He is headed to Ft Leavenworth where he will still be considered an Officer and not required to do manual labor unless he chooses to do so. The prison there has many different shops such as printing, laundry, etc for the inmates to work in. Enlisted prisoners are required to work and officers normally get to work too after getting bored sitting in their cells all day. The prison is 8 or 10 stories tall as well and new inmates are on the top floor so they spend much of their break time on stairs going each way. Better behavior brings them down closer to the ground. Officers are kept separate from enlisted.
Well that makes me feel a LOT better than he wont have to do manual labor!! the horror...
