiture of pay or allowances in addition to confinement not suspended or deferred, the forfeiture may apply to pay or allowances becoming due on or after the date the sentence is approved by the convening authority. No forfeiture may extend to any pay or allowances accrued before that date.  Any period of confinement included in a sentence of a court-martial begins to run from the date the sentence is adjudged by the court-martial, but periods during which the sentence to confinement is suspended must be excluded in computing the service of the term of confinement.  All other sentences of courts-martial are effective on the date ordered executed.  On application by an accused who is under sentence to confinement that has not been ordered executed, the convening authority or, if the accused is no longer under his jurisdiction, the person exercising court-martial jurisdiction, may in his sole discretion defer service of the sentence to confinement. The deferment shall terminate when the sentence is ordered executed. The deferment may be rescinded at any time by the officer who granted it or, if the accused is no longer under his jurisdiction, by the person exercising court-martial jurisdiction.  HISTORY: 1984 Act No. 378, Section 28; 2001 Act No. 85, Section 38.

2021 South Carolina Code of Laws|Title 25 - Military, Civil Defense and Veterans Affairs|Chapter 1 - Military Code|Section 25-1-2800. Execution of sentence of confinement; hard labor.

 Under such instructions as the adjutant general may prescribe, a sentence of confinement adjudged by a court-martial, whether or not the sentence includes discharge or dismissal, and whether or not the discharge or dismissal has been executed, may be carried into execution by confinement in any place of confinement under the control of the federal armed forces, the state military forces or in any penal or correctional institution, detention facility, jail, or stockade under the control of the State or a political subdivision of it, or which the State or a political subdivision of it may be allowed to use. Persons so confined in a penal or correctional institution not under the control of the military forces are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons confined or committed by the courts of the State.  The omission of the words "hard labor" from any sentence or punishment of a court-martial adjudging confinement does not deprive the authority executing that sentence or punishment of the power to require hard labor as a part of the punishment.

In no case, however, may the record be returned:  (1) for reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of any specification, or a ruling which amounts to a finding of not guilty;  (2) for reconsideration of a finding of not guilty of any charge, unless the record shows a finding of guilty under a specification laid under that charge, which sufficiently alleges a violation of some section of this code;  (3) for increasing the severity of the sentence unless the sentence prescribed for the offense is mandatory.
