Restraint Devices

Texas jailers can use various mechanical restraint devices to restrict the bodily movements of an inmate whose behavior poses harm to himself or herself and others. In correctional facilities categorized as “non-secure,” there are limitations to the types of mechanical restraint devices that can be used. The following are among the mechanical restraint devices that are permitted in all detainment facilities in Texas:

• Ankle cuffs, which restrain the movement of the legs with a metal band around the ankles.
• Handcuffs, which are designed for the wrists, restrain the unrestricted movement of the arms and hands.
• Waist belts, designed to be fastened around the waist, are metal, leather, or cloth bands used to secure an individual’s arms to the front or sides of their body.
• Plastic cuffs can be used on the legs or wrists to restrict the movement of the legs, arms, or hands.
