V.
Making Prisons Safe Places
Use of force, including use of firearms, to prevent escape
should only be applied when less extreme means are
insufficient to prevent the escape.56
Restraints may be used only as a precaution against escape
during transfer, for no longer than strictly necessary, and
provided that they are removed when the prisoner appears
before a judicial or administrative authority; or on medical
grounds.57
Prisons should be safe environments for all who live and
work in them, in other words for prisoners and staff, and
for visitors.58
No one in a prison should fear for his or her physical
safety.59
Chains and irons shall not be used as restraints.60
Discipline and order shall be maintained with firmness, but
with no more restriction than is necessary for safe custody
and well-ordered community life.61
All disciplinary offences and punishments must be
specified by law or published legal regulations.62
