"blue box" handcuff cover

Here, the handcuff cover is used in combination with a martin link belly chain which fixes the handcuffs at waist level. This provides a rather uncomfortable restraint and may result in injury to the individual if maintained for an extended period of time. The arms being hold in a parallel position, the restraint will cause the wrists to spread outwardly in an angular relationship. As the handcuff cover provides a rigid structure, the individual's wrists may be bruised or cocked, restricting blood circulation.

 

If you get put in these one day: congrats, you hit the jackpot! It's one of the most uncomfortable restraints being used in modern correctional practice. But from an officer's view, they provide enhanced security. So perhaps it was your fault that brought you in that situation? Anyhow, don't complain, that won't make it better. Stay compliant, don't resist. Keep your hands as still as possible. Accept these restraints as part of your punishment.
