4.C.3. Prisoner Uniforms
Coast Guard members are required to have a full seabag prior to reporting to a military
brig. Shower thongs, toiletries, and towels may also be required. Missing or
unserviceable items are replaced at the member’s expense. If the member is not able to
pay for the needed items, then the member may receive a gratuitous issue of the needed
items.
Once the member is incarcerated, the Pay and Personnel Center (PPC), Topeka, Kansas,
assumes the duties of managing Coast Guard uniform replacement. Gratuitous
replacements should be on an individual “as needed” basis with an estimated maximum
outlay of $200.00 per person per year. Submit replacement requests on Form CG-3019 to
PPC (Admin).
For all gratuitous issues, PPC will use the following accounting string to procure items:
2/P/Y01/299/11/0/UD/70050/2613. Note: “Y” denotes fiscal year of expense. If and
when the member is able to repay the cost of the gratuitous issue, that cost should be
recovered.
