    Instruments For
    Safe Custody

    644.A Instruments of restraint, general principles.---(1) Fetters shall not be used as


    restraints under any circumstances, except for dangerous prisoners.

    (2) Other instruments of restraint, as specified in these rules, shall only be used
    in exceptional cases, where all other control methods have been exhausted and failed, and
    only as explicitly authorised and specified in the following circumstances:

    (a) as a precaution against escape during a transfer, provided that they


    shall be removed when the prisoner appears before a Judicial or
    administrative authority and shall never be used with juveniles, except
    for security reasons;

    (b) on medical grounds by the recommendation of the Medical Officer;


    and

    (c) by order of the Superintendent, if other methods of control fail, in


    order to prevent a prisoner from injuring himself or others or from
    damaging property. In such instances, the Superintendent shall at once
    consult the Medical Officer and report to the higher administrative
    authority.

    (3) The patterns and manner of use of instruments of restraint shall be decided
    by the Superintendent. Such instruments must not be applied for any longer time than is
    strictly necessary.

    (4) Instruments of restraint shall never be used on women during labour, during
    birth and immediately after birth.

    645. Only Superintendent is authorized to order handcuffs.---Imposition of


    handcuffs requires the order of the Superintendent. Deputy Superintendent or Assistant
    Superintendent shall not order any prisoner to be put in handcuffs on his own authority
    except in the case of emergency in which case a report shall be made to the Superintendent
    in writing on his next visit to prison.

    646. Entries on history ticket.---If the Superintendent considers it necessary to impose


    handcuffs on any convicted or under-trial prisoner he shall record on the history ticket the
    reason for the imposition of the handcuffs and the period for which these are imposed. The
    date on which handcuffs are actually removed shall also be noted on the history ticket.
    647. Removal of handcuffs of patients.---Handcuffs of patients admitted to hospital
    shall be removed, unless the Superintendent directs otherwise or when the prisoner is
    especially dangerous and the fact has been noted on his history ticket by the
    Superintendent.

    648. Review of orders for the imposition of handcuffs.---(1) The Superintendent shall
    review, in the beginning of every quarter, cases of all the prisoners who are wearing
    handcuffs for safe custody.

    (2) The Inspector General may, at the time of inspection, satisfy himself that
    there are sufficient reasons for the imposition of handcuffs.

    (3) Handcuffs imposed for safe custody shall be removed immediately when the
    Superintendent is satisfied by the prisoner’s conduct, or other circumstances that their
    imposition is no longer necessary.

    649. to 651 ---[Deleted]

    652. Imposition of handcuffs.---Handcuffs may, as a measure of restraint, be imposed


    on any prisoner, if the Superintendent is of the opinion that their imposition is necessary
    for the protection of the prisoner himself or any other person.
