Content: Restraining inmates
When an inmate won't cooperate or is threatening violence against another inmate or prison guard, restraint needs to be employed. There are regulations on how to restrain an inmate who is otherwise uncooperative. You will learn how to use non-lethal force to get the inmate into a hold and how to use restraints to keep them from moving. Use of non-lethal weapons
A prison facility may prefer to use non-lethal weapons to gain control of a situation. That can include using items such as tasers, batons and pepper spray. Proper use of non-lethal weapons is important in order to regain control of a hostile situation and minimize the risk of harm to all who are involved. Security procedures for the facility
Rules and procedures are at the core of prison operation. Everyone, including inmates, prison guards, other staff and visitors, has to follow their security procedures and rules. The prison guard has to know all the rules in the facility and who they apply to. That includes processing paperwork for intake and release, how to handle a lockdown, transportation of prisoners, ethics and more.
