18 U.S.C. § 4083 — Penitentiary imprisonment; consent

Page 906 TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE § 4083 Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 89–176 added subsec. (f). Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1984 AMENDMENT Amendment by Pub. L. 98–473 effective Nov. 1, 1987, and applicable only to offenses committed after the taking effect of such amendment, see section 235(a)(1) of Pub. L. 98–473, set out as an Effective Date note under section 3551 of this title. § 4083. Penitentiary imprisonment; consent Persons convicted of offenses against the United States or by courts-martial punishable by imprisonment for more than one year may be confined in any United States penitentiary. A sentence for an offense punishable by im- prisonment for one year or less shall not be served in a penitentiary without the consent of the defendant. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 850; Pub. L. 86–256, Sept. 14, 1959, 73 Stat. 518.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 753f, 762 (Mar. 2, 1895, ch. 189, § 1, 28 Stat. 957; June 10, 1896, ch. 400, § 1, 29 Stat. 380; May 14, 1930, ch. 274, § 7, 46 Stat. 326; June 14, 1941, ch. 204, 55 Stat. 252; Oct. 21, 1941, ch. 453, 55 Stat. 743). Said section 762 was condensed and simplified and ex- tended to all penitentiaries instead of to Leavenworth only, since the section is merely declaratory of existing law. (See section 1 of this title classifying offenses and notes thereunder.) The second paragraph is derived from said section 753f of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Minor changes of phraseology were made. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1959—Pub. L. 86–256 substituted ‘‘punishable by im- prisonment for’’ for ‘‘and sentenced to terms of impris- onment of’’ in first sentence. [§§ 4084, 4085. Repealed. Pub.
