Conn. Gen. Stat. § 27-152

Punishment prohibited before trial

Known as the Connecticut Code

The act spans §§ 27–27 (134 sections).

(1967, P.A. 717, S. 12.)

Subject to section 27-199 , no person, while being held for trial or the result of trial, shall be subjected to punishment or penalty other than arrest or confinement upon the charges pending against him, nor shall the arrest or confinement imposed upon him be any more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence, but he may be subjected to minor punishment during that period for infractions of discipline, and may be required to perform such labor as may be necessary for the policing and sanitation of his living quarters and mess facilities and the area immediately adjacent thereto.
