    It should be made clear that this relates to WW1, not WW2, the focus of the website..

    It should also be made clear that the fort was a military establishment, not a civil prison. Therefore any conscientious objectors there were not serving a sentence of imprisonment. They were held by the Army as resisting notional soldiers, having been forcibly enlisted.
