My husband, who is ex-military--a retired major--tells me that when soldiers sign up, they sign up for just that thing. Whether or not someone is deprived to their room for punishment or deprived to their room because their course officer has deprived them of their liberty, they are not leaving base for two weeks and they have extra duties. Soldiers, when they sign on, expect that kind of deprivation. That is very different from being sent to Edmonton under the current punishment available. That is a real deprivation.
