Committee Report Minutes

The Committee above entitled met on the morning of 
December 11, 1995 for the purpose of clarifying certain 
issues regarding the transportation arrangements of 
female prisoners, and compliance with certain federal 
guidelines regarding the conduct of female prisoners.

Clarification of standards with respect to the 
transportation of female prisoners was requested by the 
Federal Deputies Union.  At issue was the type of 
clothing permitted, the restraints recommended, and the 
conduct permitted female prisoners, whether state or 
federal. This committee will recommend the following 
guidelines for Commission approval:

a. Clothing.

The female prisoner, while traveling, may wear non-prison 
clothing, if permitted by the accompanying deputy. 

Recommended dress is business attire, such as skirt, 
blouse, and jacket, or attractive feminine dress attire, 
such a dresses, or blouse and slacks.  High-heels are 
permitted, but only of the strap-on variety, so they 
cannot easily be removed and used as a weapon.

Unusual dress, or dress which could attract undue 
attention, is not permitted.  For instance, bikinis, 
leather hot pants, see-through blouses, tank tops, 
thigh-high lacing high-heeled boots are expressly 
forbidden. 

However, a leather mini-skirt, with a white blouse with 
see-through sleeves, and high black strap-on heels may 
be permitted, if done in taste.

Failing appropriate attire provided by the female 
prisoner, the deputy shall always have a bright orange 
prisoner jumpsuit available as attire for the prisoner.

b. Restraint.

Female prisoners in transport must be kept in restraints 
at all time. 

Handcuffs must be placed on the women, behind their 
back, double-locked, and the links between the chain 
must be secured by a locking chain to the small of their 
back. 

Leg-irons must also be placed on and remain on the 
ankles of the prisoners, even when walking in public 
places, such as airport and bus terminals - for there is 
the greatest risk of escape. 

The Subcommittee further recommends the addition of a 
ball-gag, with padlock, and a black headbag for use at 
times deemed appropriate, by the accompanying deputy, 
but specifically during transport on common carriers, 
such as buses, and air-liners.

The addition of the ball-gag and headbag almost 
completely assures no communication with parties which 
may aid in escape.  Of course, sanitary practice demands 
that each woman prisoner be issued her own ball-gag, 
which can be kept buckled about her throat (even when 
not inserted and locked into her mouth) at all times 
during transport.

c. Conduct.

Recent Federal Morality laws, spearheaded by a Senator 
From Nebraska, and passed by the Senate and House by a 
wide margin without any substantive debate, explicitly 
forbids masturbation by prisoners of Federal, State and 
local authorities.  

Of course, all jail cells have already been fitted with 
lockdown devices on the bunks to restrain the arms, 
separate the knees, and provide a locking prod-gag for 
all prisoners serving sentences in State and Federal 
correctional facilities. 

However, the burden to assure that no masturbation 
occurs by females in transport falls on the transporting 
deputy.   Further, it is acknowledged that the urge to 
masturbate will be strong, since they will be 
temporarily out of the restraints that they are 
currently required to sleep in.

Therefore, this Subcommittee recommends that an 
additional restraint be issued.  A 6-inch dowel with 
locking leather straps will separate the knees of all 
women prisoners sleeping in public accommodations.

This, coupled with wrists locked behind their 
backs, ball-gags locked in place, and leg irons, 
should completely prevent manual masturbation, 
and also indirect masturbation caused by 
squeezing the knees together. 

Also, as a result of this legislation, the use of 
crotch-ropes is strongly discouraged, even though it may 
enhance the security of the prisoner.  

To cite an example, a college cheerleader, serving 4 
year term in State Prison for check kiting, and taken on 
the college lecture circuit by a female deputy as an 
example to others. (All her public appearances were in 
her cheer-leader's outfit, with chains at her wrists and 
ankles.) 

When she was bed down for the night, in a black teddy, 
the deputy saw to it that she was tightly bound at the 
wrists and elbows, ball-gagged, tethered by the neck to 
the bed, and bound at both the knees and ankles.  As an 
added precaution, she required the young prisoner to 
keep her black heels strapped onto her ankles, and added 
a crotch-rope from her tummy to the ropes that lashed 
her wrists.

This completed, the deputy began to shower, but competed 
her shower only to find that the young woman was 
writhing in her bondage and groaning in pleasure, as the 
crotch-rope permitted her the opportunity for genital 
stimulation! 

The deputy was only narrowly able to avert allowing the 
prisoner to reach orgasm by quickly cutting the crotch-
rope with a pair of scissors, then untying her legs, and 
spreading them quickly to either bedpost, frustrating any 
further attempts at self-gratification.

The deputy was reprimanded for the breach of permissible 
conduct by a prisoner under her care.

Therefore, we believe that the locking knee-separator is 
the best method of keeping female prisoners from self-
stimulation, when used with standard restrains including 
handcuffs, leg-irons, and a locking ball-gag.

Summary

We hope that the work of this Subcommittee will be 
helpful to law enforcement adminstrators who are 
required to transport female prisoners.

This is a rapidly changing area, and it is recommended 
that all administrators keep alert for new bulletins and 
Federally mandated requirements to assure that they are 
in compliance with current guidelines for female 
prisoner restraint and conduct.
