Staff Use of Force in U.S. Confinement Settings: Lawful Control Tactics Versus Corporal Punishment
The temptation to engage in de facto corporal punishment is reinforced by the wide range of high-tech, non-lethal weaponry available to correctional personnel: electronic stunning devices (some of which are capable of delivering 50,000 volts and can be used with shields, darts, and probes),4 sting shot rubber bullets, stun guns (canvas bags filled with lead shot, canisters filled with wood blocks, or rubber pellets fired from a 37 millimeter gas gun), pepper spray (a type of teargas made from cayenne peppers developed in Canada to control bears), and a variety of restraint devices such as the restraint chair and the Body Guard (advertised as a revolutionary new design that allows officers to safely restrain and immobilize combative subjects without facing the complications and dangers associated with the traditional restraint methods such as hogtying). The contribution of high-tech (and some low-tech) weaponry to patterns of de facto corporal punishment is illustrated by a federal district court decision rendered in 1995 involving one of the nation's most modern supermax facilities.
