Abstract
A violent subject immobilization device is provided comprised of an elongated pliable trapezoidal-shaped body member of such size and shape so as to be able to be completely wrapped about the legs of a prisoner or person to be detained and extending from a position above the person's knees to a position below the person's knees. The body member has opposed outer layers of protective material and an inner unitary bendable stiffening/reinforcing material adapted to immobilize the knee joint and the wrapped leg portion of the person. Strap means are provided to permit the wrapped body member to be held in position about the legs of the person. Hand restraint means are also provided along the top edge of the body member. Upright positioning of the subject (sitting or standing) is maintained by means of a shoulder harness attachable to the body member.
