In my research on uniforms, I found the procedures for straitjackets. To be honest, the scenario sounds rather exciting, under the right conditions of course. A whole assortment of restraints is needed – handcuffs, leg irons, and of course the straitjacket. What do you think?
From MCO 1510.86B (since deleted):

Detail is short on content. In forensic or correctional facilities a control hood is often required. Also better to use a wrist cuff and belly chain to maintain one arm cuffed at all times. After one arm inserted in the sj sleeve it is cuffed to the belly chain until the other arm is in the sj . Legs to be cinched at ankles and above knees before application of sj. Many other points to be made in protocol for uncooperative prisoner
