Ahem... Air Force calls 'em 'confinement facilities'. Brigs are for swab-jockeys!
Interestingly, the confinement facility inmates at old Lowry were fed by the food service school students. The inmates in the facility were undergoing a rehabilitation program where if they stayed on good behavior and completed their confinement, they would have the opportunity to come back into the Air Force and re-start their careers. No first-termers there - all were former NCOs, as evidenced by the unfaded shadow of their former rank on their green fatigues (this was before BDUs). I saw plenty of former staff and tech sergeants, and even one master sergeant (back when the MSgt rank was six downward chevrons - not the five down and one up that's the current rank).
