Young Offenders: Restraint Techniques
Julie Morgan: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether he will place in the Library a copy of the manual for control and restraint in young offenders institutions. [194876]

The restraint methods involve a variety of defensive and disarming techniques ranging from simple breakaway techniques through to defensive strikes and defence against improvised weapons and firearms. For reasons of security the prison service does not disclose details of the individual techniques used in C and R.
