Maximum limits.(a) The punishment which a court-martial may direct for an offense may not exceed such limits as prescribed by this Code, but in no instance may a sentence exceed more than 10 years for a military offense, nor shall a sentence of death be adjudged.

(20 ILCS 1807/57) Sec. 57. Article 57. Effective date of sentences.(a) 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, 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.(b) 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 or deferred shall be excluded in computing the service of the term of confinement.(c) All other sentences of courts-martial are effective on the date ordered executed.

(20 ILCS 1807/57a) Sec. 57a. Article 57a. Deferment of sentences.(a) 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 that person's jurisdiction, the person exercising general court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is currently assigned, may in that person's 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 The deferment may be rescinded at any time by the person who granted it or, if the accused is no longer under that person's jurisdiction, by the person exercising general court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is currently assigned.(b)(1) In any case in which a court-martial sentences an accused referred to in paragraph (2) to confinement, the convening authority may defer the service of the sentence to confinement, without the consent of the accused, until after the accused has been permanently released to the State military forces by a state, the United States, or a foreign country referred to in that paragraph.(2) Paragraph (1) applies to a person subject to this Code who:(A) while in the custody of a state, the United

States, or a foreign country is temporarily returned by that state, the United States, or a foreign country to the State military forces for trial by court-martial; and

(B) after the court-martial, is returned to that

state, the United States, or a foreign country under the authority of a mutual agreement or treaty, as the case may be.

(3) In this subsection, the term "state" includes the District of Columbia and any Commonwealth, Territory, or possession of the United States.(c) In any case in which a court-martial sentences an accused to confinement and the sentence to confinement has been ordered executed, but in which review of the case under Article 67a of this Code is pending, the Adjutant General may defer further service of the sentence to confinement while that review is pending.

Execution of confinement.(a) 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 authorized by this Code. Persons so confined are subject to the same discipline and treatment as persons regularly confined or committed to that place of confinement.(b) The omission of hard labor as a sentence authorized under this Code does not deprive the State confinement facility from employing it, if it otherwise is within the authority of that facility to do so.(c) No place of confinement may require payment of any fee or charge for so receiving or confining a person except as otherwise provided by law.

The forfeiture pursuant to this Article shall take effect on the date determined under subsection (a) of Article 57 of this Code and may be deferred as provided by that Article. The pay and allowances forfeited, in the case of a general court-martial, shall be all pay and allowances due that member during such period and, in the case of a special court-martial, shall be two-thirds of all pay due that member during such period. (2) A sentence covered by this Article is any sentence that includes:(A) confinement for more than 6 months; or(B) confinement for 6 months or less and a

dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge or dismissal.

(b) In a case involving an accused who has dependents, the convening authority or other person acting under Article 60 of this Code may waive any or all of the forfeitures of pay and allowances required by subsection (a) for a period not to exceed 6 months. Any amount of pay or allowances that, except for a waiver under this subsection, would be forfeited shall be paid, as the convening authority or other person taking action directs, to the dependents of the accused.(c) If the sentence of a member who forfeits pay and allowances under subsection (a) is set aside or disapproved or, as finally approved, does not provide for a punishment referred to in paragraph (2) of subsection (a), the member shall be paid the pay and allowances which the member would have been paid, except for the forfeiture, for the period during which the forfeiture was in effect.
