Marine Corps Brig

The Marine Corps Brig, also known as the military correctional facility, was established to maintain discipline and order within the United States Marine Corps. Initially, brigs were simple holding areas aboard ships or at Marine bases, evolving over time into secure, professionally managed detention centers. Throughout its history, the Marine Corps Brig has played a crucial role in housing service members awaiting trial, serving sentences, or undergoing rehabilitation. The unit’s mission today emphasizes correction, rehabilitation, and the safe custody of military prisoners, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of Marine Corps operations.
