Restraints

Specific guidelines are provided within the minimum jail standards to ensure that each type of restraint device is used in no other manner than what is set out by TCJS. The following are among the guidelines for use of restraint devices:

• The type of restraint device used must be one that restricts an inmate’s movements only to the degree necessary to protect the detainee from self-harm and to protect others from being injured. When feasible, restraints used should be padded or soft.
• Care must be taken to ensure that an inmate is not restrained in a way or in a position that would worsen any existing physical maladies.
