Excerpt of Relevant Text:
The use of any restraints, such as handcuffs, chains,
shackles, irons, or straitjackets, is highly discouraged. The
routine use of restraints on juveniles is a practice contrary to the
philosophy of balanced and restorative justice and undermines the
goals of providing treatment, supervision, and rehabilitation to
juveniles.
