CHAPTER 305--COMMITMENT AND TRANSFER
Sec. 4086. Temporary safe-keeping of federal offenders by
marshals
United States marshals shall provide for the safe-keeping of any

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 851.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 691, 692, (R.S.
Secs. 5537, 5538).
Said section 691 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is superseded by
sections 753b and 753c of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which are
incorporated in sections 4002, 4003 and 4042 of this title.
This section is rewritten to retain the intent of section 692 of
title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which was to insure a safekeeping of United
States prisoners until their commitment or confinement in Federal penal
institutions. The language conforms with that of said sections 692 and
753b.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
