Restraints

The right of inmates must be protected during incarceration. For that reason, various activities in jails come under strict guidelines. Jasper County Jail, like all Texas jails, has an option of using restraints when the behavior of a detainee is a threat to themselves or to someone else’s safety. The following are some of the guidelines for using restraints:

• Authorization for using restraints must be made by medical personnel or supervisory staff. Checking the medical condition of an inmate is part of the process of placing an inmate in restraints.
• Under no circumstances should an inmate be placed in restraints for longer than 24 hours.
• There are strict guidelines that uniquely apply to the restraint of pregnant inmates.
