Abstract
A restraining device for use in securing a hand-cuffed prisoner consisting of a control strap gripped through a releasable cam buckle that is resiliently secured to the handcuffs. A selected amount of control strap is looped around the prisoner's ankles and led through the cam buckle to expose the control end which may be pulled to shorten the control strap connection between ankles and handcuffs, or the cam buckle can be actuated to release the control strap thereby to allow greater prisoner freedom and movement.
