MONITORING PLACES OF DETENTION : A PRACTICAL GUIDE 1 112 record should be kept of every instance of the use of force against prisoners.” CPT, GR 2, §53 See also ACPR, A-5; IDRCPDL, art. 46 and EPR, Rule 39. Juveniles “Recourse to instruments of restraint and to force for any purpose should be prohibited, except as set forth in rule 64 below.” RPJDL, 63 “Instruments of restraint and force can only be used in exceptional cases, where all other control methods have been exhausted and failed, and only as explicitly authorized and specified by law and regulation. They should not cause humiliation or degradation, and should be used restrictively and only for the shortest possible period of time. By order of the director of the administration, such instruments might be resorted to in order to prevent the juvenile from inflicting self-injury, injuries to others or serious destruction of property. In such instances, the director should at once consult medical and other relevant personnel and report to the higher administrative authority.” RPJDL, 64 Comments Some means of restraint are absolutely forbidden. All permitted means of constraint should be resorted to on an exceptional basis. They should never be used as a disciplinary sanction. Furthermore, they must be accompanied by a series of guarantees: ■ Prisoners should be restrained for the minimum time necessary; ■ The use of means of constraint (or force) must be recorded in a register; ■ The director must be informed immediately.
