  • The word brig, in its most popular present day usage, refers to a military prison on board a United States Navy or Coast Guard vessel, or at an American naval base. The term derives from the US Navy's use of twin-mast sailing ships—or brigs—as prison ships. The original usage of the word brig in nautical terms, is a vessel with two square-rigged masts.
