Abstract: |
A restraint for the hands of a handcuffed person includes a fabric pouch having a drawstring, and grommets along an edge thereof. The drawstring has a ring at one portion, and a spring clip at an opposing portion. The pouch is placed over both hands of a handcuffed person, the drawstring pulled tight by means of the spring clip which is passed through the ring and attached to a grommet. A plastic liner may be installed in the pouch prior to use to protect and collect evidence from a suspect's hands.
