Do yr guards carry and use items like batons, taser, pepper spray etc to deal with dangerous prisoners. Also I read you don't routinely have prisoner in restraints in their cell...not sure of yr process but could I request that cell door is not to be opened to move me etc until the restraints are applied thru doorvsame with return to cell
I would love to tell you that we carry "less than lethal" items but the harsh reality is that we would instantly run afoul of our insurance carriers. In addition, many of our players strongly react to the presence of some of these items. Because we host roleplays of as many as 18 inmates, that is 18 personalities to take into account. So, except for a baton from time to time, the pepper spray, the cattle prods, the electrified shields, the bean bag guns, and other devices are NOT used.
What you will end up with is a view of a toilet and a concrete block wall if the staff even wishes they had pepper spray to control you!
The other part of your question is a little complicated. Because of our 2 door designs (shown above), applying leg irons prior to your cell door opening is awkward in one case and impossible in the other. You would need to wear leg irons throughout your stay and therefore already have them on. Then, you could be cuffed through the bars.
Any kind of complex restraint like black box or connector chains or leather belts or belly chains MUST be done after your cell door is opened.
