(3) Immobilize the prisoner using the minimum force necessary so that the prisoner is not a threat to
himself or others. Each of the assisting corrections personnel will grasp one of the prisoner's arms or legs while
the fifth person applies the jacket.
(a) Face the prisoner into the jacket, at the same time slide the prisoner's arms into the jacket
sleeves. Bring the collar closed around the prisoner's neck.
(b) Move behind the prisoner and buckle the four horizontal straps.
(c) Move to the front of the prisoner; grasp his forearm in the jacket sleeve just in front of the
prisoner's hand.
(d) Pull firmly on the sleeve, passing the end of the sleeve through the sleeve strap (located at each
side).
(e) While one corrections person holds the first sleeve securely, repeat this procedure with the
other sleeve. (Ensure the prisoner's arms are crisscrossed.)
(f) Buckle the sleeves in the back.
(g) Pull down firmly on the bottom edge of the jacket bringing the crotch straps between the
prisoner's legs, and then buckle the strap firmly in the rear. Do not buckle so tightly that the prisoner is
uncomfortable.
(h) The prisoner should then be placed on a 15-minute watch.
