Short shackling

Short shackling

Short shackling is a technique used to restrain individuals.

The suspect's hands are shackled to an eyebolt in the floor, so that the suspect is forced to lie in a fetal position or squat. [ [http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Jul2005/d20050714report.pdf U_ FINAL AR 15-6 REPORT version 6.0 _9 Jun 05_.doc ] ] It is believed that the suspect's feet are also bound to the eyebolt, similar to hogtying, but this has not been confirmed in any government reports.Fact|date=January 2008
